Lobey_Dosser Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Quality striker, top notch professional; its been a joy to have Chris Porter on board. While I think Cardiff presented a better a career move, I'm sure he will do the business at Pride Park. I know we were desperate for the cash but please tell us we secured a sell-on clause.

Well_Jaggy Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Yep. Fair play to the fella. Thanks for the goals, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally85 Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 STV seemed positive he's gone. For a fee "just under £400,000" Good luck to him and I'm interested to see who McGhee has lined up to temporarily replace him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 STV seemed positive he's gone. For a fee "just under £400,000" Good luck to him and I'm interested to see who McGhee has lined up to temporarily replace him. From the Scotsman: We've got contingency plans," McGhee said. "I can pick up the phone at any time and say to someone, 'Right, Chris Porter has gone, can we have your player on loan?' "We have two or three like that who we have spoken to already, who have said that, if Chris goes, then phone us." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weesacs Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 i'd like to know who aswell, but we wont know. if it became public knowledge, we could lose him to someone else. Although I think maybe Killen?? Thoughts on that one? Yantorno? Accies seem interested in him, think i heard Billy Reid on the radio earlier state that. Is he what we're looking for though?

Rammer Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Although I think maybe Killen?? Thoughts on that one? The thought had crossed my mind too but I've got a feeling he may be involved in the Fletcher deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Stall Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Cant imagine we could afford Killen, however if he was judged decent enough to get a shot at Parkheed then he cany be that bad??? Although saying that, Paddy McCoart must be shite since he's never figured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard on the radio not long ago that Killen will be offered to Hibs as part of a bid for Fletcher. £2million + Killen apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yir Elder Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Really sad about losing Ports, but realistic enough to know that he was destined to move on. The shout about Killen could be a good one, or maybe even Gow. Either would be okay by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoF Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/scotland/7860798.stm There's McGhee earlier today talking about the derby bid, saying they will need to up it significant ly for them to accept. They obviously have done so, I wonder how much more (if any) they bid than Cardiff. If it's a bit more, will we see any of the extra to invest in a player or will it still all go to other clubby shenanigans? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizoxy Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I think he meant that Derby had to increase their own bid, not beat Cardiff's, as it wouldn't be much use starting a bidding war if Porter already turned down one of the teams. It's possible their bid could be less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoF Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Oh aye. Had Porter officially turned them down though? I thought he was just waiting to weight up what other options came along. Hopefully it's not far off the Cardiff offer at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 'Flow Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Chris Porter is, at this minute, still a Motherwell player so Real Radio and others are wrong to say that a deal is 100% confirmed - it is not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robyn Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Controversy...! Surely it's a case of dotting the i's and crossing the t's though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 'Flow Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 I obviously can't say anything other than the deal isn't 100% complete. If it was, you'd be reading about it on the official site and, no doubt, the official site of the team who he had gone too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Aye, but every time 'Flow comes on here and says a deal is "not 100% complete" it means it will be soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Grew Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Latest news on Derby County website - Nigel Clough revealed that the club has made a bid to sign a new striker on a permanent deal, but didn't want to name the player until the signing is concluded one way or another. "We are looking to add to the squad at the moment and we are hoping to get a striker in. The chairman is dealing with it but we hope it will be a very good piece of business if we can get it concluded." Porter anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 'Flow Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Aye, but every time 'Flow comes on here and says a deal is "not 100% complete" it means it will be soon Perhaps, but I was just pointing out that STV and Real Radio (etc) are wrong to report that any deal is signed, sealed and delivered... It is not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
that hat Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Perhaps, but I was just pointing out that STV and Real Radio (etc) are wrong to report that any deal is signed, sealed and delivered...

MFCGMFC Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 But has the squad for tomorrow been selected... ...and is Porter included? official site says the squad aint finalized but if ports is still with us then there is every chance he will play fingers crossed he is playing the morn' and scores the winner!! how great would that be!! One Chris Porter!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I think we're now at the point where we all accept that Porter is leaving. I think most of us just want the deal, be it with Cardiff or Derby, done so we can get things moving in terms of finding a replacement and moving on. If Motherwell know 100% that Chris Porter is leaving for a fee of around £400,000 before Monday, then perhaps we can make our move now rather than wait to see where Chris Porter decides his future lies. This is not an attempt at a slight on Porter, this is a big decision for him. But we are at the point where the Motherwell board and Mark McGhee should now be focusing on the future. I'm sure they are, but we only have til 5 on Monday and I would imagine it will be very difficult to do any deals tomorrow. Let's not wait til the deal goes through as it sounds like McGhee is doing "Give us a call when Porter leaves...". Let's have someone lined up so when Porter cleans out his locker, there's a guy standing behind him waiting to put his stuff in it...
