He did the dirty on us, I for one don't want him back. Never mind any concerns over his age. His dirty doing also killed Corney in the transfer market and made him sell prem level players for one weeks wages. sayin that tho, he did have a 1 in 3 goal involvement ratio at league one level last season...

Corney turned down bids for Porter. Porter saw out his contract and moved to the best option for him at that time. Left a sour taste in my mouth but it was hardly doing the dirty he was completely in his right. Happens to me on footy manager all the time as I can't bring myself to sell my star striker (though I did snap West Hams hand off at £600,000 for Marc Klock) My concerns are his age and his injury proneness but looking at his time with Crewe he still has goals in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often he was used from the bench here I don't know. If we are expecting him to play 90 minutes for 40+ games then I'd be worried but off the bench or as a player who say makes 15-20 starts with the rest from the bench then it could work. But with Mike Fondop already here who has barely played over 20 games a season throughout his career then you have to worry about how many players we have who can last a 40 plus game season throw in the likes of Clarke McGahey and Hart who all struggled with injury plus Lumaba and Nicky Adams isn't getting any younger either then it could be a problem with a limited budget having too many players sat in physios room. I'd also let what happened 15 years ago slide too it's not healthy holding a grudge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maximus1267 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Dont think Porter would be a bad signing if Shez is allowed to build a squad. Porter will score goals and will be someone the younger kids playing up top may learn from. If he does sign, along with Hogan, I dont think thats a bad start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we get this deal over the line that would be a good bit of business, CP knows how we feel about him so hopefully he's ready to win us back over.

Have a listen to the Jose Baxter interview were he mentioned he was lied to by Corney about a chunk of money he was promised. All stories have 2 sides.

Looked ok at Crewe last time I saw him but hoping we also sign younger, fitter, faster players. We don't want a team full of ageing, injury prone players so need to get the right mix.

Careca9 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I don’t like he left for nowt but not holding that against him. Main point is, he’s a lot better than what we have right now.

League one forever Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Is anyone else struggling to get excited about the recent signings and/or speculation? It just feels like signing Terry from down the pub, because he ‘used to play a bit’ or ‘he had trials once.’ Sign of the times I know, but my God it’s depressing.

oafc1955 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I don’t get this constant analysis of our potential squad. Under our present ownership we cannot possibly move forward and have absolutely zero chance of competing for a playoff position. IMO the football is almost irrelevant! Next season we just need to stay in the division and make sure we don’t drop any further……the top priority should be getting shut of the ’s.
