But without this "middleman" the negotiations should run smoothly, if of course we are still interested.

Without this middleman levy actually has to negotiate face to face with porto something I can't see him wanting to do as it might actually mean he has to buy moutinho something I don't think he genuinely wants to.

Negotiations don't actually have to take place face to face!

Besides which, i don't buy your cynicism! I'm quite certain that Levy would love, if at all possible, to furnish AVB with the player he most wants.

Zahavi was an intermediary agent, not the player's but kind of a fix-it guy in the middle to get the club the best deal but his cut was huge and was causing deals to falter. This is how he makes his money..... his considerable money.

Moutinho and AVB have always had the same agent but now Porto can deal with them directly. It is their fault for getting involved with Zahavi but their philosophy is always to let players go for the price they set and it has worked in the past.

Cheers Danners, makes sense. Just poor wording from the ITK I suppose...

Somewhat interesting if true, wonder who would have pushed to get rid of Zahavi. Seems strange that Porto would be that unhappy considering they got to keep Moutinho and he's been playing really well by the reports while they got massive money from the Russians.

Maybe Moutinho pushing for a move?

Somewhat likely that Porto will have someone else do the job Zahavi did before though.

We're averaging 1.8 goals per game without one...

and we are still in 4th place with a danger of other teams over taking us. IT doesnt matter how many we average per game, its how many games we win which is important. With decent finishers we would average 4 goals per game... As shown against Sunderland, missing those two sitters could have cost us 2 points. A team is only as good as its weakest link.
 
I genuinely believe we'll get him + another striker.

Wouldnt mind us taking a punt on a young promising striker, no point spending big on a striker when weve got Defoe and Ade

Feels strange to me that Porto would sell, having already sold Hulk, but I don't know enough about it... as it was the agents causing issues last time over their %, maybe Porto have realised there is sustained interest in this deal from both sides that doesn't need someone touting their player all over the place.

Skeptical until it happens, but interesting anyway.

Jizz.

We wouldnt be laughing as we would still need a decent forward...

When Ade has been out injured or suspended we have shown that we can manage with Defoe and Dempsey. Ade showed enough last season to know that he has it in him to be good enough. We have options up front.

Central midfield on the other hand, don't make me go look for the with/without Dembele stats again...
