I can't see us getting another winger, so based on that I think we should do our upmost to keep him here for another 2 years. I can. 2 years on top of the 1 he has left? That'd be depressing. But then the other contract extensions I've mentioned above are equally short sighted. he's an hard worker, who's never afraid to get stuck in. Like I said a vital part of our team.

Think Odemwingie signed a one year, two max. I think Walters could back up for another year or two well, but hasn't he said he wants starts? Or is that us putting words in his mouth? not sure mate but if you have shaqiri/arnautovic & bojan as the other 2 walters would compliment them well imo as a starter in a fair few games, we had a hood season last year and he was involved a lot so it seems daft just to sell because someone is bidding. He still offers a lot for me Agreed, he has a place here and can do well this year. But if he wants to start somewhere else I think stoke should let that be his choice, considering all he's done for us. 1.5 is a bit short,

John's been great for Stoke and I love his work rate but when watching highlights he is to blame for a number of goals we have conceeded! I think he will go to whoever offers the longest contract and I don't think it will be us! Bye and thank you you have been a great servant for Stoke city Fc!

10+ goals a season on the right for 1.5 million, don't think so. Sorry buddy but that's horseshit. He's never scored 10+ league goals for us. In fact his record is 8. It would be fair to say he's bordering on fucking hopeless in front of goal.

Ten a penny in the lower leagues. And it's doing him a dis service. And great lads that give 100% aren't needed for the wing.

This isn't commenting on John as a player but when people quote his goal record they're talking shit the majority of goals he has scored are from the spot and he still misses a fair few. He is far from a natural goal scorer

2 years ago I wanted Walters and Whelan out as did a lot of fans. But every year they prove me wrong and deserve s place on the pitch if not squad. This is a real tough one as I sense Walters is a real club man and his presence in the sheds is as strong as it is on the pitch. I think we need his character at the club as his enthusiasm and never say die attitude motivates others. I think that's why Hughes is reluctant to sell. He's also smart by saying that we want him which pushes any bids for him upwards.

All a bit at odds with bowens comments this week about SJW value to the team .
For me Wilson and Walters need to stay as part of the essential continuity .

Because you will never, ever convince that wingers need to be good lads that work 'ard. I prefer crossing, the ability to run quick and beat a man, shit like that!

Because we already have a fuck load of old players contracted until they're drawing their pensions and we don't need any more. I'm happy with him for another year but his contract shouldn't be extended. And if we could get 3m for him then it'd be rude not to!

Completely different situation. I think the 2 year contract was a bit excessive though, should have been a year.

Have you ever watched Walters play ? If you think he's any of those three you clearly haven't. He can do many things (scores a few goals, winds the fuck up out of the opposition-his best trait, occasionally bullies defenders, half decent finisher). But pace, the ability to beat a man and crossing aren't in his repertoire.
