I've followed MLS a bit, so know the guy. Fire fans rate him highly, but I think their manager doesn't. He's done well for them. Plays in midfield, usually on the right hand side, but can drift in central.

I think he's only played less than 20 games for them, maybe scored about 3 goals. I don't know how he'd get a work permit, he's only young.

Odd rumour. They're are much better players in MLS available. Forest need to scout it more.

How to quash a rumour immediately - A foreign player to obtain a work permit must have played seventy five percent of the international matches in a two year margin to be eligible to play in the UK. As Marco Pappa is only started his International career in 2008, he wouldn't receive the work permit. Also the FA normally require the player to have represented an international side in the top 70 ( Guatemala is 102), so again it's doubtful he would receive the clearance required.

Not necessarily true. That's the original process, but the appeal is in place in order to recognise promising players. Whether he is or not I don't know.

Isn't it now if the club can prove that the player will offer something to the English game that an English (or EU) Player can't?

Yes, a club can request a panel to review the players case, but the criteria is usually a minimum standard required to qualify for a work permit. So unless it's an exceptional circumstance such as injury prohibiting the player from obtaining the minimum requirements, the rules are strictly adhered to by the panel. There are numerous cases of players that have fallen short of this criteria and the transfer fallen through at the last minute. A good example was Bobby Convey's transfer to Tottenham which fell through after the player lacked sufficient number of appearances for the US team. Although after a year the player had obtained the minimum amount of caps and a transfer was negoiated between the MLS and Reading FC.

Thanks for clarifying, and you are right, but It does fairly often happen that appeals are succesful when players don't fit those criteria.

watched him play (on TV) last week against Toronto (where I live) he was pretty anonymous and was substituted just after half time - chicago won 2-0 but although he took a couple of free kicks he did little else - he was up against Jim Brennan who had a good game - I would be surprised if we were interested (on this one performance at least )

I only actually noticed he played because his real name is Marco Pappa Ponce??!!

Do you get down to any Toronto games? They always look lively on telly.

Yeah, Pappa didn't do much in that game. I'd rather we went for somone like Wilman Conde, Bakary Soumare or Chris Rolfe who all play for Chicago. Conde and Soumare are class centre backs, Rolfe is someone who can play behind the strikers.

Not sure where this Pappa rumour came from. Odd!
