Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

And I assume that Porro can't play for us in the champions league?

 

He can.

 

Hey Jude, you must be glad, you left a **** team for one that's better!

 

Nah he’ll be fine, European cup tie ruling got binned a few years back.

 

He looks very happy to be linking up with Joao Felix's missus, again!

 

It rolls over after the group stages now. So IIRC if you played qualifiers then moved you couldn’t play group stages, but if you move in January you’re fine for knockouts.

 

Breaking: Joao Felix’s loan at Chelsea has been cancelled.

 

2 players for 1 position is fine

 

Porro Watch
He's having his medical right now, according to Romano and churnalised by the BBC and Skyte Sports

So far there has been no confirmation whether or not we've locked him in the room with a trio of ex-Spetsnaz bouncers keeping a close eye on him, while everyone at the club is mindful of not answering phonecalls from a Lisbon area code

 

Utd trying to sign former Spurs target, Sabitzer. Late signing to cover the injured Eriksen.

 

Not when one of them is Emerson!

 

We seem to be well stacked with talented young strikers.
Parrott, Lankshear, Scarlett, Soonsup-Bell, Donley.

 

That’s not true. The release clause required cash up front. Paying in instalments always requires more money in the long run but is cheaper in practice. The equivalent is about Euro 50m so we are only worse off if Edwards gets sold quickly for 25m or more.

 

The alternative is playing them, which he also won't do.
It's stockpiling youth, but we don't seem to have any plan for them, so they stagnate.
There's no passageway into the first team, so what's the point?

 

Overcompensating for the years where we had approximately 47 box-to-box midfielders in the academy

 

It’s always a mistake to sign the players the manager wants unless he knows them well because he has managed them before

 

Edwards will comfortably go for over £30m.

We’ve been bent over, no two ways about it.

 

Yeah as I said it’s just so warped.

We’re doing to them what we done to KWP. I just don’t understand it to be honest.

 

It sounds like we used an intermediary because Paratici is ****ed.
They messed it up and Levy had to go in personally and get it done with little time left.
The whole thing's quite a clusterfuck and it makes you wonder what's going on with the Juve fallout.

 

Worth noting that even when up front release clauses are paid, most clubs will finance that somehow because most clubs don’t have 40m in cash lying about.
