It's not the end of the world. Sure it would have been nice, and given how late we left it and losing our heart, would and brain of the side in two months ( VDV, King and Modric ) I was on the verge of staffing had we signed Joao, even though at the start of the window I was apprehensive.
Banega is another option. Spanish clubs are looking to trim their wage bills lately. All depends on how he comes back. How about we stay with Porto and have a little look at Defour? He hasn't set the world alight at Porto but I for one have always thought he was a talented player. Of course it means dealing with them again so would mean more Levy v their chairman in rich mans bluff calling round 2. Also having Mousa and Jan here would help him slot in nice.
Banega was someone I mentioned last summer when it was reported he was available for about £8m, very good player but lets see how he comes back from his nasty leg break.
There are alternatives out there, lets hope we get someone suitable to replace Modric in January
