I assume this is a consequence of Brexit?
Does anyone know what leagues are of high enough level for the visa?
My understanding is that his loan would be within the EU before he turns 18 as he can move to another league within the EU before then, and when he's 18 the goal is that he'd come to us. As you say, playing in a better league would assist in increasing his chances of getting a visa on the first try.It’ll be 2025 when he turns 18.
At that point we’ll have to apply for a GBE (governing body endorsement) which uses a points based system now we’ve exited the EU. I would imagine we will have a good case seeing as he already has senior minutes for Split and has international minutes for Croatia youth teams. There are lots of triggers to gain the GBE, but I’m sure Levy and his team will put a good case forward.
A loan deal to a higher ranked European league will certainly assist with this process.
I'd try to get him into the BundesligaIMO it’s likely Dutch or French.

VfL Bochum played Bella-Kotchap when he was just 17 - and he did well.I don’t think a Bundesliga club is going to play a 16 year old at CB.

Most of my Team at work are mid thirties and complete Shit. Without knowing what I do he’s a better optionBut he was their player and they knew they'd benefit either sporting or financial long term. A team playing Vuskovic at this age will have to do it because he's better than their other options, and it's very unlikely he is at age 16.

Been thinking about this for years now, great idea and easy to say but finding the right league and club is the tricky bit.Maybe it’s time for us to become a multi club like others or perhaps a strategic partnership. Somewhere to loan our players and get them minutes.
Weren't we tentatively linked with a club last season at some stage?Maybe it’s time for us to become a multi club like others or perhaps a strategic partnership. Somewhere to loan our players and get them minutes.
Standard Liege wasn't it?Weren't we tentatively linked with a club last season at some stage?
I thought that at first and then thought that was the club ENIC had to sell their shares in once we qualified for the UEFA cup and so did Liege...Standard Liege wasn't it?
Was definitely the club we used to fuck United over for Zeki Fryers when old red nose blocked the move. No idea what the link is though.I thought that at first and then thought that was the club ENIC had to sell their shares in once we qualified for the UEFA cup and so did Liege...
