There's no chance we can replace his worth to our team for the money he cost. Just adds to the aura that every now & then someone comes along, joins Stoke City, and makes such an impression that is not seen again for many a moon.....a once in a decade player Like Pericard???

In a small way I hope he does leave for a bigger club, to show the Arnie knockers what utter bilge they've been spouting all of this time.
I then hope we spunk £12m on a massive pedigree replacement for him, someone in Shaqiri's mould would fit the bill. Hmmm.

Arnie will move I agree for football or money reasons is the question,why people have to bring SJW into the discussion I don't know,he has been out for a few weeks and was most proberley not match fit,that's what people say when our 12million pound ice skater plays,but SJW did lay on a pass for our 18million pound super star to score to win the game sorry he missed and with him costing 18million he must be good. Oh I agree re Walters you could tell he wasn't at all fit and he was wank with it. Not having a go just surprised people thought he played well. I agree with you there was not need for people to mention him.

Hes pretty much the primary reason why I go watch them presently
(Probably the nearest thing we'll ever have to an Eric Cantona or George Best in the modern era)
World class ability - precocious talent - mesmerising at times - frustrating as hell too -- mind!
So much talent - the games perhaps is sometimes too easy for him
Definitely a level above us presently
Maybe - deserves a bigger, better, stage than what we are presently offering.
And those who knock him, merely display a frankly laughable, lack of acumen about whats true skill in the game
and Frankly, I'll be gutted if / when we lose him
He is someone we have been privileged to watch - long may it continue !

What's more worrying is next season when we don't have him (fingers crossed). I fear a long hard season next year I really do.

He's a fantastic player but we're not a one man team and I genuinely feel we'll get some big signings in come August if the rumblings on here are anything to go by. With the likes of Bojan, Shaq, Ryan and Imbula hopefully having full pre seasons behind them and the likes of Johnson and Jack back from injury with a bit of luck I see us being a lot stronger. Injuries are my biggest concern for next season not the team. I really hope Arnie stays as he is our best player but we've got a very good scouting system and some excellent players already. With better luck with injuries I'm convinced we'd be 5th or 6th now.

Enough about Jonny Walters - he'll be even better when fully fit.

I'd dearly love to see what it is others see in Walters I really would. What I do see is him losing the frigging ball most of the time he gets it, that's if we're fortunate enough to actually catch him onside.

I take it Arnie still has another year on his contract cant we just let him go on a free end of next season ?? He cost 2 million ?? We would have had our monies worth ....if he goes this summer what would we really expect 7-8 million ?? Its not all about money now with the riches of the prem I mean in the last few weeks we have potential lost 4-5 million falling 3 places with poor performance and attitudes....

Should we read anything in him being part of the kit release?
Normally persons that the club think are off.. Aren't apart of the kit release. Thoughts?

I love how people try and guess who's leaving based on who's taking part in the kit promotion.

Doesn't mean anything. Ok.. But does it mean the club knew they were off and decided to use them anyway? Or does it mean the club thought they could hold on to them...? In N'zonzi case it was pretty clear were planning on letting him leave as we didn't have a suitable replacement lined up. Doesn't mean Arni won't leave mind... Just wondering if it's the club way of showing intent to keep him.

A bloody annoying, frustrating genius.Great at getting back to help in defence, and a joy to watch when he's in attack mode. As good as it get when he feels like playing, but tends somehow suddenly stop playing.Annoying as he is, I would hate to see him go. He's not irreplaceable, no one is, but replacing him will be difficult and expensive.

The older he grows the more mature he gets, next season is his big decider. I think he is borderline 'big club'. We do need to pay him what he wants as finding a replacement is going to be hard work. Family upheaval? Up to you Mr Scholes.

Actually, Marko, do you know what happened to Kitchener? He drowned when his ship struck a mine en-route to Russia, that's what. That travelling lark sounds a bit dangerous; you'd be better off not going anywhere and staying right where you are, safe and sound in Stoke-on-Trent. Yeah, that's it. Stay in Stoke. It's for your own good, you'll see.

Was never a great lover of Arnie at first but a earlier post said we are not a 1 man team .Yes we are without him we are completely clueless there's no other player week in who comes anywhere near him,I'll go one more and say I'd make him captain
