East_Stand_Al Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Mid January not an awful lot happening in the transfer window in terms of new faces, however many clubs use this opportunity to also tie up existing players on new contracts. I dont know the ins and outs of our players deals but if a mystery benefactor (Lottery Winner perhaps ) in a one off oppotunity provided funds to slap the Golden Handcuffs on just 1 existing player, who would it be ?

Bobby Russell's lovechild Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 I thought we'd just signed a Thai player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu92 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Chrissy Porter for me. Stephen Hughes would be second, and then probably Clarky would be my third choice. But I think Porter would be the hardest to find a replacement for, so he'd be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dosser chris Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 ye its chris porter for me to hes the best striker weve had at the ark in years if he wants to stay why dont we double his wages instead ov bringing in another fringe player makes sense to me but not boyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yep, Porter for me too. We are far better team when he is playing. And probably the best striker we have had since Coyne? Hughes after that please. We are an even better team with Clarkson alongside Porter, but Porter will get by far the more votes as it's his contract thats up at the end of the season, whereas Clarky's was renewed last season.

Iain7_mfc Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 Yep, Porter for me too. We are far better team when he is playing. And probably the best striker we have had since Coyne? Said that to someone a few weeks ago. Porter is a great player, he links up well with Clarky and his finish is superb. Would give him a silly amount of wages for him to stay at the club.

Yir Elder Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 No matter what wages we could muster for Ports, he could always get more down south and that's where he'll head, probably and hopefully in the summer. That apart I'd also want to hold onto Shug and Clarky too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLip69 Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Going along with what's been said it would have to be Porter as Clarky is already on a contract, but if I'm honest, I'd rather lose Ports than Clarky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeboy Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hughes would probably be the player I would want to tie up most. But our recent return to form has shown that just about every standout player in the team needs a specific partner to perform. We've seen it with Reynolds upon Craigan's return (albeit Reynolds hasn't been a stand out by any stretch this season), Hughes with Klimp, and Porter with Clarkson.

tree Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Porter, Clarkson for the rest of his career (A Motherwell man) then Klimpl before Hughes for me. (Even in a hand full of games, I've seen enough of Klimpl to suggest Scottish football has a new hardman who can also play a bit). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MFCGMFC Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 i would love it if we could keep klipml clarky shug and buzz but i am resigned to losing big ports either now or the end of teh season but its football we're talking about who knows what might happen!!

gav212 Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Clarky is one of these players you cant imagine in another teams shirt (other than scotland) he really seems to have the club at heart when he pulls the shirt over his head and works tirelessly. What a player! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
