He won't need a work permit if he's not working (ie. playing/training) here so I don't see any reason why we couldn't sign him and loan him out.
Yea, United have done that with Dong Fangzhou before and I think Arsenal did it recently with Wellington Silva?
So, Udinese is safe and transfer market already begins. Official: hired Hamdi Harbaoui, 31YO Tunisian/Belgian striker, from a mid-low table Belgian club. http://udinese.it/portal/EN/handle/?hil&page=redazione_approfondimenti&vid=5594 http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hamdi-harbaoui/profil/spieler/49841 Hardly an exciting signing, a completely unknown 31YO striker. Yet ... he arrived late in Europe, when 23YO in 2008 in Belgian 2nd Division, but scored really a lot since then (http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/hamdi-harbaoui/leistungsdaten/spieler/49841/plus/0?saison=ges). His super hattrick two days ago shows he might have some skill: [video=youtube;aS3_hi4dp8A]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aS3_hi4dp8A[/video] He might be a decent alternative to Thereau (2 years older, decent scorer but somewhat a troublemaker in dressing room according to rumours, I hope we get rid of him). Also, I like fairytales about late bloomers and I still have an insane faith in the good eye of our scouts. We'll see if he proves his worthiness on the field. Welcome to Udinese, Hamdi! (of course, it's well possible he's finally destined to Granada or even WFC, for what I know)
