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.

Robbo - Robertson

Levynomics.It's probably trying to find a way not to pay the full £40m in one go.
Some players don't seem to adapt to it physically - e.g. GilNever really understand this opinion that the PL is at such a high level versus any other foreign domestic league.
To be fair he did also play Eriksen in a deeper role and it did work after a while. He also famously used Moses as a wingback. I think it would be fairer to judge after a while, Bissouma has barely played and had chance to learn the role.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.
Have you not heard of Daniel Levy before?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.
Seriously, how many clubs will pay the full amount in one go?Levynomics.
Unless we suddenly hit form, the NLD will do that.Sorry, that’s incorrect. We’re 13 points apart because their team is already playing better than we are. Signing this guy (regardless of the price) only makes the likelihood of them widening the gap bigger.
Pees do.The other kids taking the piss? I'll see myself out.

Think that’s the rules generally with release clauses…..Seriously, how many clubs will pay the full amount in one go?
It is, but of course can be worked around. Can negotiate that with the club or it can be done through a 3rd party for instance.Think that’s the rules generally with release clauses…..
If they want the player and the selling club sticks to it's guns they all will. It justs means arranging financing for the amount from another source on terms similar to the usual structure.
It's what Arsenal did with Partey.
They’ll still negotiate the fee over instalmentsThink that’s the rules generally with release clauses…..
It is but look at the Chelsea deal for Fernandez as just one way to get around that. According to Athletic Chelsea are paying 6m over the release clause so they can pay in installments. Just one way to get around all up front.It is, but of course can be worked around. Can negotiate that with the club or it can be done through a 3rd party for instance.
So the same as paying through a 3rd party lender then.It is but look at the Chelsea deal for Fernandez as just one way to get around that. According to Athletic Chelsea are paying 6m over the release clause so they can pay in installments. Just one way to get around all up front.
Yep absolutely as paying over the release clause amount is same as paying interest to 3rd party lender. Good few different ways of getting around it if a club wants a player enough.So the same as paying through a 3rd party lender then.
What - they paid £40m in one lump sum?
I find it hard to believe that other than maybe city, Newcastle and chelsea in the PL not many clubs would pay or be able to pay all upfront.

Problem is Levy will want his cake and to eat it. Low fee and little up front.Yep absolutely as paying over the release clause amount is same as paying interest to 3rd party lender. Good few different ways of getting around it if a club wants a player enough.
