Oh my, Eldo is nowhere around, I hope he didn't die from overexcitement

Either that or maybe, he has streaked and has run down the avenue wearing a huge Chelsea flag as a cape!!

Porto released a statement about it. Does that mean he won't come?

[Severinb 309]

Good choice but only want hulk no one else from porto!!!

Porto released a statement about it. Does that mean he won't come?

If it's the statement by cmvc it says;

The FC Porto - Futebol, SAD, the request of the CMVM, hereby notifies the

market coach Andre Villas Boas, as well as several players

squad, has a termination clause.

To date, this company has not received any communication that

clause would be exercised, nor the agreement of the coach to this aim.

When i first heard this I was a bit disappointed I wasn't going to see Guus as manager, but I didn't really know much about AvB.

Just googled him there and I have to say i am fairly impressed by his record with Porto, although i wanted Hiddink i wish Villas-Boas luck, sick of changing manager so often.

Breaking: Porto say "offer too low"

SkySports reporting they haven't received a big enough offer to trigger the release clause.

Edited June 20, 2011 by LDN Blue

[bababoom 4,478]

Porto are saying that the offer was too low.

[Fulham Broadway 17,352]

He got paid off from Chelsea when Mourinho left..

We're paying a 15m Euro release fee to Porto for him....

AND giving him a reported 5m per year salary.

Not bad for a 33 year old former scout that's never kicked a ball professionally.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,557]

yep that`s what they just said on SSN ...Offer too low.

time to put the Champagne on ice i guess..
