MC Prussian Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 That's why Twitter is struggling (and their users, too): Lincoln is indeed 36 years old. Used to play for Schalke - I remember him being very much loved up there. But that was ten, eleven years ago! So, highly unlikely we'll go for him - has he found his legs again? EDIT: Unless liam's just gullible and can't spell the name right, that is.
GLC Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Maybe the wrong Lincoln then Maybe the wrong Lincoln then Maybe the wrong Lincoln then Maybe the wrong Lincoln then I'm thinking it might be the wrong Lincoln
Liamlcfc1 Posted 10 August 2015 Author Posted 10 August 2015 Sorry about the triple post Must be this guy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lincoln_Henrique
Carl the Llama Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 The right Lincoln: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/lincoln/profil/spieler/351738
NewquayFox Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Not having that name on my feckin shirt then, cost more than a full kit..... Up the City.....
The Doctor Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 The right Lincoln has a much more boring name. I don't care if this guy is retired, can we sign him for one match and bring back Alan Young to do the commentary for it?
ramboacdc Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 jesus christ thats gonna cost a lot to get on a shirt.
filbertstreet Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 He sounds like one of the generated players on fifa
VLC86 Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Lincoln is good on the park.. This summer is really taking me one step closer to edge, and I'm about to break!
les-tah Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Sounds like we have a very good relationship with this DIS
GingerrrFox Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Surely a work permit would be very hard to get? More like impossible to get, he would have to go on loan for years.
Lesteban Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Interested or not, doesn't seem like we couldn't sign this guy for quite some time, he has made 9 appearances for Brazil's U17's (3 goals), that's all. From memory, Kramaric was below the required number of senior international caps (was 2 below the limit, I think) and we had to argue his case at a tribunal with the home office, we have no chance with this kid:"During an update on the England Commission, The FA Chairman said the Home Office has agreed to a “fundamental reform” to the existing work permit regulations, to ensure only the most talented non-EU players meet new criteria. The new requirements state that non-EEA (European Economic Area) players will have to meet a minimum percentage of international matches played for their country over the previous 24 month period, as determined by that country’s FIFA world ranking."
Finnegan Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 There's a precedent for signing Brazilian non international players and them getting work permits. The argument is that Brazil is a huge country with a massive football playing population and only a few can be internationals. Chelsea used this argument to sign Willian, I think it was. But I'm not sure whether you can sign a teenager from Brazil that young. Don't both their own FA and now FIFA have rules to stop poaching so young?

There is that too, those are the rules Barcelona broke recently: "FIFA rules state that international transfers are only permitted for players over the age of 18 - unless the individual players meets one of three qualifying criteria. According to the FIFA, 'Under-18s can move to a club in a different country if their parents move there for non-footballing reasons, if they are from another nation within the European Union or European Economic Area and aged between 16 and 18, or if they live within 100km of the club."
mozartfox Posted 10 August 2015 Posted 10 August 2015 Brazilians normally acquire Portuguese Passports.
