From what ive been told, it appears Porter will be staying till the end of the season, we lose him for nothing, and he'll sign for Derby

 

He's a money grabbing prick! I've done some research and this is what an Oldham fan said:

 

"Exactly as us fellow Latics have said, he'll go nowhere in January. Him and his money grabbing agent will wait until summer when they can leave the club for free so any transfer fee would then just go to them as a signing on fee. £400k to Motherwell now and no signing on fee for Porter, or nothing to Motherwell in summer and £100k+ for Porter and his agent as a signing on fee, there's only one option a guy like Chris Porter will choose. He did the same with us, we accepted an 800k bid for him from Plymouth, he said he didn't want to leave us and instead would sign a new deal in the summer. Anyway, regardless of whether he would sign the contract or not didn't matter too much as we were entitled to compensation should he leave for a Championship club like speculated, I believe yourselves were one of the clubs strongly linked with him back then. However he didn't sign a new deal and chose a cross border move leaving us potless for him as we weren't entitled to a penny despite spending £100k on medical treatment for him during his first season with us which was a mare."

 

Typical modern football player, all about the money. I'm bloody glad he's not joining us.

 

Apparently we've bid £1.6million for Watford's Tommy Smith. Exciting times ahead for City tbh.

I'm hoping you go up to be honest.

 

Would be awesome if two Welsh teams got promoted :mrgreen: but not likely looking at the table... still one would be good. I bet it'll be Cardiff vs Swansea in the Play-off finals :lol:

WHAT'S THAT COMING OVER THE HILL?

IS IT A CHOPRA!? A MICHAEL CHOPRA!!!!!

 

Quality signing, although a bit unsure of the proposed £4million bid when his loan runs out. But brave to Dave Jones and Peter Risdale. No sales, for once, and Burke, Quincy and Chopra. That's ambition.

 

We actually have options now! OPTIONS!!!

aye doing well this season ur lot

 

automatic or play offs?

 

Ooohhh, that's a toughie! :twisted:

 

Surely play-offs, but we do have the quality to make the top 2. It depends if we take the points we deserve rather than dropping points in injury time due to stupid goals again. It's never looked so bright for Cardiff City!

 

How did you rate your performance against Sunderland then? I believe Chopra let you off the hook at the end, lol.

errrrrm it wasnt a penalty for us but i will take it and i will take a draw, so that says it all really haha

 

we got west brom on saturday if we lose that we are buggered

 

Aye, I've got a Newcastle supporting friend who seems to tell me every Monday that they've been screwed by the ref, so it's nice to see you got a dodge decision in your favour for once, haha.

 

Our match against Arsenal tomorrow has been postponed, hopefully we don't get a huge line-up of games all at once. We're already 1 behind everyone else in the Championship.
