Player Watch Player Watch: Pedro Porro

[Barmby Army]

If Sporting have changed the terms at the last minute, you can't blame Levy. He has many faults, but I absolutely guarantee we would be in a worse position long-term if we had a chairman who just accepted other clubs moving the goalposts and paid the ransom.

When Levy has pulled this stunt himself in the past, he has rightly been criticised. When another club has done it to him, how you can put the blame at his door?

Gary Jacob saying its collapsed over 2.6 million in admin fees which Sportimg wanted Spurs to cover. If that’s true that’s a new low….

 

[chas vs dave]

If true, £2.6m shit or bust. As long as we play nicely, i still believe this'll get done.

It sounds less like a renege, and more like an element that was missed off the deal. Which makes you wonder how it has been missed by the intermediaries.

We are talking 5% difference. Surely, that can be resolved.

Conte surely can’t stand for something like that. He’d have to walk …

 

[Yapptiestrap]

Sounds about right:

They will report record profits after the window is closed by the way.

 

[Yid-ol]

it'll be the cost of taking a piece of paper from one side of the negotiating table to the other. you know how these things add up.

I would gladly cover my own costs to fly there and do this for just 2.4 million.

Probably paid more for the loan fee for Danjuma. Sums Levy up all over, happy to waste money on a back up player we may not keep for more than 6 months but walks away from a key upgrade to our starting lineup in a vital position for our managers set up.

 

[Finchyid]

How the he'll does fans still defend Levy its beyond me. That's why he will never leave because us fans are to soft and forgiving.

I am not defending Levy but I am not blaming him..All through this window I have no evidence to suggest anyone other the people in the room have the true facts. Reading twitter today is like chinese whispers

All just seems about ‘’getting a deal’’ rather than strategical building a squad that can execute a managers plans. Business savvy but football dumb. But surely even Levy can see this would be a fuck up of huge proportions.

 

[Stamford]

Even we aren't stupid enough to lose a player in an important position for 2.6m

If our only dealings are Danjuma in, Gil out, the window is a 1.

Fail to strengthen the bench with attacking options.

Fail to strengthen at CB which is a huge priority.

Fail to strengthen at RWB which is arguably our weakest position.

I don't care if it's Sporting who have moved the goalposts here, once again we are running around with under 48 hours to go with a squad way short of the standard needed.

I'm sick of it tbh, just want Levy gone now because we clearly have no plan with what we are doing!

Tbh even if Porro still comes i don't think it was a good window if our only other business was Gil out and Danjuma in.

 

[spurs mental]

Conte surely can’t stand for something like that. He’d have to walk …

It sounds to me like you'd actually like him to walk so it makes things worse for the club, not just Levy.

 

[Capocrimini]

If it is over £2.6m surely it will get sorted by the end of the window? Here I was hoping we sign a CB as well as Porro but now I'm worried we'll just have Danjuma in and Gil out ?.

Pissing about for a whole month too and you leave no time to get someone else in. Its a shitshow every time.

 

[Yapptiestrap]

Highest ticket price in the UK btw

Europe*

Give it 5/10 if Porro is done, two good players in but key CB roles left open.

No defensive (whether you categorise RWB or not) reinforcements will simply be unforgivable.

 

[eddiev14]

Oh wow. If true that absolutely reeks of Levy ?

We should get it done. Expect the price of a pint to go up by 5p this weekend to cover it.

 

[AngryBob]

Levy is getting Levy'd.

Squabbling over a couple of mil, childish. It will cost us more than that come to the end of the season when we finish 8th, I'm sure its all paper talk and will go through but you never know, been here before so wouldn't be surprised, angry but not surprised.
