Kanji Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 That's the life, have some football hedge fund and invest in small slivers of player's contracts and get a % of the sell-on fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 How the f*** are Porto not sat on a massive pile of f***ing pirate doubloons after all the buying cheap selling large that they do? They have massive running costs IIRC. Is it not because they only own a fraction of the player themselves, with agents and investors owning a majority stake, in many cases? Benfica do that a lot. Not sure about Porto. Swissramble had a pretty good article on Porto's finance. They really have massive costs compared to their turnover without player sales: http://swissramble.blogspot.com.es/2010/12/portos-buy-low-sell-high-strategy.html http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_jLlqDrcSYeQ/TP9z0R2p5hI/AAAAAAAACoI/3z7ycl-0O-w/s400/3%2BPorto%2BProfit.jpg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 How the fuck are Porto not sat on a massive pile of fucking pirate doubloons after all the buying cheap selling large that they do? They generally only own upto x% of the player so it's all not as it seems. Third party rulership is been done away with so that will have to change. But aye, as Vi said they're model is selling 1-2 players a year to cover their investment for thr next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxfree Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Sp. Anderlecht news @Sporting_AND HLN confirm talks with Mitrovic are still ongoing, sources close to the player expect movement in the coming days. #rsca #nufc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Fuck these asswipes who are mulling over a move, Surely we want players to join us who WANT to play for us. Seems like this Plonker is just waiting for a better offer, so lets just move on and ponder about trying to attempt to think about making a bid for someone else who probably wont come to us ... Nobody will force him to come, I'd rather we set our sights high and try to get someone who sees himself playing at the top. It's like pulling women, the best ones are gonna take some work sometimes. You don't go home early with the fat rotten one in the corner just because she's more up for it. Surely him stalling is exactly that, doesn't want to move to some shit PL team just for the sake of it. I'm looking at it from our POV though, we shouldn't sign someone shit just because he wants to come here. Put the effort in and get someone good.

Optimistic Nut Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 I think this one's ours like. Will probably drag out a couple of weeks, reckon we'll unveil him as the new number 9 against Monchengladbach after Cisse's sold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanji Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Agree. Think we will sign him and he'll be the #9. I hope he does well in it. Not happy in the slightest that I think Cisse is on the out Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 It's madness to go into the season with Perez and this guy as our only forwards. Cisse is proven in the league and guarantees goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 It's a shame for Riviere as he looked decent in pre-season. I'm mental, I know but I'm quite happy to give him another season and see if he can show us something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 It's a shame for Riviere as he looked decent in pre-season. I'm mental, I know but I'm quite happy to give him another season and see if he can show us something. He looked awful last pre season. I had the misfortune of watching the games and it was more than clear then that he couldn't hit a barn door with a banjo. You are mental though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Time Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Nah he done alreet in that Schalke tournament or whatever, he looked pretty spot on and I had high hopes going into the season as long as he had a proper strike partner. Also desperately unlucky last season, through on goal at Man U and hacked down - clear pelanty not given. Another game (Southampton maybe?) took a shot which was a clear as day handball and pelanty and not given. There's plenty more falling on his arse and scuff shots in him yet.

Lush Vlad Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 He has no composure whatsoever and that was evident from day one. But I remember watching the City game at the start of last season and being really impressed. Looked strong, bit of pace, worked hard. I remember after that game thinking him and Cabella would be useful for us. Yeah, bit wide of the mark there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 France Football say that Porto are in advanced discussions to bring back Joao Moutinho. If so, there's no way they're spending on Mitrovic too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
