Obinna Nsofor still Inter Milan Player....

Nsofor will not be playing in the EPL this season. He was expected to join Everton on a season-long loan, with a view to a permanent move next summer from Inter Milan.It is believed that it is an issue with regards to a work permit that has scuppered the deal, with the 21-year-old publicly declaring his interest in joining the Merseyside club recently.
Moyes attended an appeal hearing in London which confirmed the 21-year-old would not be given the green light to play in England as he hasn't played in 75 percent of Nigeria's matches over the last two years.
Good luck to Nsofor, Inter is a great team and believe me, Jose Mourinho will do a very good job on him to make him a better player and he is sure to win silverwares with the Seria A champion.
The Verdict...
What do you guys think of the Home Office decision to deny this young lad a work permit even after an appeal? Is it fair to say a non EU player must have played 75% of his country's matches before being granted a work permit in the UK?
Obinna
represented Nigeria in the u-20 World Youth Championship, he also played with the Super Eagles in the African Nations Cup 2006 and was a member of the Nigeria u-23 Olympic team that won the Silver medal, scoring 3 goals in that tournament. Even with this impressive CV at 21, the home office still denied him a work permit.
What's your verdict on this?
See you soon.

is still a good deal for Obinna,coming to EPL or playing in seria A. I believe in Mourihno's managerial capability of turning someone into something else, all Obinna need to do is to concetrate and do the right thing,before this season will come to an end we will be hearing about new "OBINNA" one good thing about INTER is that they knows how to make use of young lads,it was thesame club that made Obafemi whom he is today.so Obinna be focused i wished you all the best

my dear verdict after watching all the TRANSFER drama that happened today i thought maybe you will write an article on it, to be honestly with you it is one the funniest drama i ever watched since i joined EPL. How finally Berbatov penned for united on four year deal and Robihno goes to man city instead of chelsea. I know it will be an interesting article when you handle it. we are expecting it ok,l cant open any window in my computer without typing the verdict i love you so much and am becoming so much addicted even more than the person that introduced me to it FOOTIE.
