No quotes or anything in that article, but lovely if true. Assaidi, diouf, bardsley would be an all right start of the window. We're in may, and we are signing pace and fullbacks all over the place. Tony must be shaking his mighty head.. An alright start? We'd be pretty much done wouldn't we? They're the three priority positions ticked off. Any other business really is down to who goes you'd think?

As far as Assaidi goes this thread seems to be one of extremes. He's a good player but can be hit and miss and his decision-making at times can be infuriating. He's quick though (can only assume march hasn't taken his tablets there), has a great shot on him and worries defenders so while I might possibly have preferred someone like Redmond, a sensible fee for Assaidi makes sense.

When has sense had anything to do with Marches thinking? He thought Mama Sidibe was a footballer ffs!

I don't care how much we pay for him, it's not my money. If the board deems it acceptable then it must be. So 'the board' never get valuations wrong. Were you not bothered about paying 6-8 mill for Palacios The more we waste the less we have to spend. I think he's a good ( potentially very good} young player 'but I don't want us to be mugged off by the likes of Liverpool.

Hughes would have seen him in training so he'd know realistically how much we should be paying for him.

Not a great goalscorer, but very good at keeping the ball up and make his team mates better too!

Rather have Assaidi playing for is than an rival team. He is a quality player who can change a game.

Assaidi will sign for stoke in the morning Great news Marc. Any news whether Diouf needs a permit. He signed a pre contract, spoke to someone about a work permit, they seem to think he does not need one, due to his marriage to a European woman, and he has work within the EU for so long, but that's just that persons view. All I know is he won't be revealed as a stoke player for at least 2 weeks

He is already integrated into the dressing room & is up to speed on what Sparky requires, he will be costing less than £5mil i am sure of that so for me its a no brain er, especially when you factor in that Bardsley & Diouf (everything crossed) have cost nowt in fee's!!

And at the time did the board listen to the vast majority who said that crouch wasn't worth it? No? It's pretty obvious that they have learned from that mistake and won't be leaned on to much by Hughes or any future manager again.

So after today, I would not expect any news for two weeks

Any other business really is down to who goes you'd think? We still need a right winger don't we? Arnie is best on the left. Ozzie is best on the left. Odemwingie is best in the middle. Walters is best in the middle. Shea is Pele so can play anywhere but yeah.... I'd say we need a right winger.

That just sounds like a bollocks reason for not announcing it.

We can swap the two wingers in terms of flanks and it'll be fine. Arnie and Ossie as the starting two with appearances for PO or JW as the need arises.

Arnie and Ossie as the starting two with appearances for PO or JW as the need arises. He looked fine but he's better on the left and links well either full back over there. I'd rather see Arnie starting most games (dependent on form of course) on the left with Assaidi as cover with an actual right winger signed too. I thought the right hand side was a bit of a cluster fuck last season and I aren't convinced yet that it won't be this season. Seeing Bardsley in people's teams makes it look a worse side but we shall I guess.

Cover-wise, given the budget, we're in 'do a job' territory and even if Arnie is better wide left he's still very good wide right from what I've seen. It's hardly like Pulis sticking Ethers there despite him having no right foot!

If Diouf takes the striker position, it'll be interesting to see who gets more games between Assaidi and Wingie (and we still may see Hunt turn up?) assuming Arnie has nailed down one of the wide roles.
Jon boy could be relegated to cover for the cover?

It's hardly like Pulis sticking Ethers there despite him having no right foot! He was already here I guess and Bardsley is just as bad. I was expecting better. Given the budget, I hope we aren't blowing it all on Assaidi! We were crying out for a good right back and right winger for most of last season. And we still haven't got one! And I don't want my best attacking talent playing in his second best position tbh. We need to compliment him not move him around to accommodate someone like Assaidi.

Any other business really is down to who goes you'd think? Still another centre back for me. Muniesa will probably deputise at both left back and centre back and Wilson is still a stop gap really. If Lescott signs soon then that'd do me.
