Joel Porters signing sounds like one more of those " can't confirm, but won't deny" transfers. Porter coming to the Phoenix is more than a strong rumour now.
I reckon we will see him in a Phoenix shirt this season. Really exciting....he will be the last important piece in what is shaping up to be an excellent looking attack. After watching Porters "highlights clip " on You tube he looks to be the real deal. Scores a lot of goals in tight situations, good in the air,good pace and a natural lefty. He will complement Smeltzy brilliantly.
Can't wait until he signs and the season starts!!!!
I know a lot of people were hanging out for a glam marquee striker...but you have to be realistic. The club is only one year old. We finished last in the comp. You could blow a fortune on a "name" and not get much out of it.
Very well said. If we can sign Porter and a proper right back then there is only one situation in which i can think of a marquee signing being worth while. If Ross A. doesn't renew his contract due to injuries we could sign a marquee defensive midfielder, maybe even Ivan V. (and pay him outside the salary cap). This would then free up the space to release Old from his contract and bring in Ben Sigmund in his place.
...or based on recent form we could keep Old as a post man up front and sign Siggy as a marquee
