Porter Wants to play at Adelaide united

Postby redhorse Sun Feb 27, 2011 11:53 am

Joel Porter has declared he wants to finish his career where it all started, in Adelaide.

Pretty big call to mention this on the day of the big clash today, he must be really keen.

Thoughts?

Porter said this when he first signed for GCU.So its really 2 year old news

He originally wanted to come home to adelaide and we made an offer but CGU's offer was to good to knock back.

Would be good back up for van dijk at a cheap rate IMO but cant see him being a starter

while youth is rini's policy, a couple of older squadies that come cheaply would not be a bad idea either.

Rini also likes playing locals.

I think if Joel wants to really come home, we can get him on the cheap as Shin mentioned. Lets face it, we really do need a backup "out and out" striker.

Hope this happens for mine

Maybe, if he lost 5-10kg, otherwise, no thanks.

He totally sucked in Boogaard and he is a great impact striker...

You can be a fat bastard and a good striker at the same time. PS: fuck Shane Smeltz, I knew that pseudo-Kiwi-Bosch prick was going to score against us.
All I need is some tasty waves, a cool buzz, and I'm fine.

GCU are snorting the Smeltz drug like no tomorrow. If he hadn't come back to them they wouldn't even be in the finals.

If he continues to score goals like that first one last night I'd have him in a heartbeat.

I'd also have Joel Porter at the right price. Very clever player, but quite often injured.

He'd stay on the GC if it were up to him but his manager/wife wants him to go where the money is

Memories of Agostino anyone? :p
Great memories of Porter & Ago running around Hindmarsh in a blue & white strip for West Adelaide.
