Player Watch Player Watch: Pedro Porro

[Finchyid]

I wouldnt be surprised if we’ll see some late movement for Doherty tomorrow if we are willing to accept a reduced price

Apparently he is off on loan to Athletico Madrid

He's taking a drive down the Trippier highway. They love a Spurs fullback at Atletico.

Different this time in that Doherty is a wing back who signed for a manager playing fullbacks and now has a manager who plays wing backs. We keep the full back instead (who Atletico were linked with in the summer) and they take our wing back. It's all a bit odd although I do prefer to keep Emerson as Doherty has been poor.

Sky reporting we have given up Edwards’ sell on clause. How much has that taken off Porto’s price ? I don’t know what Edwards would cost in today’s market, but our percentage must be a fair chunk of cash.

Supposedly 15% of it we have given up.

Iirc we gave up 15% of it and still have 35%

Surely with the loan to buy deals we have been doing a lot lately the cash is put in a later date, hence why we maybe don't have the budget to chuck a load around. I don't know the details but didn't we have to pay for Kulu, Romero and also money put aside for Danjuma if we take up the option? Some of the budget has just been kicked down the road but you have to pay it as some point.

Yep, all true. But then that would mean that earlier windows had a lower spend (e.g. Deki/Romero) which is why I don't get that feeling of the money flowing. However, it's just a feeling and without seeing the latest accounts - and somebody like Swiss Ramble translating into pleb talk - I'm certainly not judging.

@Timberwolf has a very good point about player sales - another item for the Summer to-do list. I guess all those players out on loan are still hitting the balance sheet through amortisation. Rings true with some of Conte's early comments about having to work around our past mistakes before truly pushing on.

But it will be great to see Porro holding up the shirt. Interesting to see if we get the full details of the actual deal, then fingers crossed for some good news by midnight!

They also reported we have no forward options and pedro porro is defensive. We've given up 15 of the 50%

Seven year contracts , UEFA shutting down that little ploy from the summer transfer widow .

UEFA, the paragon of virtue in this murky world of football! ?

 

[mattspur1986]

So do the board get any praise now for backing Conte and delivering the best available right back? Or do you only remember the anger because you followed the click bait on/off articles on twitter like a bunch of teenagers on their first period? ?

no, because backing the manager should be a given for any club (unless shown hes not capable).

Reggy on the left Doherty on the right...haha

[JR1994]

There's absolutely no way that a club with as much money as we've been pulling in, has a budget that small.
Bournemouth just offered pretty much that for Zaniolo!

We’ve spent less than 8m..

 

[McFlash]

We’ve spent less than 8m..

So far...?

 

[teok]

 

[kieranfitchett]

how much money invested in players do we currently have out on loan? 200m?

 

[snakehipsspurs]

Now thinking this loan and us effectively moving the cash around is to avoid drawing down that extra £50mil from the summer and not diluting the shares further. Makes sense if a takeover discussion is happening, means the financial picture isn’t changing during chats.

Edit: immediately proved wrong haha

"Here I am, stuck in the middle with you"

That AI pic of Levy, I can picture Antonio listening to K-Billy's Super Sounds of the 70s and going to work on Levy with a razor. It's what being surrounded by clowns and jokers can do to a man.

UEFA have tried to level out the financial spending of clubs , they did try to ban Man C from CL but couldn't come up with enough evidence .

 

[Japhet]

Now that Porro is pretty much nailed on, it would be nice to know who Conte's number 1 choice was seeing as it allegedly wasn't PP.
