Hartepool will only release him for a transfer fee....the Phoenix will not do that. Now we have heard that the PFA have not been contacted. Its all over. PORTER WILL NOT BE COMING.
So its time for plan B. Any rumours in that area?
Adelaide have just signed a guy called Christiano(not Ronaldo). Brazilian guy who plays in Holland. Scored 34 goals in 65 games playing for the likes of Roda. Is this the sort of player we should have been looking at.
The problem for the Phoenix is that we have wasted valuable time on the Porter saga and are now way behind the eight ball with regard recruiting a striker. Amazing really....if you are a half decent striker the world is your oyster....every club is desperate to sign a good one.
I hope the Phoenix have been using all their scouting options. The fitness guy Barinowski....he had 25 years working in the EPL....you would think he would have lots of contacts in the UK who could find us a decent player. Plus the overseas kiwi players. Vicilich played for Roda...it would have been great if he told the Phoenix about Christiano
