Another thread stunk up by the same 2 posters who literally have nothing better to do. Eh? It's been a decent discussion that evolved from talking about a potential player to what's happening with the midfield and what we need. That's how threads kind of work. EDIT- and "back and forths".....you mean a conversation, you know the point of this whole shenanigan.

I think he wants me to go get a job even though I don't need one, so I can't spend so much time on the Oatcake.

I think he'd be a hundred times better than whelan but I'd prefer more physical presence there. I'm assuming we need a player to play alongside JA or Imbula, despite being fiesty Joe doesn't have a huge physical presence and although Imbula looks built to offer more he doesn't seem inclined or know how to use it. We've got loads of midfielders and lots of people are writing them off for any other role than the most advanced one, I just think that's crap and they'd be fine if Whelan was younger, bigger, faster, had more energy in short a totally different player.

thank you for your meaningful reply however are you alster? I'm every one apparently. I just don't get it, there's a perfectly reasonable thread going on and then you and crownmeking jump in with this nonsense and act all high and mighty when you clearly have no concept of the point of the messageboard. It's just fucking weird. Anyway back to the midfield.......

You had a pop at me then crownmeking came steaming in complaining about my use of the message board. I use it to debate opinions with fellow Stoke fans like Bayernoatcake (who incidentally knows far more about our club than me) Its all kind of confusing.

I personally find it weird where a thread about a player didn't just deviate, it completely changed subject for 10 pages and never returned. I didn't have a "problem" with it if you cared to read it properly.

It shouldn't be a problem forget it. We shouldn't need to argue, just live and let live. Some of us like to dissect everything others are happy with just seeing how things pan out. Its only a message board and they're only opinions we type.

Decent player at small club moves to big club for large fee and wages.
Player doesn't play
Player wants to move to play football
Previous big fee and wages out of reach for most clubs.
All that's wrong in football

Unless like in the summer they'll mysteriously pull out? 100k is going to become the norm I feel for clubs our size for our best players in the next 2 years.

He's on £120k, that's virtually double our current limit. I doubt anybody currently at West Brom earns any more. It'd be a huge raising of the ceiling and creates a knock effect throughout the rest of the playing staff. I don't know how financial fair play works anymore but could a club of that size really sustain a wage ceiling at that level?

You're thinking about it logically. Nothing these Chinese football owners do seems logical. It doesn't. It's a farce, clubs get fined. It's pointless.

Get rid of Bony, Imbula and Shaqiri and use the money for Schneiderlin.
(If we can find anyone to take Shaqiri and Imbula)

Shaqiri is quality and could be playing at a higher level. However he's got something to prove at Stoke and once he realises that he has to do it week in and week out we could benefit big time. Hughes has already shown he's prepared to drop him - its up to him to show he's got what it takes to play at the level he wants to be at. Imbula is worth persevering with. He's definitely got quality but the best central midfielders take time to make the position their own. Far too soon to bail. Would certainly take Schneiderlin - but only if he's prepared to drop from the insane to the merely stupid wage category.

That would be a steal for West Brom, Pulis is really starting to progress them with some quality signings.
We are over-stocked in midfield so I can see why we arent in for him. But he is the perfect upgrade on Whelan.
I would sell Imbula to fund this for sure

Leicester are a little light in the centre midfield so would be a superb addition for us too, proven Premier League quality. We seem to be interested/linked, but not looking likely we'll sign him, I think it will be one of Everton or West Brom. We should be signing Wilfred Ndidi in January so might not bid for Schneiderlin, but you never know. To be honest, he's the type of player who would be a good fit for a majority of teams in this league.
