    We need to get that French striker signed up PDQ - before Brexit and before West Ham!

    It assumes of course that the criteria for getting a work permit will be the same after brexit. Presumably it could be relaxed.

    I'm assuming there'll no more Bosman type deals within the UK.

    I don't see how that would work.
    At the end of the contract surely UK law will be the same.

    He 's Argentinian so does that mean that he would need a work permit in any event?

    The Bosman Rule is a EU Law. I'm assuming it would become void in a non EU country.

    I think all the laws get ported across. They can be repealed then but I can't see why the same legal challenge that originally applied wouldn't apply again.

    They pay plenty of tax so I'm sure it all be sorted out.

    Foreigners played in the UK before we joined the Common Market so I doubt there’d be a problem.

    Hardly any though.

    Not saying it's a problem, just it could be different

    They could use Brexit to make it non-automatic that a EU based player gets a work permit. Currently all EU players can come over (and South Africans cricketers with EU passports, hence the recent glut of Kolpaks in cricket).
