owen, fernandes, steinson, diame, rodallega, klasnic all available on frees, we should be moving heaven and earth to get at least 4/5 of these free gems into our football club.
In my opinion we could have 2/3 times better squad at the start of the year actually having a positive net spend.
GEt the idiots of our wages for 1/2 million a piece, sign these on frees, use the 1/2 million on increased wages, and lets go for europe!!!!

Will Pulis want to sign a midfielder who will make most of our current midfielders look what they are, clueless?

Steinson? are you actually taking the piss? wouldn't take any player from Bolton even if they paid us! PS I agree with Manual Fernandes and Diame our midield would actually exist if we had two players like that. Can't see it though.

Fernandes is well suited to the Prem, but if Prem rules won't let us sign him, we will need to look elsewhere unfotunately.

steinson is in a different league to wilkinson and shotton, before you say a players wank compare him to what we have.
i would rather dave kemp play at rb than any of our current two.
Steinson plus another young RB (brayford, Clyne) would be enough for me, but i know pulis wont do that.

Steinsson is better than we currently have though and given the other areas that require big money spending on them, he'd be a decent addition in my opinion.

Maybe but most have relegation clauses and he has been out a while injured and i think i'm right in saying he was offered to us before Bolton.

Bolton's finances aren't very clever are they? Perhaps it won't take as much as I first thought?

He's been out a while and was just coming back into contention wasn't he, march? Nothing a good pre season shouldn't sort out (not that I think we'll sign him).

Fernandes is the best player we have seen against Stoke this season and by quite some distance.
I would love to think we would have noted how good he was and have already made enquiries to sign him but sadly, I think we all know that this won't be the case.
Pulis will barely be able to remember who he is and his performances won't have registered anywhere on Pulis mind.
He was far too good and far too positive for Pulis...sadly!

You really believe that Pulis wouldn't have noticed him bossing the midfield at the Brit? He may well not fancy him as a player but he would have had to be blind not to see what we all did. Give him some credit at least

Pulis did pick David Silva as his player of the season on MOTD. But he just doesn't recognise talent the useless Welsh prick.

He has multiple owners and the Prem has refused other clubs permission to sign him in the past. Why do you keep carping on about Pulis????

I'm not carping. Pulis is a c**t and I don't need to carp about anything. He is what he is and any idiot can see that.
Pulis wouldn't be interested in Fernandes and his performance won't have registered in his brain. It should have done and we should have been enquiring about his availability, ownership issues or otherwise, straight after our first game against them.
He may have voted Silva as player of the year but he would most likely openly admit that he wouldn't know how to utilise him in a team such as ours. Fuck me, he openly admitted to "not liking" Hoekstra and that it "took me some time to trust him and understand him".
What's to carp about?

His one dimensional approach to the game, his stubbornness, his failure to adapt and develop tactics? All fair criticisms but hardly makes him a cunt. What doesn't make him a cunt in my eyes...... .......restoring us to the top flight and securing our status amongst the top teams in the world. .....instilling a sense of pride in the shirt that had become a rarity and creating a team spirit far superior to many others. .....representing the club with class and decency. ......using his position of privilege to raise massive amounts for charity. ......rescuing players from obscurity who have become modern day legends. Fuller, Delap, Shawcross, Sorenson etc. Yes, he can be annoying, frustrating and incomprehensible. But he's hardly a cunt. Not your finest ever post.

I've got a reason.... Using and abusing his position to get away with a serious driving conviction! If that was anybody else who wasn't associated with SCFC everyone on here would have been calling him a c**t. Argument over ;D

Why is he a cunt? Do you know him? I have had the pleasure of his company a few times yes, all during his first spell with us as I was good friends with a member of his coaching team. I also get to know about some of the things that go on behind the scenes and my opinion is that Pulis is a horrible, vindictive bastard, who will stop at nothing to prove his point. All of that is irrelevant when it comes to discussing the job that he has done for our club. He can be a c**t but his is our c**t. The fact remains, that in my opinion, and back on track with the thread, Pulis would have little or no interest in Fernandes and his 2 performances v us wouldn't have even registered. We certainly haven't been back to watch him or monitor him since. Whether that is because we know he would be out of our reach or whether it is because we wouldn't be interested in such a player is open to debate. The answer is probably a "bit of both". Is that an OK enough answer for you apologists and thought police??? EDIT - foxy...I didn't realise that poster had to make every post a literary masterpiece! For me, Pulis has reached the end of his natural Stoke City lifespan and he needs to go. The sooner the better in my opinion. We have a big summer ahead and if we get it wrong again, as we did last summer, then serious questions need to be asked and ultimately answered.

I think that today is my first comment about Pulis since last week and the immediate aftermath of the end of the season! Hardly example of "keep going on about Pulis" is it? Why do you keep going on about how good he is when quite clearly he isn't? Liverpool are currently in the process of interviewing 91 football league managers in the hope of finding one they like and Pulis is the odd man out! Why?
