Finlay Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Injury wise Porter would be a gamble.....and his wages would need to reflect that in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Higdon seemed to take a knock last night and it was very obvious in the second half that our attacking alternatives lack physical presence. We need someone in as back up to Higdon (I don't think our budget will stretch to someone to partner him) and it has to be someone with a decent injury record.

Cobra Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Can't see this administration stumping up the cash Porter will be demanding, especially with his injury history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
numpty Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Z.F.A. signed specifically for the U-19s eh? Not another Charalambous-type fiasco I hope. Would hardly call it a fiasco. You've got to speculate to accumulate, and sometimes young guys just don't live up to their early promise. C'est la vie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelboy Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 surely a young epl loan striker will be the priority. someone in the big and fast juke/blackman mould. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postiejim Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Porter WAS a good player for us but no thanks, not worth the gamble for the cash he will be looking for . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelmen Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Slight difference there Mad Dog I think from signing some Cypriot tank commander to a person who previously played for Tottenham Hotspur. I seem to remember another Tottenham Hotspur player we signed, played with Jurgen Klinsman don't you know, the legend that is John Hendry. now tell me he was a quality player.

Ya Bezzer! Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I saw Charalambous have an argument in Tesco in Cypriot over a bottle of Fanta. So at least one Motherwell fan got some entertainment out of him. Can only really echo what's been said about Porter. Fantastic penalty box player and the best finisher we've had since Tommy Coyne, but his wage demands in connection with his injury proneness might be too much. Would still love to see him back at Fir Park though. I think his wage demands will come more into line provided he still doesn't have a club at the start of the season. I don't know exactly what the state of his fitness is, although I know he has had serious injury problems since he left us, but if he can pass a fitness test I'd be happy to offer him a season deal. And I'd bet he'd be just as fit as Jeffers was last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wattyno1 Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 What about young Andy Little on loan from Rangers , international pedigree and can play up front or left/right back. could be a useful addition and he has stated that he wants to go out on loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What point are you exactly trying to prove. the fact it doesn't matter what club you come from, if your pish, your pish. i hope this lad is a cracking player but just because he has come from Spurs doesn't mean he will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StipeIsGod Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Porter would make a decent amount of sense. People are complaining about his fitness. Realistically, it's between him and Higdon for a place in the team. You only need one fit at a time, and it's dubious both would be gubbed at once. Better a high wage, decent sub, than some shite that can't score for Charlie Broon's comic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StipeIsGod Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 Little appears firmly in the "plays for OF, gets caps" bracket for me. Ocht, and I got negatived for my Porter view. Does that person have a comment? Ocht, and I got negatived again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Wellfan 2k7 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 how the fuck can you be a striker/ Left-right back? in a similar way that wilkie was used for united? put up front for his physical presence at the tail end of a match (or, in his case simply as a back up striker). Don't really know much of Little but if he could play in defence and then shoved upfront for some extra options then I'm sure he'd be great.

wellfan09 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 the example of wilkie is completely different imo, he would be punted up in the dying minutes if they were losing just so that he could win balls in the air and this is because centre backs are obviously some of the biggest players in the team, not sure why a wingback would be put up front though unless it was only because of his pace ....

'Wellfan 2k7 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 not really considering he played full games upfront due a lack of attackers, which is what i was getting at. As i said i don't really know enough about this Little to make a true comment on his attacking abilities and Wilkie was the only other instance, i can think of, where a defender played in both attacking and defensive roles.. Its a bit of an oxymoron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottW1886 Posted July 15, 2011 Report Share Posted July 15, 2011 The boy Little definitely is seen as someone who can play right back and striker.... Jon Daly and Chris Sutton are/were guys comfortable in defence and attack - and not just in a game chasing scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
