Stefan Effenberg not a fan of the move, it seems! Effenberg: Stoke? "Shaqiri is so ill-advised" Has no understanding of Shaqiris move to Stoke City: Stefan Effenberg Shaqiris move to Stoke City, I do not understand. If you go there, you are so ill-advised. You have to as an athlete but ask: "Where can I reach my sporting goals? That's the challenge. Schalke 04 would have been as awesome for Shaqiri. Shit to one or two million. When I was there three deserve and Stoke six, I opt for Schalke. Then I play in the Bundesliga, in a hot stadium back in Germany, at a hot club, I can bring up again. But Stoke City? My God, as I understand the players do not, the advisor does not, the parents and brother. I find it unfortunate and sad. Just because the wag with the money? Since I have sometimes the players question: Is money because for you all?He's bitter about only drawing 0-0 at the Vic that night.

Lots of people who know nothing about our club belittling us on social media.
This is the way to raise our profile though!

This really is a special day to be a Stoke fan. It's days like this that we all love the game so much for. It's the reason we suffer so much of the dross. It's the reason we sit soaked and depressed away at Gillingham, in the hope that one day something better will arrive and we'll have our moment in the sun. We go through all the low points just waiting for the good to arrive, and those very experiences make the good times all the worthwhile when they finally do arrive. We've been on an upward curve for a couple of years now and Hughes has slowly put together a brilliant squad of players. A team to genuinely excite the fans. A group we can all be immensely proud of. That's what we're all in it for. That's why we work the 9-5 jobs and go through some of the mundane routines we all have to do as part of the rat race. It's for that release of excitement at the weekend when we get to see our club play. This signing feels like it epitomises everything that Mark Hughes has been working towards since joining the club. Of course the journey started before him. Tony Pulis did the hard yards and dragged us out of the doldrums against all the odds. He gave Les a great platform to build on and Sparky has grabbed the opportunity with both hands. He's always talked us up and spoke of higher targets and expectations and true to his word, he has massively delivered. We've suffered some dire moments over the years. They all told us how crap we were. That we'd go straight back down. That we were a rugby team and that we'd never be a team worth watching. We've taken all the criticism and abuse despite most of it being unwarranted and wide of the mark. We've been the easy target of lazy journalism and in the words of that oh so brilliant 80s Donner film "This is our time." This is truly a fantastic day to be a Stoke City fan. This is our club and we are the people. I love this outstanding team of ours! From looking after our own (Wilko, Mama) to stuffing it to Wenger on an annual basis. We should be immensely proud of everything we stand for and all that we have achieved. Be loyal, be proud, be Stoke. Brilliant, sums it all up perfectly.

Most sites ive read at work today while pretending to work have had fans saying the same thing, we'll be interesting to watch and most of em are hoping we aren't in form when we play them... I've seen more then one post from Liverpool fans saying "thank fuck we've played them at their place already". Who would their defenders double mark if Arnautovic and Shaqiri are on their game on the same day? With Bojan in between them? ... it barely seems real. Bjarni had a trick or 2 once he stopped getting booed but.. fucking hell. This is unreal! If our midfield gets fit and fires on anything like the cylinders it has, a wet wednesday night at Stoke has got a whole lot more menacing

Just look 70% of the posts they make. All the easier for you to find an example then, no? If you're that interested find it yourself. I know many others on here agree.

It's only Stefan Effenberg before the watershed. After that, it's Stefan Fuckenberg. Dickwort.

Good value can be achieved by spending money agreed, as it can by not spending also. The problem i have is you seem to think everyone else has signed better players than we have, when none of them are proven or dis-proven at this level any more or less than our 8 signings? Why is Ayew better than Affelay, or Mitrovic better than Joselu?? Mitrovic has scored goals in champions league, ayew is at his peak whereas affely has only played a handful of games in 5 seasons... You can talk rubbish all you like you're obviously on the defensive as a poster has said we need to invest... The likes of payer, ayew, lens are better then the players we have brought in, all have proved it on international level and have played for better quality teams than stoke. Unproven at prem level... You can say that about every player on the content , does that mean they aren't as good as the players we have brought in because of it... Shaqiri shits on those players you've mentioned from a great height. In fact Shaq had to get on the space shuttle and take a dump from space he shits on them from such a height!

Us signing Shaqiri now, I see on par as us signing Hoekstra in league 1. Just as insane, but with no injuries and with youth on his side. Christ. Stoke City management people you deserve a big fucking pizza. Bill it to whereami, somewhere in Spain. Then concentrate on training that midfield into being as devastating as it could be!
