[SIGNED loan] Andre Carrillo

Tarantino bases his movie ideas on Gino's transfer techniques.

 

I've been booing this guy since June...

 

I like the fact that this thread has an image of Jim Bowen on the front. I hope we sign this guy and he looks like the Bullseye presenter.

 

Will he be Bully's Special Prize?

 

André Martín Carrillo Díaz (born 14 June 1991) is a Peruvian professional footballer who plays for the Premier Leagues most exciting and up and coming English club Watford FC and the Peru national team, primarily as a winger or a second striker.

André Carrillo'a Wikipedia. You've got to love whoever did that.

 

HB1 ? He's normally a few days ahead of the rest of the internet

 

Any news on this? Seemed it was all moving fast and a medical/announcement imminent.

 

Could be waiting for the work permit?

 

Wouldn't be a delay with that, he passes comfortably.

 

Sadly for Carrillo and WFC the Home Office department who sort these things set off on a works jolly to Cromer in Norfolk on Friday morning and things turned sour over the weekend. I'm not sure anything will get rubber stamped anytime soon.

Amber Rudd letting her hair down after a stressful election.

 

On the work permit issue, naturalised Portuguese citizenship takes 6 years. Carrillo joined Sporting in 2011. Worst case scenario he could just become Portuguese.

 

Knowing Gino that's probably why they've delayed it haha

Btw, I don't disagree with your earlier post, just the reports seemed so sure he had signed I thought the WP was the only explanation as to why it's not been officially announced (like with Rich)

Carrillo's girlfriend is pregnant.. Is the reason for the transfer take so time

 

I suspect it is the portugal naturalisation issue - he has only played 3 times in last 18 months and with Peru 23rd in the rankings he needs to have played 60% of games - so I suspect they are doing it the EU citizen way

 

Had a similar issue when signing Doucoure, delayed his signature by 6 months and ultimately left him in limbo (somehow) for a further year afterwards

Especially like this bit

"The 26-year old is known for his blistering pace and trickery on the ball, and he effortlessly glides past defenders in the attacking third. His close control when on the ball, combined with his ability to weave past opponents with speed and power make him a real asset. The Peruvian is someone who can go wide or cut inside, and can hit a fierce shot at goal with his stronger right-foot.

Explosive, with pace to burn, technically gifted and with the knack of scoring and creating chances, Carrillo could turn out to be the right personnel on the right flank in the 4-3-3 system that Silva is trying to implement at Watford this season."

 

Amazing transformation this season from a team with zero pace to one with blistering pace across the front 3.

 

we've probably not had pace like this since the days of Blissett & Barnes.

Exciting times.

 

Would be surprised if a WP wasn't granted based on his stats.

Peru squad 46 times
Starting eleven 24 times
Substituted on 12 times
On the bench 10 times
Suspended 10 times
Injured 2 times

He also played in Peru's most recent WCQ's in November (2016) and March (2017).

 

Last time we had serious pace was our promotion season un Aidy, that was a quick team.

 

I think they use the last 24 months (to avoid old timers past their best retiring on PL wages) - not 60% in that window i suspect

 

You could well be right.

This is what it looks like for that period of time

Since 2015

13 starts
3 on bench
14 suspended/not in squad

 

Peru are 15 in the FIFA World Rankings. He'd therefore need to have played 45% or more of their games in the last 24 months to get a work permit.

Since August 2015 he's played 8 games out of 23 so far I can tell. He'd need to have played 11.

Looks like another appeal is on the horizon.

 

How would that work with the deal being a loan, therefore no significant fee? The wages we pay would probably be whatever Benfica pay him, which is not guaranteed to be above the percentage required.

As mentioned elsewhere, Carrillo is now eligible for a European passport. An application for that may be the delay.

 

That is my view - i missed their elevation to 15 (last i saw was 23) but i never challenge UEA on fact!

 

No idea how a loan factors in the work permit system. I can't believe unless he's very far along the process already he'd be talking a couple of weeks to get a Portuguese passport however. Surely there's reams of paperwork to fill out, interviews, tests, ceremonies and all sorts first?

I've taken it from FIFA's website.

 

Despite all the speculation on his board, I can't believe the club would waste weeks of time negotiating a deal with Benfica and the player if they didn't think he would be allowed to play in England.

 

Exactly...its being worked on surely...No ITK just my view...

 

Sorry, But what does ITK mean?

 

It means 'In The Know'. Colloquial language for someone who is well informed.

 

Thanks... André is taking long time because of work permit.. Between Benfica, Watford and the player, it´s done... How long does it take this issue of work permit

 

It means your name is Jim and you know nothing.

 

Or not as is the case occasionally!!

 

About 2.5 years and counting in the case of Penaranda
