January fixtures:
Palace (A)
Portsmouth (H)
Arsenal (H)
Man City (A)
Fulham (A)
If we wait until the end of the window to see if we can shave a few quid off the transfer fee - our new signing (Porro or anyone else) misses all of these fixtures at a minimum plus all of the settling in period they'll inevitably have. Remember, last season's title race was decided by a single goal in the 81st minute on the final day - there are fine margins in this league...
If Porro truly is the number one target, we should have had the deal wrapped up in principle during the World Cup, triggered the deal on Jan 1st and paraded him around the stadium at half-time during the Villa game before coming off the bench against Palace, starting against Pompey in the cup and then hopefully being ready for the NLD. As it is - we're likely to go into all of these fixtures plus probably some of February too with Royal and Doherty. Great...
