Spending a record £18m on this guy when we need cover elsewhere seems ridiculous to me.
We need a defensive midfielder. We only have one.
We also follow a policy of looking to sign top quality players when they become available at the right price. They clearly like what they see in Imbula and it is a signal of our intent to move onto the next level.
Maybe the right players to provide 'cover' for the wings, CB, etc were just not available at the right price.
The progress made in terms of our style and attractiveness to potential signings is immense and this transfer epitomises that.
Well done Stoke

Good stuff Stoke. Got to trust Hughes given his record here.
Am I the only one who wonders why we had to give them .3 million on top of the 18? Haha.

Makes a few criticising Uncle Peter for not spending look very foolish.

I feel embarrassed whenever I read Tony's posts. Embarrassed on behalf of all his family, friends and acquaintances. Imagine having a rampaging, brick-headed bucket of haddockslop like that in your everyday life. I usually just feel a bit confused. I wonder does he speak like he types. SHOUTING....then whispering.....THEN SHOUTING.....before going quiet....then SHOUTING ABOUT SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT. I have to confess I quite enjoy trying to understand his posts. They're a bit like those magic eye posters where the image is hidden and you have to somehow try and see it amid the stuff that makes no sense.

We found him in a club down in old Porto Where they eat sardines that taste just like John West tuna T-U-N-A tuna. He flew up to us, we put him in the midfield We asked him his name and he flashed us a smile that said Imbula Gianelli Imbula. Imbu-bu-bu-bula.
We all know we're the world's most passionate fans But when he scored on his debut and he started to dance Oh my Imbula! Imbu-bu-bu-bula. Well we're not dumb but we can't understand How he can run a like Fuller but defend like Whelan Oh my Imbula! Imbu-bu-bu-bula. Gianelli Imbula.
When we make Champions League and dance all night Under the glare of these floodlights We'll pick him up along with Uncle Pete And say "look what you've done for my Stoke City!" Well we don't live the world's most fashionable life But when they watch him play, well they all fall for our Imbula Imbu-bu-bu-bula. Gianelli Imbula. Imbula. Imbu-bu-bu-bula. Gianelli Imbula. We're Stoke City. Give him the Ballon D'Or Give him another ten more Cos he plays for Stoke City The greatest football team the world has ever seen
And that's the way that I want it to stay I always want to see him play that's Imbula Imbu-bu-bu-bula. Square pegs round holes, round pegs square holes It was a mixed up muddled up shook up line up until Imbula Imbu-bu-bu-bula.
Well I left you just a week before But Stoke City are back so I'm back for more Imbula smiled when we first sang him this ditty He knows he got lucky when he signed for Stoke City
Well we're not the world's most glamorous club But we come from six towns and that's six times the love All fFor Imbula Imbu-bu-bu-bula. Gianelli Imbula. Imbula. Imbu-bu-bu-bula. Gianelli Imbula.

I feel a bit sorry for him because unless he can run as far as SJW, is as fast as Moses, can pass like Glen Hoddle, shoot like Charlie and score like Lampard he is going to get slaughtered on here!
