I see the Blades have loaned him to Shrewsbury, who coincidentally play Tranmere tonight and us at the end of the month. Hope he has a barren loan

I think that it is wrong that a manager can loan a player out to a team in the same league hoping that the player can cause damage to teams challenging their rivals, Porter might be poor and he can't get into the blunts side but he has latched onto a chance and scored, I will be livid if he was to score against us before his loan spell ends.
He would go back to the blunts. "Job done"
Wealthy teams can sign a player solely to play them in the reserves with a decent pay packet to prevent them from scoring against their own team, it's wrong and never contested, why?

Well if theyre that worried about us & they can afford to do it good luck to them. It would be different if the shoe was on the other foot

Must admit this is a strange one.

Can't quite agree with this one. I think its more of an issue that, if they play united, he can't play, which means a rusty striker might get bought in. I remember a few years ago Man Utd had Howard and Foster out on loan to prem clubs, which meant for 4 games that season they were at even more of an advantage by facing second choice keepers with no match practice.

This misses the obvious point, though, that Porter is crap.
