The budget isn't tight, Stoke are always coy when it comes to mentioning transfer funds, if PC has funded Pulis 100 million on Ard workers he will back Sparky especially with the extra money from the new TV deal.

Pieters, brilliant?? He was shocking first half.

Rather than there being a limited budget might I suggest that the club are having difficulty finding a centre forward that fits the brief of being young and having great sell on potential whilst being a dead cert to hit the ground running and score us some much needed goals?

Biggest worry has to be that if we can't score goals and don't win matches then Hughes will come under huge pressure given his terrible start to last season with QPR
Quite simply if PC doesn't back Hughes then we might have well as kept Pulis as at least Pulis knows how to manage on a tight budget (and in many ways is best under such a scenario)

Perhaps because with the money we are prepared to spend and the salaries we pay they are as rare as rocking horse shit

Think we are all scrutinising a Liverpool 1-0 away defeat too much, money will be spent on the right players and come 5 o'clock next Saturday we will be sitting a little happier with 3 points on the board.

Should we really be worrying about palace, hull and Cardiff when we've been in the premier league for 6 seasons and spent 100 million on players. Surely we must have a strong enough squad after that

Great comment about us shopping in the Americas - something that really irks me. We should be looking in France, Germany and Holland where the transition to premier league football isn't such a massive step up in quality. Particularly for the positions we are looking to recruit in all of which demand high quality upon arrival whether this be goals as a centre forward or assists as a creative midfielder/winger.

my main worry with this change of style would be a loss of passion, but it was evident we didnt lose it. All else can be improved (ie with new signings)

Marco Fabian is a player who looks like he would improve us.

Demba Ba didn't get a game today... He was effectively 3rd choice behind Torres and Lukaku. If Chelsea get Rooney then surely Ba would be surplus to requirements? Do you think that bridge was burnt a long time ago after the whole medical debacle?

I thought we were pretty much the same yesterday as we were under Pulis. Walters and Etherington should be no where near our penalty area. It's no wonder we aren't effective in the final third. Of course, this all dismissing the fact that Etherington is past it and Walters is simply not good enough.

Of course, this all dismissing the fact that Etherington is past it and Walters is simply not good enough. Just for once I totally agree with you Cartman - Ethers is past it, and after initially supporting SJW I think he is nowhere near good enough for the Premier League. This season many teams seem to be splashing the cash to strengthen, and we are in real danger of stagnating or going backwards by keeping playing these level of players. Sort it out Stoke, and quickly.

I'm just trawling through some of the European leagues top scorer charts and no obvious candidate is jumping out at me. Cartwright et al. have a job on their hands but worryingly for me, Hughes always seems to sign one or two unheard of gems - what is stopping him this time around!?

A real possibility after their performance yesterday I think that we should try and hang on to Bego whatever the cost Get Butland out on loan to another Premiership club, with the option to recall him at short notice, then Bego will probably move on after this season
