If Savage thinks we've done good business thus far, he obviously doesn't read this board.

I Think it's slightly unfair for people to throw the qpr mistake back at Hughes, I think there's been enough published since then to show the was a lot more going on behind the scenes at qpr that was out of Hughes control and a lot of the big name signings weren't actually 'his'. He's done enough for me these last couple of years to say he's a quality manager, but it doesn't mean he isn't going to make mistakes, or that some of the signings aren't going to work out (but that happens at every club!) I just hope if we have a bad start people don't start to turn on him!
i wish we could deflect some of the negativity on here, as I think we are in a really good place at the moment and yes there have been disappointments over the course of the close season, but I think we need to see how these new players bed in and where we are by the end of the window (plus there's the January window still to come!!) I pray to god we don't lose on Sunday as I really couldn't bear coming on here....I mean last season started badly and that turned out well in the end! I hate to lose too, but we aren't Chelsea, we are not going to win most weeks! I go onto hibernation when we lose!!!

It wasn't many weeks ago he wanted Hughes to move to West Ham. He's just a wind up merchant.

Well, we'll not know that yet really The biggest boo boo was the club coming out and raising expectations about superstar signings these guys we've signed may be absolute dross.......they also may well be superstars in the making we just need to be patient and support them to the hilt Tbh fraise I don't think the club announced any of these proposed signings Taken from the The Sentinel, Mark Hughes : "the chase goes on for a superstar signing" "Goes on"

Savage is a fucking idiot... He hasn't a clue. 7th? that's a mighty high outlook to be honest and I'm no doom and gloom merchant... 9th - 12th seem more likely... A cup run, I cant easily see that that's a no brainer... but of anyone he's been wrong on stoke 100% of the time... in our first two seasons he had us tipped to bow out... lol No he's a johnny come lately and likes us because of our new manager...

If you think Savage is an idiot for suggesting 7th how would you describe this Stoke City Legend www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/33774010

Anyway I'm not disputing the fact that the club have said we are hoping to sign top players .

Is it possible, yes. Is it likely? probably not... I'd be happy with a decent cup run and trying as hard as we can to do better than 9th but I honestly think well be somewhere just around that or just lower.

Savage has sucked his finger and stuck it in the air. Four of the players we could start with on Sunday (MVG, Butland, Joselu and Affalay) have barely kicked a ball between them in this league. But we've lost three of our crown jewels. As I've said before, if we win the equivalent of the footballing lottery and they all adapt and gel, we could be easily looking at our highest finish. The reality is that they might not and we'll struggle. Nobody knows, but I'm optimistic we're too good to go down and we'll be seeing some good football.
