Hey guys, New poster on the board but I've been reading for a long time. The reason that finally got me to join is the fact we appointed Hughes. I'm concerned about him, the fact he hasn't done anything noteable in his last two jobs at all! Here's hoping he will be a success, I just don't think he's the right man for the job. Hopefully he brings in some decent signings though, time for 'hard working' players to be swapped with players who have ability. You say he's done nothing notable in his last two jobs. He got Fulham to 8th - which is 3 places better than what we have ever managed in the Premier League. You obviously have very high standards - I'd be delighted with 8th place this season and I expect a lot of Stokies would feel the same way. Was talking about City and QPR mate.

Welcome tentacle (how easy it would be to spell that differently ![:))](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/jitsPgqXBozY69AOPrPg.gif) - thanks for signing up, hope you enjoy it here and stick around - any probs please PM me or one of the other mods. xxx Sally Honestly I think anyone who's not concerned about Hughes has something wrong with them. But he does have the calibre and won't throttle himself pretending to be a perennial underdog - there's a chance at least and I'm feeling increasingly ok to give him one.

People always seem to forget he did a decent job at Fulham in between.

I quite like Shelvey too,but didn't want to say anything. I think there's a good player in there.

Can't pass, can't shoot, can't control the ball.

Was doing better at MAN CITY (they aren't the only team with city in their name) than Mancini managed that season.

Hey buddy. Welcome aboard! You'll get shot down in flames for being concerned about Hughes, I made a similar point regarding him becoming our manager. Two signings I hope we make are Phil Bardsley and Jonjo Shelvey, got abuse for suggesting them but they'd be massive upgrades on the current squad, we're Stoke FFS. not Man City. ![:))](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/jitsPgqXBozY69AOPrPg.gif) Shelvey adds an eye for a pass as well as a goalscoring threat, Bardsley adds pace and power down the right and would form a good partnership with Walters, one problem Walters has had this season is that he has had to go solo due to having no RB bombing past him, Bardsley would allow this and would come cheap due to his falling out with Sunderland. Hahahaha Shelvey!!! We may not be Man City, but we're not fucking Barnsley either mate! Shelvey is a half decent, mid table, championship forward, no better than that, never has been, never will be. Shelvey is not a forward, he's a CM primarily; he played up top a couple of times because they were short on forwards (Suarez banned and they hadn't bought Sturridge yet)
