Could Pedro Porro be a long-term replacement for Walker?
- Thread starter PepGuardiola
- Start date
It's indeed a good piece of business but as some others have mentioned, I'm not sure why we're not interested in bringing him back. Walker is on the back end of his career and Rico just starting his. He could potentially be a great stop-gap or better.Looks like spurs paying 40m for him we have apparently a 30% sell on clause.. Nice…

My thoughts exactly... )(It’s sporting we are in the process of becoming partners with in some way? Maybe buying Porro for the sake of it is not the business we want to do with them when there is so much that may happen in the future.

We mustn’t rate him because we could of got him for 20m

Spend £17m on buying him when we don't currently need him, or make around £12m through our sell on clause. No brainer to not buy him really. Walker's got at least one more season in him and we still have Rico, Cancelo, Akanji and Sir John who can fill in at RB.

I wonder what Levy thinks about this deal ...

Since he'd be the one signing off on it, I'd presume he's happy. Unless I've missed the joke?I wonder what Levy thinks about this deal ...

I can't think of many occasions if one at all, when we have been left disappointed by our club not buying someone or releasing a player. I trust in our system and the people running it, why buy a stop-gap player, when we still have England's first choice right-back, and a young rising star of the future. I wouldn't want to stunt Rico's progress with this signing.

The idea of him having to boost our coffers was more where I was thinking his pain would come from.Since he'd be the one signing off on it, I'd presume he's happy. Unless I've missed the joke?
