Pedro Porro

Bet he's already training with us today. This is just clickbait to fill the void because we've not bothered doing all the PR shenanigans yet.
 
I don’t know who the Lisbon chairman is but I know Portuguese clubs are normally do the deal and it’s done types
I wonder if thsi has anything to do with Bellarin not moving for some reason
I wonder what is different about this deal...
 
Payment structure related according to that Moretto bloke, they're probably trying to get more up front.
I think it must be this.

Looking at the fact we c.ould of just paid the release clause and there was didley Sporting should have done about BUT are now paying over the release clause, suggests we wanted a payment structure that was more acceptable to us. ( suggests the release clause WAS to be paid all at once) The side effect of that is we then DO have to deal with Sporting, and they are playing silly buggers at the last minute.

The only other explanation is another club are sticking their nose in?

Apparently it’s a conditions based release clause so not like Spain

Given this player is the only target, the cost of financing a lump sum over 5 years vs instalments must be negligible in the grand scheme of things, especially to have it done earlier in the window. Although I have read the clause is only valid in the summer window!

We may have made an agreement to enable him to play the cup final and now they have moved the goalposts knowing we have little alternative, seems an odd way to negotiate from our side though as we don't seem to have a plan b

It's not the financial cost its the capital tie up.

I'm not sure on the window of the clause tbh.
I don't think our negotiating is odd. We rightfully think we've got it done. If the other side goes wobbly/unreasonable what can you do.
