There are a few digs in there at how things are at Stoke these days, are there not? The sale of Huth will go down as the biggest bollock dropped by Hughes in terms of player departures. I think there in digs in both players tweets I was thinking the same thing myself.

Possession of the ball i.e. we have more possession than any Pulis team ever will, if we have the ball our defence by default is under far less pressure simple enough. Right, so goal difference isn't THAT important. You asked for an explanation I gave you a perfectly reasonable answer and you come back with that

We've had better finishes since huth left! People seem to think if huth was here we''d win the league, if he was so vital, boro' woulda won the prem when he was there.

Huth was class and however its painted it was a bollock to let him go. Everyone will admit it one day. Its like the old Demba Ba thing. At first it was like...nah his knee will go but a couple of hat tricks and goalscoring seasons later....yeah...bollock dropped. Dosnt mean TP or Hughes are shit and no need for the over the top stuff....it just happens sometimes...a dropped bollock!

The sale of Huth was probably one of the biggest bollocks dropped EVER by a Stoke manager particularly as no reasonable replacement has been obtained.What many are forgetting is that SHAWCROSS already had a significant back problem in Jan 15 long before the Huth sale. Also to suggest the goal difference is similar is extremely misleading. WHen Huth was playing the full backs were players such as wilson, wilko, danny collins and even woodgate ffs- the club has invested significantly in full backs since then and nobody can argue that pieters and johnson are not a massive upgrade on what we had at full back 2-3 years ago. If Huth had played for most of this season IN THIS TEAM the goal difference would have been substantially less- HUTH or WOLLSHITE- NO CONTEST AT ALL

It shouldn't surprise anyone that jon Walters isn't a fan of trying to play football.
He's made a career, and a very good one at that, of being a footballer whose best attributes involve not having the ball.
Pity it was huth that left for Leicester and not Walters.

In Greenhoff's case it was neither the player nor the Manager who decided he would be going to Man Utd. The Board made that decision and neither Waddo nor Jimmy had any choice in the matter and they both sat down and cried at the news. Very different times they were in the 70s.

It was a massive fuck up getting rid of Robert Huth
Whether there is an 'explanation' or not is a complete irrelevance, whatever it is it's not good enough.
People need to stop pretending otherwise.

What a fool you are with your stupid childish remarks about a player who both international and club managers have continued to pick. A player who played (and continues to do so) a significant part in cementing our position in the richest league in the world, a European adventure and cup final. Hey ho carry on spouting utter shite. You could seek support from our Chairman who I'm sure would concur with you opinion on his past, present and potential value to SCFC ????????????????????

Greenhoff was sacrificed to cover the cost of the uninsured roof, Stan was sold after an argument with the manager, be nice to know why Huth was sold certainly not for financial reasons could it be he same reason Stan was sold all those years ago ?
