Porro for his whole first season will be compared to Walker if he signs. Both £50m and signed from Spurs. The thing is Walker if he were buying him now from Spurs would cost about £80m.
Just quickly checked...i'm not one of those who thought he was shit! In my mind that makes me 100% correct on all assessments of Spurs right backs!
Do we need to accept he is a midfielder or do others need to accept he is a right back? On the basis he has been playing right back exclusively for the last 18 months, excelling there to the point where he has been the best in the league in that position, became an automatic pick for Pep and made a strong Portugal squad for the world cup as a right back, i'd very strongly suggest it was the latter.he ain't coming as second choice, we need to accept Nunes is a midfielder and most likely being moved back there or relegated to the bench in favour of an actual RB/RWB
Not by me. Different players and different times. Walker proved a ‘steal’.Porro for his whole first season will be compared to Walker if he signs. Both £50m and signed from Spurs. The thing is Walker if he were buying him now from Spurs would cost about £80m.
That ranking system is just a load of bullshit. The way they have rated players means they're judged on a specific criteria that they've decided makes the best player.
Squawka have him as the third best performing right back for the season across all the metrics they measure. Nunes is 8th.
Personally cant see is going for 3 players that will all cost around 100m each.Can't see this as we have already had the chance and passed!! That said I've been told we are after 4 players.

I don't know the guy who told a friend of mine so couldn't say if he'd ever called transfers right before just something he heard from within the club (apparently )!!!
Did the same and couldn't help but laugh. Wonder if anyone actually did the things they'd rather do than watch Kyle Walker in a City shirt...LOL! Just read some of the first few pages, lots of humble pie there!
They have Diego Dalot above Nunes. I think it's fair to say that the old maxim is true about lies, damn lies and statistics.

Doesn't matter what I think, you think or what Pep thought or what has happened, the next manager may not see it that way.Do we need to accept he is a midfielder or do others need to accept he is a right back? On the basis he has been playing right back exclusively for the last 18 months, excelling there to the point where he has been the best in the league in that position, became an automatic pick for Pep and made a strong Portugal squad for the world cup as a right back, i'd very strongly suggest it was the latter.

Agree with this. He'd be a huge upgrade on Lewis and the healthy competition between Porro and Nunes should bring out the best performances in both players. Factor in that we'd effectively be swapping him for Savinho, allowing us to then upgrade in the wing position as well it's a bit of a no brainer really.Have to say he was not on my radar but I don't feel like it would be a bad choice at all. We absolutely need another right back option and one that allows us to play the same way if Nunes is unavailable. Most of our big losses earlier this year (united, bodo, madrid) came when Nunes wasn't playing.
Porro feels very similar to Nunes and will provide genuine competition for the spot, which is always good. Defensively question marks but not sure there's any options that wouldn't either.
Also, see a lot of people suggesting Nunes should/will be moving back into midfield. I don't get that. He's progressed amazingly at right back this last season and a half but I've seen nothing to suggest he's all of a sudden got the awareness, intelligence and consistency under pressure to play midfield to the level we're aspiring for
I am stating nothing, but if we are buying a RB for 50Mwho is first choice at his club, I cannot see it is to sit on the bench.You stated it's likely he'll be moved or relegated to backup, that's purely based on your own opinions of him. When the greatest manager ever has him right back for 18 months, declining the opportunity to bring somebody else in and sees him excel and be the best in the league, why would anybody else come in and change that? So yes he may not see it the same, but he might, and there's far more reason to believe he would than wouldn't.
We already had him within the CFG and Viana had him at Sporting Lisbon. If he were as you describe, then I doubt we'd be showing any interest.He seems like a knobhead to me
Why does that matter? We need RB depth.
