Wellimp Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I heard it could be Gary Teale I heard that as well. We'll have to wait and see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfc1886 Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I heard that as well. We'll have to wait and see! I think we might have got it from the same source, he phoned me this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brazilian Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 If the transfer goes ahead in time (more wishful thinking than any rumour) Chris deserves best wishes for the future. He's been a model professional from a fans perspective, always put in the effort, never complained when it wasn't going his way but just knuckled down and got back on track. His goals were very valuable and enjoyable, but it was also a pleasure to see his contribution to the team, he might not have got MOTM every week but he would be well up for MVP in my eyes. I still think its not that fair valuation (please let there be a sell on clause!) and I still think the club has lost its way when it comes to maximising the asset return. But it was clear when he signed that our club was a stepping stone I just wish we had a business team that could negotiate longer term deals with clauses allowing players to move on earlier in the deal when a slighltly more substantial fee is offered (more wishful thinking ) But Thanks for the memories Chrissy Porter and all the best for the future, perhaps one day you'll want to come back and play alongside Faddy as mentioned somewhere above (dreaming now ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 good luck Chris and thanks for all your hard work (thank fuck you didn't go to FHW!!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Irish Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Great deal for all concerned. Well done McGhee for spotting him in the first place, he knows his strikers. Not a bad choice for Porter, I'm not convinced Cardiff will make the Prem and he's been away from home the best part of 2 years now, at Derby he can go home and settle down. Not to be too cruel either, Championship is Porter's level, not quite quick enough for the Prem. I would be interested in Teale, I saw him play for Derby a couple of months ago and he was excellent.

Juan Kerse Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Is this 'fishal yet? Anyway - looks 99% certain so all the best big Chris. Will (I'm sure we all will) be looking out for your career, perhaps even on MOTD in a couple of seasons To echo what has been said. A great Number 9, model pro, and a gent to boot - will always remember that, I spose as he was English he was the 'spokesman' to the wider media , Sky Sports, Talksport etc.. during the Phil tragedy, like the day of it - and he handled it very well and spoke well of Phil and our club. Was brilliant from the big man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
something else Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Is this 'fishal yet? Yep its on DCFC official site and he was paraded at Pride Park yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Kerse Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Perhaps we are delaying the transfer news untill Teale arrives to paraded at FP Another point about Porter, it seems that he waived £25,000 that we owed him as part of the deal to get this move, so we didn't lose out on the lower fee.... Quality big chap!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 And here was me thinking he was a money grabbing so and so, in it for himself, with dodgy knees who'd miss many games a season for us and not score any goals other than headers.

Rickoza Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 You know, after the past year-and-a-half we had from Porter, you can imagine how pissed off Levein is that he didn't sign him now. Fair to say Ports goals were the difference between us and them finishing third? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daver Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 I think there were suggestions that he didn't fancy adding on that extra hour and a half on to the drive to Dundee away from his family. Also read that was why he favoured Derby over Cardiff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mio Krivokapic Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 i think your right, lets get on the derby board and let them know what hes like Then return a year later, just to show we're not bitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wellfan1984 Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 Then return a year later, just to show we're not bitter Have our friends from Oldham returned since they said they would once he left us to tell us they told us so Also, on the stadium comment, it was meant as the club HE played for. When you compared it to Bury, Oldham and Fir Park, Pride Park is 5 star tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rickoza Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 Nice words from Ports.... Meanwhile, Porter has thanked McGhee and everyone else at Fir Park for making his 18-month stay a memorable experience. The 25-year-old scored 27 goals for the Steelmen after moving from Oldham. "I really enjoyed my time in Scotland and it was a difficult decision to leave the club," Porter told Motherwell News. "I want to put on record my thanks to everyone at the club and in particular the supporters, who I enjoyed a good rapport with. "I would also like to thank Mark McGhee, Scott Leitch and all the lads in the changing room. "I've made some great friends at Motherwell and I'll definitely keep in touch with them. "I remember reading about the club before I signed, there was a quote from Terry Butcher saying it gets under your skin - and that is very much the case. "It's been an eventful 18 months with some unbelievable highs and some devastating lows. "I will be looking out for Motherwell's result every single week and I would like to wish everyone well for the rest of the season." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
