Why do we wait until the last minute to buy players , We get the right deals for the club bollocks with a few exeptions we haven't got the right deals for the club we bought average players at best

I think they just can't be arsed, it is so simple to sign players they could do it anytime, I don't know why they wait until the last minute

I hate to say it but some people's perception that its penny pinching probably ain't far from the truth. We do seem to take an eternity with most of them don't we.

It would be too easy. As Stoke fans it's our lot in life that we have to suffer.

It is very frustrating! I,m sick of looking and hoping, and getting nothing. We have a squad that I don,t think is anywhere near good enough. Why, oh why don,t the club do something about it? Surely they want to stay in the prem. As it looks at present, I just don,t see it. The forward line and midfield need improving there,s no doubt about that.

Because we want to buy players with little or no compitition, players that need to move,cheaper fees, lower agent fees, it's a fantastic strategy and is the reason why we currently have a squad of players that nobody wants to buy. Genius' arn't we.  |

There is a reason players are still sat on the shelf at this stage of the window with little interest.

To be fair in the past we've signed some players late on who've done very well for us and certain players don't become available til late on, but I was hoping we'd be a bit more proactive this time round.

It's also to do with our "attractiveness" as a club - unfortunately, some better players will hedge their bets until the last minute to try and invoke a bidding war out of last minute desperation - of course this can back fire on the individual, but with many in the media (ignorantly) tipping us for the drop some won't commit pen to paper until they're certain that there's not another few grand to chisel out of the deal.
Unsavoury, mercenary and fuckin' annoying but we just have to be patient.....
I'd personally prefer to see more on-loan with view to buying later but dunno whether those deals are easier or harder....

Big surprise. New Manager usually gets some brass and wants a couple of good early signings (Shirt sales/season tickets) I dont think Hughes' activity in the market has lead to a rush for tickets or shirts
Worrying
