I wonder if his dad saying he is going to stay till the end of the season, is because he is a free agent in the summer and someone has done a moody deal with him by offering him a few million signing on fee in the summer so they don't have to pay the rumoured £7m Dnipro want now.

Or even they also don't want to pay his wages and have a player that won't be leaving till the summer.

However it's more likely the player does want to move now but the team looking to buy isn't meeting the valuation so the dad is sending a message to Dnipro "Well fine but you'll get nothing in the summer and we're fine with that". The problem is with that tactic is that Dnipro are owend by a billionaire who's just as likely to say "screw it then, it's only a couple of million and I don't want to loose face."

Who knows - That's the reason why I think you have to buy when players become available because you just don't know all the wheeling and dealing that go on behind the scenes.

Berbatov will not fit in because he doesn't run after lost causes and is particular in his movement.
What he does have is a football brain, can find space easily and create chances out of nowt.
So its a no no

wages look too rich for us also.

In reality. Porto always get these players. They're a champions league team playing in a lovely city with beautiful weather (I was there on holiday last year) at the top of a major league playing the same style as in Spain where most good players want to end up especially those from South America.

It's a lot easier for a south American to get a work permit in Portugal than western Europe, plus Portuguese is spoken quite a bit in the likes of Brazil.

I forgot about the language. I know the article made the point about the work permit but what I was saying was even if there wasn't that issue he would have likely chosen Porto over us anyway.
