alera said:I can't see it happening now even if all parties agreed last night it would be virtually impossible to get it done today given the the major players in the deal are in Portugal. What is it 3 hour flight ?
If Porto are flapping panic whoring the players around other big clubs trying to get an extra few million its going to be dead in the water. These big deals are so difficult to pull off even with plenty of time, no room to piss around with only a few hours left.

I said Porto are pissing around trying to get extra money. The fact they are no where near the uk is a big deal as all the negotiations usually take place face to face. So if the players not here or we don't have a team of senior people over there already I can't see it happening.

You can do that flight in just over 2 hours, and we have a plane.
