Got to be in the intensive care ward though, with not much chance of pulling through, regardless of what TP said on Sky. The lack of enthusiasm from Remy is palpable. I think we'd have to be the only financially acceptable offer on the table, which I suppose isn't completely unthinkable? But it's surely unclear we'd still be willing to put that kind of cash down for aplayer who really didn't want to come? You'd have to think that maybe Nice would ultimately drop the price to a level where clubs that Remy would find attractive would be prepared to gamble on him before August 31st. videos.lequipe.fr/video/football/foot-l1-remy-nice-c-est-mieux-que-rien/?sig=iLyROoaf8Fj4 42 seconds in... You have visited the club Stoke City in the week. This is not what you were looking for? Loïc Rémy: No. I think that this was not a club suited to what I wanted, even if there is a beautiful stadium and good training conditions

Yet you still call him up on it? Actually yes, because it does sound fucking patronising, and if it sounds patronising to me it could certainly sound patronising to players, who might not give him the benefit that I do. Remember these players have very fragile ego's, and to be honest there isn't any real need to be calling them kiddies regardless of how old they are. H Oh my gawd, i've read it all now!

It doesnt look likely but Tone basically said everything that happened the day that he came was as expected, and he didnt say it was game over.

Easy for you to defy the laws of logic yes and exist in your own self-satisfied little world la-la-la-ing as the evidence against your entrenched views piles up. You'd look a lot less daft if you DID take a leaf out of RAF's book and show a little humility occasionally. Christ, you must be hell to live with. Rob: What's this, woman? Robina: It's stew. I cooked it myself with my own fair hand. Mince, carrots and turnips. Rob: I had been looking forward to a catfish oatcake and I'm afraid I simply can't accept what you say. Catfish otcake it is. Robina: It's stew....it's bloody stew I tell you.....lobby, if you like. Rob: No it isn't., though the oatcake's a bit less rubbery than normal and the catfish has a certain meaty texture..... Robina: I'm off down the pub.....tara! ;D

You don't have any evidence and you run away screaming like a little girl when I ask you to address the key issue and actually provide some evidence that the style of football is the reason players aren't coming. Your laughable Hoekstra and Staniuk examples, roundly ridiculed on that thread by most, examples totally underline the fact that you really don't have anything approaching a valid argument on this one.

No, I know your missus. She has the exct same view of you. Oh and you never did explain why we've signed no one yet. Are you still holding to the 'moron line' that our 'moronic managerial team' has been chasing unattainable targets who are dead set on a season in the Champions League? Or are you now advancing the 'Look at the state of Longton town centre with its plethora of smelly charity shops' argument? ;D And it's not just Sergei and Hooky. We've attracted SCORES (geddit?) of quality players over the years. Perhaps you should immerse yourself in one of Wade Martin's little tomes one day.

We've attracted SCORES (geddit?) of quality players over the ears. Perhaps you should immerse yourself in one of Wade Martin's little tomes one day. Football has changed Hudson. It isn't like it was in the 60s and 70s. I know that view is sheer heresy to you, that doesn't make it any less true. And yeah, I'm still running with "moron" stance as you put it. Any chance of some evidence for your stance yet rather than your little game of 2 + 2 = 467?

I know you are fairly thick, so I'll explain myself. If you think back on this board how some have said that if players read some of the comments on here about them it would be counterproductive, then if a player or players hear things they don't like on say SKY for instance , lets say being described as a 'Kiddie', we all know very well footballers have very fragile ego's, I'm not saying it would but it could piss them off. It may sound a bit mad, but you never know. H You know I am fairly thick do you? Have you met me? Have you any idea of my qualifications? Of my life experiences or are you making an ignorant assumption? I really can't be bothered arguing the toss with you being so blinded by your irrational hatred of Pulis, he has made you look more of a tit than I ever could so I guess I'll leave it to the other people here who find your comments equally as laughable The reason I know you are thick is twofold, and it has nothing to do with assumptions. A - You are from Yorkshire, fed on broth thick in head B- The rumours you suck off Davesviews cock daily and then defend him with no substance, has rendered anything you ever say on here laughable by all but a couple of headcases. I don't hate Pulis , but unlike you and a few others on here I don't think he can do no wrong. I think he can come across as patronising, if that hurts you inside then go and have a little cry I can't help you. H

Our transfer policy is dictated by the rapid development of our football club and our league position. 5 years ago we were celebrating survival in the Championship. Now we're attempting to break into the top 8 lof the Prem at a time when it has never been stronger.
To continue to progress we have to target Cole, Remy, Jones, etc. Remember Tone has consistently stated the same messages. Doesn't want to waste the Coates' money Bring in better than what we already have Stay in the Prem for 3 years to push on.
We could probably stay in the league with the squad he has built. Faye, Huth, Whitehead and to a degree even Beattie have taken us to this level. But the next jump is even harder. He is trying to compete with Villa and Everton as well as the likes of Sunderland and Fulham. Big clubs and the real posibility of European football.
It is Catch 22: without that kind of player, we cant take the next step - but without making the next step we can't attract that type of player.
Somehow he has managed to convince Etherington, Tuncay and Huth of his vision for the club. He has to try to do the same with these quality targets: convince them that this package of financial muscle and long term financial commitment, stadium and infrastructure development can take a provincial and relatively small club (relative to the top 8) to the next level.
You can see its a tough job.

When Pulis refers to 30+ year old players as kiddies it could be construed as a little bit patronising and belittling though. I'm 33 and if i was refered to by my boss as a kiddie, id...well......be a bit put out about it tbh That said, TP faired very well today
