Could Pedro Porro be a long-term replacement for Walker?

Madrid sold morata to Juventus for 20million. 2 years later after his stock had risen they triggered they're buy back for 30million, kept him for one season then sold to Chelsea for 66 million
 
I think Porro has come to everyone's attention too quickly, he'll go somewhere they need a starting RB now.

But Jeremie Frimpong is developing very nicely at Leverkusen as an attacking RB/RWB and sometime RW and would offer perfect balance in a pairing with Rico. Plus because Frimpong is absolutely rapid and could play as a direct RW on occasion, you could probably keep him, Rico and Walker all happy for a year or 18months while Walker is still good enough.

Not to mention he's club trained and a lifelong City fan.

It was more the fact we had an option on Angelino with PSV for £7m and only moved because they were getting interest from PSG.

12 months later a sale of £20m certainly suggests the option clauses are worth their weight in gold.

I see, but that situation is still different to what is being asked. Had Angelino been good enough he'd still be here. The question is, would it be possible to buy Porro back and then resell him instantly, effectively acting only as a dealer?

As long as we held his registration, then yes.

Bolton did that with us re that prick Didi Hamman.

They bought him on the Tuesday for £200k and sold him on the Thursday to us for £400k!
 
Is this true?!

Hierarchy at #SportingCP are worried that if Pedro Porro's form continues, #ManCity will utilise a buy-back clause of €20m

Officials at the club fear City could either take him back to use, or sell him for almost double the price - #Spurs & #RealMadrid remain interested

Now if it is and we don’t take this option we are pretty stupid!
 
It would be a similar situation to when we fetched Angelino back and I am not sure Porro has enough quality to nail down a place either.

City released him and took him back again on the recommendation of a scout who had a son in the under 18's, so it would be his 3rd time with us.
Very quick and surprisingly strong for his size, not for me though, not a great passer and he gets caught out defensively a lot.

We have known about Spurs and Madrid for a while.

Even though we are entitled to a cut, I'd be shocked if we didn't take him back if the difference was another £15m to us at some stage.

Never been really impressed by him as someone good enough for us, but business is business and Sporting got him at a discount for a reason.

Think we did a similar deal for Geronimo Rulli when he was at Sociedad?
