I thought that was what @Archibald&Crooks was laughing about earlier as it was straight after a doom and gloom post re Porro, but decided to keep schtum.Be honest, how much fun did you have watching us
It's better to be 2 short than 3 shortThe problem is now, IF we manage to get the deal over the line, fans will be that relieved that we managed to bring him in that we will forget everything else briefly and see the window as a success. Even IF we manage to bring him in, we are still 2 short of what we needed to do in Jan.
Yeah, we can all debate the reasons, and it could be one, or one of many. Plenty of time for a post mortem after the window shutsIt’s good that he didn’t get involved until needed but it would still have been his strict financial parameter instructions at the start which meant that this dragged on for weeks when it could have been done much earlier, right?

Bale to Madrid?Right, what thread do we set camp up in now ?
He re-posted his article saying it was off and then Fab posted it was agreed 5 minutes laterHe’s not? He said it’s done
Sorry I didn't mean that his name has all of a sudden only now popped up out of nowhere as I know you've mentioned him several times. I meant that only in the last day or so of the window have I heard anything about us trying for him in Jan instead of the Summer and instead of those links just coming out to appease fans saying we tried to complete a late deal for him, the club apparently genuinely believe there is a deal there to be done.I've been posting about our interest since last April/May, and I've been hearing and posting his name consistently since. It's never been last minute gossip. Whether it gets done is another story though.
Trix and Daniel sitting in a tree....credit where it is due mate, I don't think he's played this one wrong at all. He's stayed out of it(like we've all been asking) and when it's looked like it's gone, he's come in and got it done. Does this mean I've changed my mind on him? No, but for whatever reason people want to believe, he's not fucked about when he's been required to get it over the line.
For those who still dont understand why Porro is a big catch....
Porro rinsing Perisic & our defenders time &again....Heres Porro vs Tottenham at Lane (1-1).
Porro vs Tottenham at Sporting (2-0 sporting win). More defensive display. Sublime ball control at 2 minutes and shot of his left foot.
Mate I’m just completely delighted we’ve got Porro over the line. Massive credit for Levy for doing so. I also think Levy really needed to get this completed and knew if he didn’t he’d be under huge pressure. So in that sense, massive credit also to our brilliant supporters who’ve brought that pressure to bear by making their voices heard. Never really understood why you feel the need to ridicule them and me for wanting to hold Levy to account? But anyway, awesome news about Porro. I couldn’t be more delighted that Levy’s got the job done. And as Trix has said, that support for Conte needs to be consistent and on-going moving forward now.Yeah.
