Was he not going to be included as a home grown club trained player for Europe or did he not count as he was U21? If he did count it leaves us in the shit squad wise.

Agree with this. Seems good on paper due to numbers but the eye test against us last year when he missed the two chances was enough to put me off. We have sakala to do that job against dross. We are the sheep’s cup final and he missed two chances to bury us. He’s not a ‘killer’ at big moments, again similarly to sakala, he’s would not be good enough for us in the big games.

I agree he shouldn’t be first choice with Ridvan there. However, having him as back up for when we are chasing games and need someone to come off the bench and deliver balls into the box might not be the worst idea, especially with the rumoured striking targets Beale is going for. Having said that I am the worst for labelling him a shite bag at any chance he does something wrong. Not fussed either way if the wages work and he’s happy to be second fiddle.

The Dutch boy for Motherwell looks a player

Really hope there’s a good spread on at this funeral. Will be good to meet some of yous in person. p.s Neil McCann thinks you are both idiots.

Absolutely brutal. Cunt of an illness.

I’m all for being wrong and him being class obviously. Just canny see it.

I said the same leaving the game with my old man.

I always feel like I’m being harsh on him because I obviously want him to do well but he is honkin. Nothing to cling on to that there might be something there except pace. Even at that he doesn’t use his pace when he has that chance to knock it and go into space. There was a few times that was on yesterday (and it won’t be in the SPL) and he never took it. Drives me wild, no point having pace to burn and not using it.

I canny get onboard with it. He’s a bellend. Would be an utter let down in important games. Said before Ian Black MK II. At the time I’m sure the same was said about him.

5 year deal then.

Would have Aribo back if he was up for it… prob find king will play out there. He’s played LB for us before.

He porteous not done his knee before ? Could be wrong but I’m sure he did.

Think he is on 5 bookings already this season, pretty much nailed on for a red card at some point with all the hype/pressure surrounding his contract. I remember hibs being beat recently by someone (can't mind who possibly St Johnston) and him being at fault for both goals - both goals being beat in the air. I said a few posts ago I haven't seen a lot of him either but do not think he does the basics well enough to consider him being a player worth looking at. I still can't understand the hype and think its mostly self generated.

Yilmaz is injured and Borna is still away. Will be someone filling in at left back.

I can see the attraction for Porteous from the club from in terms of euro squad, free transfer, international, decent age & number of games/experience. Not speaking for anyone, but, in terms of a fans point of view, he doesn't fit the mould for me. Tried on numerous occasions to do our players (Coulibaly, Borna, Aribo & Morelos from the top of my head), generally a wee wank and most importantly he's not as good at football as he thinks he is and Scottish football want him to be. Granted I have a small sample size of viewings V Rangers but he has never been a stand out, he will always be the player I would target to play against. He falls into the Ian Black & Joey Barton bracket. It's a massive no for me.

Harsh but funny

Just his Batman costume.

Jim White, he seems on the ball.

This is bang on. The fact we are effectively relying on him to be our RW answer highlights how fucked we are. He may be a really nice guy but he's disgusting at football.

Don't know a great detail about him, other than a few massive pumpins. From the little I have seen of him, his character probably reminds me of Gio. Not what we need right now.

100%. I'd still be happy for him to sign a deal. He, along with the rest of the squad, looks miles off its fitness wise. Get someone else in and get the team fit and organised. Kent even if he was poor knocked his pan in and doesn't look like he is close to being able to do that now.

Was just thinking the same thing

It's becoming more evident that the board aren't going to sack him (which they should do), they surely have to come out and back him. I know it's not in their make-up to say anything and usually do so after the horse has bolted e.g., Australia and champions league ticket pricing. For me and most others I've spoken to, the horse has well and truly fucked off and they need to say something, even if it is backing him. The usual standard silence from the board is not an option here. We slaughtered them for shark-gate but my fear is we end up with something similar and it should never get to that point.

Aye that is the last thing you want to see in pre season. Rapid winger that ha you on toast early doors. Boy did look the part tho.
