Fair enough and I get that, which backs up my point that clubs will always look to spread payments (however they can).They paid £45m I think, as Trix just said 3rd party lender, they pay them in installments as opposed to paying the club.

Don't doubt it mate but let's see what happens with this one. ITKs seem optimistic that deal is still on so hopefully some good news soonProblem is Levy will want his cake and to eat it. Low fee and little up front.
The wonderful world of smoke and mirrors….. I’m sure FP/DL can navigate through to sort ??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 should we believe nowQuick note on the Marcus Edwards story as we haven’t got a thread for him, that report initially came from A Bola, which has a very pro-Benfica, anti-Sporting agenda. Wouldn’t believe anything out of Portugal regarding Sporting(‘s good) players until it’s in Record.
So should we believe now
I'm guessing that fee would include the 50%, so rather than paying ~50m for Edwards we'd get him for 25-30m.Porro is 45m that makes Edwards 30m if true. that means he costs 15m surely ?
Fuck sake, told there is truth in both
My fear too.The main thing for me is knowing how Conte feels about this! Last thing we need is Edwards and Spence both sitting on the bench and never playing.
We do seem to like these kinds of deals and this would be fairly reminiscent of the Juve double deal last Jan.Fuck sake, told there is truth in both
As before, I know he was happy with Porro, but Edwards????We do seem to like these kinds of deals and this would be fairly reminiscent of the Juve double deal last Jan.
We find a club where we have some leverage and then try to get a bit of a bargain by combining 2 signings into one so we can shave a bit off various clauses etc.
These two seem far less like 'Conte' signings, though. The potential ceiling is high, but neither player is the finished article.
No it's both good and bad news imo.Good news surely, both better than what we have.
I'd take the Edwards one being true if it means the Porro one is true!Fuck sake, told there is truth in both
Yeah bit of an odd one.As before, I know he was happy with Porro, but Edwards????
No it's both good and bad news imo.
Until future windows when we can't buy until we sell our deadwood players the managers won't play.I'd take the Edwards one being true if it means the Porro one is true!
