Re: [nas] Eddie J and PSV

But we know the second part of this is wrong, with respect to PSV.  It is quite 
easy to get a work permit in Holland.  As long as they pay you above a certain 
figure (about 400k Euros, IIRC), it's done.

I tended to think of the ManU thing as training, which EJ has done every year, 
and which was scheduled before his current form.  PSV, however, is a recent 
addition, and I tend to think of it as something of a trial, though the lines 
on this can be blurry.  Not that it means I'm necessarily scared we'll lose 
him--Dempsey's visit to Feyenoord was definitely a trial, and the league still 
kept him.

It is only a training session.  At least that is what is being claimed 
in the latest Dallas Morning News:

  Johnson, 20, is underway with a two-week spell at Manchester United. 
 From there, it's on to PSV, which already employs fast-rising American 
winger DaMarcus Beasley. The Dutch Eredivisie leader also is close to 
securing a spot in Champions League knockout stages.

  These training spells aren't official tryouts; obtaining a work permit 
would be unlikely for now.
