Maybe, I hated football until I was in my 30's
But even so, it adds fuel to the rumours about him still disliking Spurs?
I don't even know why it annoys me so much, it's actually funny if he genuinely believed that...
I wonder if the structure of the Porro deal (i.e. paying up-front or spreading over term) will decide if we go for Zaniolo? That could explain the delay?
Value and Wage are factors for the Exemptions Panel as far as I understand it, so it makes sense the deal has to be sorted before appealing for the work permit
The 75% was dropped in 2015, it's 30 - 75% depending on the Fifa ranking of the player national association now. Regardless, he hasn't played for Brazil, but the Exemptions panel take into account player value, wage, experience in a 'top league' and participation in 'continental competitions)...
Just found the actual form for requesting the Governing Body Endorsement for the work permit if you're interested:

As already alluded to, player value, wages...
But the reason given was lack of Brazil caps?
sounds like national representation is still the key, though the appeals are a little more lenient:

Slightly concerned he was turned down for a work permit when trying to join Wolves last year, due to lack of caps for Brazil, which hasn't changed since then, so why would he get a work permit now?
