I can see him joining that long line of players who end up regretting thinking they could do better than Stoke. Especially if he ends up signing for someone like QPR or Fulham on transfer deadline day.

With the signing of Bojan I'm not sure we need him any more! I guess Arnie and Wingie will be the first choices for the wings, with Bojan and even Walters as back up. I even guess he will disappear for the African cup of nations so I must admit I'd rather see Redmond here if we are going to bring in one more.

What if Arnie ( god forbid ) got a serious injury ? The cheap bench player is then our 1st choice What if he has cost more than Arnie and is earning more per week? He may cost more than Arnie but stoke would have to pay him over 50k a week for him to earn more. From what ive seen & heard... only Crouch/Shawx earn more & now Diouf probably.

Reckon we'll get him late in the window on the cheap...or for what we originally offered before Liverpool set their price.
With our signings we are now in a position of strength whereas Liverpoolwith all their additions will want rid of him.

We should walk away, he wouldn't be a starter anyway with Arnie on the left, it's a lot of money for a bench player. What if Arnie ( god forbid ) got a serious injury ? The cheap bench player is then our 1st choice We have other areas in the starting 11 that would benefit from that kind of money, such as the right wing/forward, we have good enough cover for the left imo, if Arnie was to get an injury. Edit: mid table clubs our size can't and don't spend upto 7mil + what sounds like hefty wages on bench players.

I agree - it is a right sided striker (I can't call him a winger - we don't play with wingers) who we really need in the squad. Ideally he should be left footed and we don't have any of them out wide. Wingie, Bojan and Walters are all right footers, so none of them is a natural right sided striker. If Bojan doesn't play in the centre then he would be best used on the left not the right.

Assaidi is a good player, but he hardly could hold down a starting place last season when he was at Stoke. Because of this I was actually very surprised to learn we were willing to pay up to £7M for him! I don't know what would trigger the installments though, but £7M all in all still seems very steep to me for a player that I really can't see as more than a back up option next season!

Assaidi is better than back up. I know I'm in the minority here - but I think he's better than Arnie, much more accurate with his passes.

£45,000 is cheap as chips! I thought the days of us been tight were over. When you consider CJ is on £65,000 a week and what he is doing I think we should be snapping this guy up

There is no way Jerome will be on anywhere near that. We should walk away from The Assaidi deal. Why he thinks he's worth 45K a week is beyond me. When everyones fit I don't see him as a regular starter and we just can't afford to have players like that sitting on the bench. Offer Norwich 3 million and CJ and walk away from Liverpool.

Assaidi is a special player ....he's already proved that. He has oodles of skill and pace that can win a game on it's own.This is why the wages they are asking for are what they are. There is no doubt in my mind that Assaidi is much better than Redmond and I have little doubt that Sparky does too , hence the prolonged negotiation .i also think that if he can stay injury free he will get better. Redmond is quick and skillful but the accuracy of his final ball is poor....very poor . I'm sure that Sparky will hang on for as long as he can to get Assaidi. Whether he does or not remains to be seen.

If he did sign, would he get into your starting XI for the first game of the season?

If he did sign, would he get into your starting XI for the first game of the season? Well...I suppose it depends if Bojan is happy to play on the wing and if he's up the job , but in essence I probably would play Assaidi. I think the key to our success this season is playing Bojan in a position and role that he's comfortable with ,whilst not cramping Diouf in any way . The problem is that in Bojan we have an unknown quantity at the moment and a lot will hinge on his performance .... We known that Assaidi can produce the goods but is somewhat of a luxury on the wages he's asking for.

Whether he does or not remains to be seen. Assaidi is very skilful, has a cracking shot on him and is pretty quick off the mark, he's also one footed, lightweight, inconsistent and very predictable (if any opponent had done their research they'd know that he cuts inside every time) I'd have him here as a squad player but I don't think he's guaranteed to be starting every week and we're being robbed if we end up paying £7m for him. We should leave it right until the last minute of the window when Liverpool's asking price will drop (there is no way he's going to feature for them this season and they'll want him off the wage bill) so we can pay him a bigger signing on fee and a sensible wage. If he thinks he can do better then we should move on, I don't see other clubs queueing up to sign him and it's his loss not ours.

Kenwyne was great in his first season but TP never played him regularly again once Crouchy was here, it's no surprise he got fed up and lost interest.
