Wanted my Oldham according to the papers today. Couldn't he do a job for us ? A good striker with experience he is. Plus he knows where the net is if you check his impressive career record. We should judge him more on his Stoke days then his Cardiff days.
Peter Thorne would be a good shout! however, if oldham want him does that mean porter is on his way? possibly to oakwell, maybe he is the one we are after......... question is who would you prefer the experience of Peter Thorne or youth and promise of Chris Porter?

The Oldham Chairman has stated categorically no players will be leaving Oldham in the transfer window. so forget Porter.
RE: The Oldham Chairman Haven't we been told by our Chairman that we will be signing quality players?</p> I would take what any chairman says with a bucketful of salt.</p>
RE: Peter Thorne would be a good shout! however, if oldham want him does that mean porter is on his You mean to say that they are planning on bringing him in to cash in on Porter whilst he's still in contract.....And we want Chris Porter before he is out of contract the end of the season.....And we are looking for a proven scorer...... Well i shall say no more.
Hes excellent in the air for a guy whos only 6ft,slow though has never had any pace even in his younger days.a player i have admired over the years.
The money spent on him over the years has been vast. But i can see him being a good option for a year or two.
