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 .

Wasn't that because City refused to co-operate with the investigation?

Funny how the word 'almost' gives him a complete out if this isn't the case.

I can ALMOST certainly guarantee you that if our plan works out today, Porro wouldn't be our last senior signing.

Let's see ??
Hope your right but I think that's us now not even a whisper of any bids going in and 11.30am. Hope I'm wrong but I seen the same pattern every window.

Yes something like that , it then went to CAS so I assume UEFA couldn't produce enough evidence to convince CAS not to overturn the ban. The Juventus ban could go the same way in the end , though as yet UEFA not involved in banning anybody.

It doesn't really matter how a deal is structured as long as we get it done. The main thing is in Porro we get a first team player. We signed 3 last year (Kulusevski, Bentancur and Perisic) and probably need another 3 in the summer (GK, LCB, CCB). January is a great time to get 1 important player so we have less required in summer. Maybe even just 2 more first team players could still be enough with a couple of squad additions. It's coming together nicely to be fair.

Knowing our recruitment generally tends to be shit i’m drawing hope from Bentancur and Kulusevski that this dude will be decent. Am a bit wary at the minute of players desperate to sign for us. Seems a bit weird seeing we’ve been a bit of a mess both on and off the pitch.

You fixed it, but it looked like you had a spasm at the start of that sentence originally haha

I'm sure a wage hike, and playing in the best league in Europe goes some way to entice players.

I doubt we look that bad from the outside looking in. I mean we're firmly challenging top 4 and in 2 cups including the CL. I don't think players see us in the same light as some of our fans do (who focus more on the negatives). I'm sure he's looking forward to play under Conte and a far better league. He probably wants to prove himself here after it didn't work out at City too.

Hope no potential incomings cast a beady eye over this thread yesterday morning. :LOL:

If you're a specialist right wing back wanting to play at the business end of the PL, realistically how many starting spots are there? 3 or 4? Not many, as Porro already found out once, and they're all occupied. Of course he wants to come here, even if we can be a shit show.
