and I mean from the countries which 3years is all you need, belgium, poland, bulgaria and romania I think.

I'm at the point in the game where when I ask for a feeder club I get the option to choose which kind I want. I still don't have a work permit link so I chose that. Is there any significant benefit in choosing a team from the above mentioned countries? For some reason, my board never finds a belgian club only poland and bulgaria now

Belgian would be best as they are the highest reputation league with higher rep clubs so better players are more likely to go there on loan.

Sometimes you can sign a player, try and loan him out to a WP feeder and he'll refuse to go because he feels he is too good for the league or club. Then you are stuck with a player that you can't play and have to try and find another club to loan him to or sell him.

I'd put in order as Belgium, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania(not sure if Romania is one, but maybe it is).

If I am correct Romania might be 5 years.

In my current game I brought Cahais by accident and didnt realise he didnt have a work permit.

I was surpised when he joined my Polish feeder club even though I had never heard of them.

In FM08 a player without a work permit will go to any club to try and get one

But just a question, if they cannot play for you without a WP why are they then able to play for a Belgian club without one

Because "work permits" only apply to the UK.

But there's thousands of imigrants so they can't be being applied that well can they?

England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Eire and Iceland.

I disagree. If you can get one I would recommend a club in the Spanish 1st division. If you are trying to sign South Americans then the rules in Spain mean that your play will get his permit in 2 years instead of the normal 4 that would be required in Spain.

Very rare to hear of some one getting a Spanish feeder club(I've never heard of it). Simply having a Spanish "loan" feeder isn't enough, it has to be specifically a WP feeder for a transfer to go through with out a WP.

Or am I wrong? Anyone?

And, no, Daniel Foster , on FM 08, players won't go anywhere simply to get a WP, sometimes they even decide not to take EU nationality when the opportunity arises.
