Player Watch Player Watch: Pedro Porro

[double0]

I know nothing about the 2.6 fee, just going by what all the reports I see say, that fee was agreed and sporting now asking for more to cover this fee. To me that makes it sound like sporting need to pay it.

A lease loan or borrowed money to cover the cost of Porro is taken out by Tottenham not Sporting. The resulting interest / fees on that money seems to be the issue Sporting are unwilling to pay it.

People quickly blamed Sporting but I questioned this.

I really hope Porro doesn't end up at City come Tuesday evening, this would prove how shabby our club is at buisness and it's dealings. We chase a guy for a month, slowly upping the money on offer and when we finially get to what they want (took more than three weeks seemingly, even though the world and his mother knew the release clause was in place) City waltz in and get it done in a day.

Looking back at some of the comments in this thread so far, sounds like we may or may not have a chance, still.
Why is nothing ever simple regarding Spurs?

Click the “aA” if you’re on phone and “Show Reader” - you’re welcome.

this is what i usually do, but the Q&A is an embedded third party client that doesn’t show up in the reader (unless i’ve just not been able to figure it out)

Daniel Levy gets chanted to get out of the club……. few days later he’s needed to save a transfer. ?not that I’m cynical.

HE IS THROWING SKYWALK VOUCHERS AT ANYONE THAT BAH GAWD MOVES

You're guessing what the 2.6m fee is for (if its even true) whereas every credible media source has said sporting changed the terms

Even if he comes in and saves the deal, he's the person who oversaw this entire shambles so that won't save him in my eyes

What happened to the good old days when a night out with the chairman laying on hooker's and Charlie would solve these sort of disputes?

Are you available to go to Lisbon

 

[Lifelong]

If anything, it gives him the chance of coming off as the hero - what a lucky co-incidence.

 

[double0]

The idea that levy wasn't across a 50m deal is laughable

Exactly.

The structures implemented at the club surely comes from the owners...anyone thinking differently well what can you say to them.

Levy is the head Chairman majority share holder with Mr Lewis. He ultimately runs the club and signs the orders.

 

[bombarda]

Too much to catch up on, but if Cancelo is leaving City it gives Sporting more reason to get this finalised asap, as they won't want to risk City coming in and picking him back up for a third of what we're paying.

It’s just so frustrating as we do really need a decent option if we’re going to continue playing wing backs.

We also spent 20 million on Spence in summer, which was very protracted and not even using him.

That 20 million could have gone towards Porro, I know hindsight and all that but it’s just baffling we pushed for Spence in summer so hard and he isn’t being used meaning we’ve had to then go for Porro this January.

[Stamford]

nah im more confident he closes it. he knows the backlash is there

For me this sums up the problem. We should be closing deals for on the pitch matters not for any potential backlash on levy or ownership. Still confident it gets done but hate how we move as a club

 

[Flobadob]

What?

DOES HE LOOK LIKE A BITCH?!

 

[bbunc]

Maybe Romano can get Turkish Airways to pony up the 2.6M to keep their reputation as the “Here We Go” sponsor.

The worse thing though is when you dare to question things...all hell breaks loose and you get drown out by the trollers.

My understanding is that we pay in installments as is usual, and sporting want to sell those instalments on to get the full amount now so nothing to do with us but they want us to pay their costs to do that.
Their argument presumably being they wouldn't have to do that if we paid in full and our response presumably that they don't have to do it at all.
