Yeh, cheers for that Tone.
The signing of Crouch and WP really was the beginning of the end.

Shows why we are cautious about medicals. Seems strange to me that we don't give him game time in the hope his knee will totally go, he has to retire, and we get the insurance money. Perhaps we couldn't get him insured.
Still a strange story.

I think £26,000 a week is very optimistic. I would think that for a player of his reputation coming from where he did, you're probably talking about double that figure.

He probably wouldn't be on the tour anyway, he's been on international duty, and will be due a few weeks off.

Palacios makes Kitson look like a bargain.

In fairness I don't remember too many folks saying they thought Palacios was a bad buy at the time.

Agree Gods, think it's hard to blame Pulis for this one really.

Even if its £26k per week that's still £1.35 mill per year! That really is cash we can spend elsewhere for greater return, if we're not going TP play him the quicker he's moved on the better. |

In fairness I don't think any of those folks were managing football teams in the premier league and to be fair I don't think there was any competition when Stoke agreed to pay £6 million for Palacios. |

When did Stoke City become exempt from paying Employers National Insurance contributions? It costs an employer a damn site more than the cost of the salary to employ somebody! |

Either spend some time and money on training him up to sell him or just fuck him off!

Why are people blaming Palacios? He agreed a contract. Why should he have to break that contract at his expense? Ultimately, whoever offered him a 4 year contract was wrong to do so. To expect Palacios to somehow forfeit a wage that he's been promised is barmy. Bankers don't... Politicians don't... You wouldn't... so shut up and deal with it.
I hope Palacios does play, because ultimately, he is costing us money and I think the best thing we can do is put him through intensive training and aim to bring him into the first team. Whether it's on the bench or whatever...

I'm amazed it's "only" 26k per week to be honest. In Premiership terms, that's not too much at all. I was expecting him to be on closer to 40k.

Fucking I pad. Balti, not Baltimore for fucks sake. You know, there's a very handy function on the messageboard which allows you to edit posts. and it really isnt an issue with your ipad, its just the predictive text function that's been around since basic nokia phones. and it can be disabled too, go to Settings > General > Keyboard. Select 'Auto Correction' and turn it OFF. It really doesn't need another post afterwards to explain the obvious mistake. Unless of course its part of your obligation to tell everybody you've got an ipad at any opportunity. It's like that joke that's been knocking around for a few years now. How do you know if somebody has an iphone/ipad? Coz they tell you about it every single f....g day. |

I do in general have a case of the Monday's Rob...but the extra post is indeed intolerable on any day of the week. It's no wonder this country is going to the shitter when the government continues to allow people to do it, instead of creating legislation to ban secondary, unnecessary posts and unjustified mentions of ipads and iphones. I'm just glad that Pulis was binned so I can focus my attention on the above instead of having to split it. Could get my main man Starkiller on the case too  |
