In real life, is there some kind of special system specifically for football or something?
I've always been curious about this. Eg. I work for a software company, and we've plenty of programmers working for us from outside Europe. I don't know the details I'm fairly sure they didn't have to undergo a programming test to prove they were good enough for a work permit - if the company wants to hire them then that's proof enough. I'd have thought it should be the same for a footballer or any other career.

They can't "lower" the standards as it's supposed to represent real-life.
From the Home Office:
To be eligible for a work permit:
* a player must have played for his country in at least 75% of its competitive 'A' team matches he was available for selection, during the two years preceding the date of the application; and
* the player's country must be at or above 70th place in the official FIFA world rankings when averaged over the two years preceding the date of the application.
I suspect that he needs 1-2 more caps before you can sign him. It took my Japanese winger 11 caps, for example.

If he is a good player i just sign him and then loan him out to some good club. I dont use my WP feeders because i noticed that loaning players to a non running league seriously decreases his CA. After two years in some spanish or french club he is usually good enough to get a WP. If that doesnt work and he is near the end of his contract just sell him for a nice profit.
