Player Watch Player Watch: Pedro Porro

[chrisd2k]

The flip side is that Deki really is at his best when playing out wide. The last few games Royal has been making more inside runs, to good effect, while Deki plays wider.

With Porro, he looks capable of making either the overlap or inside runs - so hopefully he and Deki can work well together.

What makes you think Deki is at his best out wide?

 

[Cavehillspur]

Lo Celso was the best I reckon.

Holtby lol

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Think my point wasnt clear, mate.

What I am trying to say is that despite TAA, Zinchenko and Cancelo operating as FBs, they are not renown for their defensive abilities. They are actually quite average in this regard and defensive positioning is something that has let all of them down.

However, they defend on the front foot, so if we changed to a coach who uses a back 4, then it wont be an issue if he plays on the front foot.

Like Reguillon at Sevilla, in a back 4. He was aggressive and not the greatest defensively but it got the best out of him offensively.

If we got in a defensive coach who uses a back 4 then of course, youd see his weaknesses much more and we'd suffer.

I think Porro has those qualities that allow him to defend on the front foot and in 1v1s. Like when we had Rose and Walker.

Ah sorry mate then yes completely agree with this.

Holtby lol

Also came with some airport ITK, seem to remember someone saying they bumped into Huntelaar in an airport or on the plane and he confirmed Holtby would be joining ?

Cheers bellend!

Ok, I don't get this. Bellerin (a la masia graduate) is happy to leave Barcelona in an instant. But it's seemingly impossible to get a player like Emerson or Doherty to leave.

It's the pillows

Are we actively trying to sell either of them? I know people want them gone, but looks like Spence is the one actually going out, Emerson RWB back up, with Doherty in the squad as at a pinch he can cover both sides if we have an injury crisis either side?

I reckon our terms put alooot of clubs off taking those players off a us.

I think that Doherty is Harry's caddy.

Hes played 3 games all season in La Liga and been available for all but 3. He may just want to play more football.

Bellerin is on £8k a week and never gets a game.

Partly. We’ve made it too nice for our players. It really is no surprise they don’t want to leave.

 

[kd2000]

Yeah but what do we do when that three minutes is up?
Still bored, just a bit sleepier! ?

3 minutes?
That with a cuddle afterwards? ?

Alasdair Gold said early in the window neither player really wanted to leave. There had been a couple offers for Emerson apparently but the player wasn't interested.

Ffs. Emerson has 3.5 years left on his contract. Ffs.

JUST IN: Pedro Porro to #thfc is at risk!

After reaching a verbal agreement on Saturday, last night, there has been a disagreement.

Sporting CP are now demanding the release clause to be paid, Spurs are refusing to pay it. | @Record_Portugal

youve got to be fucking kidding
