Player Watch Player Watch: Pedro Porro

[Japhet]

Bissouma should have been good straight away but instead he spent month's learning the Conte 'system' and is now a pale shadow of the player he was at Brighton.

Seems utterly bizarre to me that we were crying out for a player just like Bissouma to make up for the lack of pressing up front, then when we got him Conte decided to play him as a holding midfielder when he is essentially an 8. To compound that he then decides to play Skipp (who is first and foremost a 6) as a wide right midfielder. This is like buying an Airfix model of a Spitfire and trying to make it into a submarine. I'd like us to get Porro though because he really should be a good fit straight off the bat.

In a world of crazy transfer fees, Porro has a relatively cheap release clause. Unless they are looking to haggle every penny this should be a simple deal.

My only issue with this signing is that his name sounds like one of those cringey scouse nicknames that the Liverpool fans give their players.

Hendo -Henderson
Robbo - Robertson
Porro - Porridgeson

It's probably trying to find a way not to pay the full £40m in one go.

any insights about whether this guy can defend/physically take to the PL?

Well look on the bright side I knew a boy at school who was nicknamed "Urine" because his name was Paul Poulter.

Cheers mate, just read it in a Scouse accent and now if he signs i won't be able to say his name unless it is in broad Scouse... hope you are happy with yourself.

I suspect that they’ll be trying to renegotiate the sell on for Edwards we’ll drop £5-10m if you reduce sell on by x%

my nickname was Chadwick or Chadders in reference to breaking a window with a ball on my first day and they didn't think i deserved 'Becks'.

Also works in Strine. It's exactly the same as we Aussies do.

Never really understand this opinion that the PL is at such a high level versus any other foreign domestic league.
