slystallone Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 His record apart from 1 season with us and 1 with Motherwell is :censored: and hes also injury prone now. He'd slow us down and get about 6goals if he's lucky with his fitness. Leave him where he is That'll still be 6 more than Wilkinson looks like getting...

BlueJazzer Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Ex Bury Grammer lad suggests he's no fool too...he hasn't earned enough in his career so far to put his feet up He is no ex Bury Grammar lad. He's ex-QEGS Blackburn, that's like saying someone is ex-Bluecoat when they are ex-Oldham Hulme What has any of this got to do with anything? Ex Hulme grammar? Means what? His parents were rich enough to send him to a posh school. Means nothing if you don't apply yourself. I know plenty of people from rough schools who went on to do well and plenty of wasters that went to posh schools. We want him to score goals FFS not translate Latin.

bigfatjoe1 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Danny Philliskirk wasn't good enough for Sheffield United. Different ends of the career spectrum. DP had the motivation to work hard, Porter wouldn't. He's always looked like a lazy player and at his age and stage in his career i don't see him coming to Oldham and finding the motivation to go and score goals. I couldn't really care less about what happened. Most players do what their agent tells them. I just think he's crap and wouldn't do the job.

Think you have totally missed the point...the fact he is no numb nuts suggests he knows he can't let his career just peter out yet... People's comments of 'he has lost it' are totally unfounded...if he's a target for Johnson it's good enough for me Being able to afford to send a kid to a private school doesn't necessarily mean you are rich...and the money you can earn out of football is a world apart anyways.

LeylandLatic Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Every time I've heard porter speak I've thought how lucky he is to be a professional footballer, clearly thick as pig :censored: regardless of which school he attended.

I couldn't really care less about what happened. Most players do what their agent tells them. I just think he's crap and wouldn't do the job. Thats not really the point that I was making though. I'm not even saying if I think we should or shouldn't sign him, but if we are going to look at players and say well he's not good enough for Sheffield United then he isn't good enough for us, then basically we'd never sign anyone. We've got cock all money, so we need to build from other clubs rejects, loanees and youth players. And that will mean signing players who have previously failed at clubs in this division.

yarddogs Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 It's a bad sign when we're chasing another average League One side's rejects. A large percentage of our summer signings are other league one rejects. Plus he conned us out of £700k (I know - it was his agent, etc)...

No, my point is just because he went to said school doesn't mean he ISNT a numbnuts. And Rude, I take ur point about not wanting to be associated with him now....
