No, the Wesley rumour mill to us has been dotting about through various agents, news outlets, but it's just picked up lately, every day is working days for football clubs. It's just now Porto don't know whether it's smokescreen or genuine interest, and with them having Hector Herrera lined up for 9 million they realise that as JM is insistent to work with AVB again, they don't have many options.
That clearer mate?
Tbf, he has had about the same impact as Diaby the last few years. Might even be on a lower wage.M'villa has been brilliant for Arsenal in the centre of the park.
Thanks for your info and responses, I know you're just the messenger and feeding off info given to you but I'm very sceptical. Ok, I understand turning down Zenit and even PSG due to the fact that they have a million midfielders already. If Chelsea were interested though I think he'd go for it. They can offer him so much more than we can and even if it weren't money related they would offer him first team football as he'd be perfect alongside Ramires in the centre.
All I can say is that he really must love AVB......a lot.
But nonetheless, thanks for the info.
Haven't there been reports that Herrera now isn't as done as most thought with Man United jumping in and prepared to up the bid? I thought that made the most sense looking at why Moutinho would be on his way out as they found his heir apparent, but if Man United jack the bid and take Herrera, would that force Porto's hand into keeping him or would they be comfortable with Defour in Moutinho's role?
Here's something I don't know whether to find hilarious or ****ish.
Chelsea are still using AVB's scouting reports he compiled for transfer targets from November to January.
Anybody else finding this latest Moutinho stuff just as hard to believe as the Sneijder guff?
Yeah I don't know a whole lot about their finances. They could be like Udinese, really depending on player sales to balance the budget, but I'd be surprised if they needed to sell Moutinho in Jan or in the summer even.Porto made a few sales last year that equate to almost 70m of cash in-hand. They spent about 10m of that on Jackson Martinez and a couple of other players. I have a really hard time thinking that they need money from Moutinho to do anything unless they have financial issues. Also, the sale of Moutinho should hold no weight on if they get Herrera. They've made about as much money on sales over the past year as anyone. I want to believe, but it's in the best interest of my still-mending heart to be at least somewhat skeptical.

I think it's probably more along of the lines of they have a player who knows he is wanted, probably isnt fully focused on Porto and wants to work wit avb, rather than it being they need to sell him for financial reasons.
Am I the only one that would prefer sneijder to moutinho? I would expect both to be at the top of our wage structure but sneijder to be had for a lower transfer fee. Sneijder + a young winger for me, please
