Hi Eds,

Any chance of this strange Sporting crisis benefitting us at all?

Martins, Podence and Fernandes all seem like options who could fit the bill for us. I understand Martins has been linked to the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool, but haven't heard much about the other two. Are they options for the Saints or am I being too ambitious?

{Ed001's Note - it really is difficult to say, it could all get very messy yet. Sporting could easily appeal to CAS and block any of the players from playing.}

Thanks Ed. Do you think teams are likely to stay away because of these complications, or do you expect these players to be snapped up quickly?

One of the more interesting scenarios I’ve ever seen in terms of transfer dealings.

{Ed001's Note - I would expect some to see clubs step in and get a deal with Sporting and some will no doubt back down when they are not getting the offers they are looking for. You would be better looking on the Eurosoccer site as Ed002 can offer more detail about it on there as it is completely relevant to that site.}

Fair enough mate, I'll have a look there. Thanks for the info! Much appreciated as always.

{Ed001's Note - very welcome mate, he has much better info than I do on this kind of thing.}
