NetJet private plane on its way to Porto airport. Due in in about 45 mins.

From Manchester?

He is reported to be a rough diamond that needs polishing, but his energy will be needed in midfield immediately.
Can play 6 or 8.
Possibly a box to box player in the future.
At last an attempt to beef up midfield. I’ll look forward to seeing him.
No last minute glitches please.

Does anyone go on any Porto fans forums?

Fans views are usually a key sign that this is good news or not for us.

If they are gutted, happy days. If not, throw him on the Nunes and Phillips pile.

Seen the state of the player performance threads here?

 

[Damanino]

hoping he is nothing like Phillips and Nunes.

Although Wolves and Leeds fans were both gutted about those 2 so maybe not the most reliable guide..

Those 2 boys and another midfielder in the summer should bring much needed physicality back to our line up . No more getting pushed around .

Rodri and Gonzalez in the middle, four centre backs in the defence, Erling up front with Marmoush.

Twat it long and run at the cunts was always Pep's endgame plan.

If Merson says he's a waste of money, that's good enough for me.

From Manchester?

No, but that doesn’t mean much. They’re a private jet airline that taxi people all over Europe. It’s coming from Berlin.

It might not be the plane, but it probably is.

Prob my favourite comment after reading the Porto forum and translating:

“Holy shit, I hope you have fun in that plastic club, without history, with artificial fans, in that shitty city, with shitty time, shitty food and with depressed Guardiola fucking your head every 5 minutes.

I'm kidding, I wish him all the best, he seems to me an impeccable boy and he was a great player while he was here.

But I didn't tell any lies.

And holy shit gave birth to that new-rich club of shit, because they could have taken the guy at any time and chose to do it at the end of the transfer period.”

And they can fuck off
Give me a good bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon to that shite fortified stuff that not even the finest Stilton can get rid of the taste.

I'll run with that.
Eyes down(or up in this case)

Not to my recollection. Many Wolves fans were prepared to drive Nunes to the Etihad themselves. Most didn't rate him as anything special & were surprised we paid £53m for him. They were correct!

We need real time tracking:-)

From what I can read, they're generally sad to see him go- leader on the pitch- but very happy with the amount they receive; much more than they got for Vitinha whom they rated more highly. They reckon they can use it now to find better. Seems to have been well regarded by most albeit in a pretty poor Porto midfield. Question marks over his stamina and lack of pace, which are made by a few posters, and how long he'll take to adjust in England, but the general mood seems to be sad to see him go.

It’s the only private jet on Porto Airport’s arrivals too.

If it isn’t, it’s killed some time lol

Another one due at 7:30

 

[Gigant]

We still have no real DMF cover for Rodri, but Im OK with this, things are moving.

Anybody coming in means we gona be fortunate to see Gundogan or Bernardo ( hopes both) exiting

Is anyone hiding in the bushes of Porto Airport eating corned beef and ketchup sandwiches?

Looking into that a bit more, it's a Portuguese plane, and it is on a return trip to Porto from earlier this morning.

Just seen that has been added. It’d be a bit of a rush to get him here and have all the contracts signed.

Might be a Porto signing?

 

[mosssideblue]

Considering its January, id give it a 9/10

Exactly
