New Striker vows to put Blades in promotion reckoning

[Fiery Blade]

Why oh why do these guys open their mouths with little or no substance to what they say?
Last year we had Speed & Co talking about promotion to the Prem in September and after our demise and fall from grace we have new signing Chris Porter talking about his goals taking the Blades up!
He has hardly played in the last two and a half years and now he thinks he will be miraculously 'cured' and firing on all cylinders
Fraid not Mr Porter, you will be lucky to complete 10 games this season given your previous track record. Last year we had Henderson, Williamson, France, Morgan, Monty, et al missing huge swaithes of the season through injury Add Mr Porter
And Goals 2 or 3 at best !!!

 

[kelham blade]

Well that's him written off then!

 

[Fiery Blade]

Well that's him written off then!

Why didn't he keep his mouth shut ! Come in and go about his business - if he is so confident then his goals would have spoken for him
I have heard enough bullshit from Henderson to last a lifetime and surelt Mr Porter must realise if you don't get the service then you'll not get the goals Ask Billy Sharp!!

I'll have a small wager with you that he gets more than the 2 or 3 goals you say.

Christ, who really gives a shit?! It's not keeping me awake at night.

 

[Houso]

Somebody has an awfully sandy vagina.

 

[Vancouver]

Why don't we try something crazy and not write off our new players before they've even had a chance to show what they can do for us? I know it's crazy, novel thinking but maybe something good might come from it.

Also; what do you expect Porter to say: "Well, I've had injuries so I probably won't play too often but, let's face it, when I get on the pitch I'm not that good. And it's not like the Blades are playing for promotion this year is it?"

 

[JohnDenver]

If he manages to be anything better than utter toss he'll shine like a star. Go to it Chrissy boy!

 

[Pedro Verde]

Cant see whats wrong with a bit of confidence / optimism. Strikers need confidence and belief in their own ability

 

[Bladesway]

The bloke believes he can score some goals and help us getting promoted. Damn, I was hoping he was going to tell us about how he was going to get injured pre-season and never play for us in our relegation scrap.

Some people really do get their leopardskin thongs caught in their nadgers easy don't they?

I for one will be booing him when he's introduced to the crowd at the Lane. Scandalous what he's come out with, beyond the pale...

 

[LoughboroBlade]

There'll be an interview with Flynn next talking about how he'll be "creating lots of goals" this season. Madness.

 

[Fiery Blade]

Sensitive Lot aern't we !

This guy has to prove himself Talking bollocks about promotion when he's hardly kicked a ball for 2 plus years is hardly common sense is it!
Lets see him kick a ball in earnest before spouting off about how many goals he's going to get!
Last years shower kept talking about play offs and promotion till Christmas Then, they were far too good to go down
Seen it before Prove yourself on the field Mr Porter - We are fed up with empty promises from the players

Lets see him kick a ball in earnest before we start criticizing him eh?

To be fair to Chris Porter, he did score 24 goals in his last season in this division.

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

The player has proved nothing yet I grant you that, but you have no way of proving he cant deliver on his promise.

I would sooner read ambitious comments than the same old "one game at a time" type cliches.

Nothing wrong with a bit of positivity, even if its not something we Blades are familiar with.

 

[blade too long]

lets have all the players come out then saying we are certs for relegation and will look clueless
thatll sell some tickets

 

[Houso]

Sensitive Lot aern't we !

Oh the ironing.

 

[broomhillblade]

Oh Mister Porter
What shall I do?
I wanted to play with Birmingham
But you've taken us down to Crewe

Only joking. Give the guy a break. The club's site should be about positivity and you can get the negative stuff elsewhere. Interviews are all about soundbites and shouldn't be taken seriously. Often the interviewee is given a loaded question from the interviewer and has to reply accordingly. Edit it down and it can make them look foolish. In my experience, most players when interviewed are in fact quite modest and will usually say they want to do better.

 

[Kenilworth]

I am absolutely positively 100% sure that we are utter garbage.

That do it for ya?

If you like. I have no wish to contend the above opinion.

Lets face it you have a strong argument based on last season.

The quite bewildering thing to me is why some of you bother at all though!

We're crap, lets all admit it, give up and go home.

 

[Robbie]

He's played in around 50% of Derby's games over the ladt 2 years, albeit a good chunk of them were as sub.

A man starting a new job hopes to do well in his new job. Only football fans would see somethig wrong with that. It's true that nobody has ever interviewed me when I've started at a new place, but then again, what I do isn't a spectator sport watched by thousands.

Why the fuss that a new player has been interviewed? He's hardly going to say he'd be lucky to hit the floor with his hat more than twice in ten throws is he? It's pre-season. It's a standard footballer interview. Calm down dear.
