What the fuck are you mentioning me for you silly little prick?Close sources have confirmedThe Mercurial No.10 is currently in the process of applying for Saudi Arabia tourist visa
Sources have also confirmed he just bought home , away and third Al Nassr kits for 2023/24 season.
Porro is an incredibly talented wingback who was brought here to be a wingback. If he improves his positioning he can still be an incredible fullback as well.
But are we in for Lukaku ?
Absolute tosh
He's nowhere near good enough.
He's a luxury player that you could bring on and hope for a goal every four of five games.
In 201 games he has 49 goals and 19 assists.
We've overspent on him and people are desperate for him to succeed, but there's no evidence that he's going to be a 20 goal a season man - which we desperately need.
He's never scored more than 13 premier league goals in a season.
I REALLY hope that he succeeds here - but the odds of him being a success as our main man are slim to say the least.

Clever signing if we get schuurs. Dutchman like van der wen so will be good cohesion and communication at back. Like the Belgian legends vertonghen and alderweireld.
He has no outstanding attributes apart from the fact that he runs he’s nuts off. He needs better movement and finishing to be a good striker in this league
I really doubt we will find a better backup than Sanchez for the money we look to get if we sell him. He looked good vs Barca and cant complain about him today either. Not easy to be thrown into a game like that either. I'd say him, Romero and VdV are the ones we can use, need 1 more of high quality.
because you're the joke of thos forum.
Sanchez is playing like he dont want to leave us. Was awesome v Barcelona.
Does he though?
He may give the appearance of running his nuts off but that's probably because his first touch means he's lost the ball and is trying to get it back.
He doesn't track back half as well as he should for a player that is not scoring and not assisting.
Today he could be seen leasurely jogging back from the half way line when Brentford were on the attack most of the time.
Hopefully AP can turn him into the player we all want him to be - but on the current evidence, it'll take a miracle.
I can see that. And I have posted I wasn’t too impressed with him today and don’t feel he is the perfect fit for how we are going to try to play.
But, I do think it’s a bit harsh to judge him on his goals per game, mainly playing for an absolutely awful Everton side. If he can get one in four playing for that abomination of a team, he can get a lot more playing for us.
He’s never going to get Kane numbers, but if we can lump in some goals from elsewhere on the pitch, he could be a decent stopgap. Although like you, I have my doubts.
I agree with that. If we can sell Dier, especially for more money, I am much happier with that outcome. Not an Ange player, Dav is showing that he really wants to be at least.
How long do you give him though?
You said "he can score and press like no one up front" - do you really believe that?
He's pretty much our only recognised striker at the moment and he's given us 3 goals in 36 appearances.
What's acceptable from him after a 10/15/20 game consistent run?
Do we forever just 'hope' he comes good?
I lost count of how many times we said that last season.
yeah, would prefer a wide forward/winger too. He didn’t look a level above any of their other forward players in general play. I think we should forget the goal ratio, that won’t automatically transfer to the PL. general game good but not great in comparison with the opposition.
