Just asking like. How come he's always fit for Switzerland, but never fit for us? More oxygen in the air in Switzerland. And as we all know oxygen is good for injured players. Perhaps Shaq would like to live there permanently. The only interesting thing I was ever taught by my geography teacher (and I really can't be arsed to check if it's correct), is that Mow Cop is the highest point on that particular line of latitude until you get to Moscow. Can we not find Shaq a house in Mow Cop?

I don't get why people are so quick to accuse Shaq of exaggerating injury and lying to his employers, surmising that he doesn't want to play for Stoke. Steven N'Zonzi did not want to play for Stoke and handed in request after request to be transfered -- yet he is seen as a hero.
Shouldn't be so quick to judge Shaq, he is probably as frustrated as we are that he has not been fit and playing more a part

N'Zonzi irrespective of whether he wanted to leave Stoke or not played week after week to a very high standard. Very professional approach. Shaqiri doesn't play week after week. Then suddenly becomes fit to play for his National Team. Need I say more?

It doesn't need 11 pages.
Half decent offer, sod him off.
End of.

We were all expecting him to play against Chelsea, he was at the training ground and travelled to the Brit and wasn't for whatever reason selected.

Shaq is not the player we hoped he'd be, clearly talent in there somewhere but injury prone and no where near consistent enough when he is fit. Get him sold and bring in a young pacey winger who can terrorise defenders like Arnie can.

Well if lazy arsed oatcakers could be arsed to listen to Bowen's pre match interview against Chelsea then then people would know why he wasn't selected instead they prefer to talk bollocks!

It's not about the Chelsea game in isolation, its about his apparent brittleness and his unwillingness to put himself through minor discomfort to play for Stoke. Note he didn't have a muscle tear not even a strain but he made such an issue out of some tightness that he wasn't picked to play. How many players play through muscle tightness and indeed minor niggles week in week out, but not our Shaq. Excellent player but I'll say it again he's as soft as a jellyfishes cock!

How do we not know that's the managements team doing in order to protect him or at least trying to?

What did Bowen say? I'd rather cut my eyes out with a rusty knife than listen to Radio Stoke tbh. He basically said that Shaq had been training well, after his first calf injury, then he had a problem with the other calf, which then had cleared up the week before the Chelsea game so he started back into full training, But the management team thought it would be better to send him away with the Swiss squad and do another weeks training and maybe play, I am pretty sure Bowen also said Shaq wasn't confident enough to play against Chelsea because these injuries keep popping up(or something along those lines)

We need to find a regime for him that limits these sorts of things. We really do. He's too good to just get rid of.

I totally agree, I would rather us get to the bottom of his continuing calf injuries, rather than follow the oatcake kangaroo court and f*&k him off! he is far to good a player, and when he plays he creates chances as my eyes & the stats tell us!

Again I don't know where this fad of calling out a player for being injured has come from, hardly his fault is it? Even less so calling him out for happening to come back for international duty. When picked he's one of our most creative players and we look a better side for him.

He's injured so can't play for stoke but a few days later kicks a ball for his country. Its a farce. The guy is not a low wage yet he's taking the club for a mug.
