Player Watch Player Watch: Pedro Porro

[Whazam]

What the actual f*? I can understand Sporting playing hard ball for a month to get the most out of this transfer, and wasting our time a bit, but why the heck would they waste their own time for that long just to flip us off?

 

[Harrier]

Could just be postering from Sporting maybe?

 

[fb9]

That's a seriously huge blow. Gutted

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

Not our fault again. All these clubs that are difficult to deal with!

 

[leray]

Also: Ornstein must love breaking stories that a transfer to us is OFF. Dybala in 2019, now this.

 

[Mr Pink]

They probably got fed up with the exhausting haggling from Levy.

 

[RobjDerby]

Heard nothing my end but if true I'm done with this club!

Just brilliant news to start the day!!!!!

**** off!!!!!!

30 days of dicking about with Sporting, yeah let him play in their final too. Absolute bell ends at our club. Embarrassing

 

[Wig]

That’s all she wrote folks. Things are about to reach new levels of toxic.

Wow. If true, that's brinkmanship that Levy would be proud of

 

[A Bit Much]

This can't be good for porro either who must have been set on leaving. Hopefully sporting can come to their bloody senses...

 

[cider spurs]

I'm gonna keep the faith that this still gets done.

 

[Impspur1]

Oh wow…..:levels of sadness inbound

 

[Trix]

Heard nothing my end but if true I'm done with this club!

Just brilliant news to start the day!!!!!

**** off!!!!!!

Why? Hardly our fault if, and it's a big if, it's true. These journalists have proved over and over they don't know what is going on with this one, so I'm not overly worried just yet.

 

[wiggo24]

Honestly if we’re serious about this we should have just paid the release clause.

Spent a month pissing about, let him play in a final and now Sporting have had time to change their minds.

It’s unfortunate but it’s also just not ruthless enough from us.

 

[wspur]

ah the "moving the goalposts" excuse again. This is not happening

aham, so my and others fears were on point it seems

 

[Montalbano]

How can a move for a player with a release clause be “off” before the window close when he is willing to sign?

 

[kieranfitchett]

Add him to the Leandro Damiao, Joao Moutinho, Milan Skriniar, Paulo Dybala, Alessandro Bastoni pile

 

[TommyGee]

Assume what they had planned as his replacement fell through and they now require more upfront cash to fund an alternate. Sucks.

 

[Chello90]

If we didn't fuck about and wait almost 4 weeks to get serious with negotiations we wouldn't be in a position where Sporting can bend us over a barrel.

 

[ukdy]

1. If we were able/willing to pay the release clause it would have been done by now.
2. It could be Sporting trying to out-Levy, Levy.
3. Will wait for some ITK, but Ornstein wouldn’t publish this without substance.
4. Fuck

 

[thelak]

It does look like Sporting have caused this tbf

Levy = Boy that cried wolf though
