Arnie & Ramadan out wide, I would think. If we can upgrade our full backs, that has the makings of a very good side. Maybe my maths is off. 2 strikers, a number 10, 2 wingers and 2 full backs. Are you suggesting we only have 1 central midfielder? Bera OR Diouf

Gentlemen, this is the player The Oatcake has decided needs fucking off at the earliest opportunity.The walking sick note who thinks he is too good for Stoke. Remember? As you have all said, there is no substitute for class and quality. We need a bit more of it in the middle of the park. But if he's never fucking fit he's no use to us

I don't care what people say about Arnie or Shaq. They're our best players and if we lose them then we're royally fucked.

He set up our goal Johnson was alert enough to play him in getting the very best out of his speed and skill We need to do more of this for Shaqiri, Arnie and Berahino who have a good change of pace and are caught offside when such a pass is delayed Not a fan of him falling over to try and win a free kick

He's clearly got some talent no doubt about it but his attitude is disgusting. You can have all the skill and pace in the world but without pride and passion you're not worth a bean.

I thought Arnie looked like he wanted it more first half..........second half he was more of a passenger and totally disappeared for the 45
Shaq put in a great cross for the goal and pulled out some nice tricks second half close to the boothen.....Plays 1 in 3 games over a season and gives 5-10 minutes of quality in that 1 game, a great footballer but a player whos overall contribution we can ill afford at a club like Stoke.
I would rather have a player who is 85% of the ability that is Shaq but who will give us 100% in every game of the season, someone we can rely on especially when we have coaching staff that are unable to pick their best and stable 11 first team players

It's got to be Arnie Shaq and Ramadan behind Berahino IMO. I don't see why Hughes won't do it. Ramadan has shown he can be brilliant and do the defensive side very well and Shaq has proved he likes to come inside and play 1-2's and link up. He's also too often reluctant to beat his man on the outside. Berahino won't go creating chances from nothing but once he gets them, he will put them away. These 3 in those positions I'm sure would be our most creative option.

I was up to eyeballs in vodka when I read your reply and it took me twenty minutes to work out which one of us had the numbers wrong

Shaqiri's a bit like my old Alfa Spyder..very classy & very unreliable. Only goes when it feels like it (usually when it's sunny & warm). Great fun but not something I'd rely on. Couldn't have put better myself I've just got rid of my 2002 Alfa GTV for the same reasons.Gorgeous when it goes but mostly an unreliable pain in the arse 😉

He will go to somewhere like roma or fenerbache and score and create great goals
He will get a Sun tan and earn millions
To be honest that's probably better for him, than getting millions for throwing sickies, dodging the rain, the cold and 50/50 tackles in the potteries

There seems to be a growing cliché now that we're doing badly, that all of our creative or attacking players are somehow not arsed, and I have no idea where it's come from, because I only see that in Imbula (more thickness than laziness). The bloke's been fantastic in pretty much every game he's played this season, you can say his injuries are a worry, but saying he shirks the cold and 50/50 challenges is just unsubstantiated bollocks.

Thank you for this. Any foreign/skilful player who goes through a difficult period is automatically condemned as being lazy and/or uninterested, whereas a British player is simply "off-form"

Not at all, its a thought that makes me shiver in all honesty Walters does not have 50% of Shaqs skill out on the wing BUT.......... I think Walters has given and is still giving a million times more commitment to the cause than shaq ever has, his service to the club has been exemplary since we signed him from Ipswich all that time ago, he has more goals per games ratio over his 8 years or so at the club, he has given better overall value for his wages and fees, he is more appreciated by the fans (probably not by the JCL's) and will be known as a player that we enjoyed through the good times of a promotion and an FA cup run and has probably done enough to become a club legend. Walters is head and shoulders above Shaq as a club servant Its not Walters fault that he gets picked for the wing......look at the management team for that.

I do agree with that, when we look back on this golden period Walters will certainly be viewed as one who put in the hard miles and stood up to be counted. Oh and 50 Premier League goals for a team who can barely buy a goal at all at times ain't too shabby either All these other allegedly talented attacking players we have at our disposal don't come anywhere near that total if you add the whole bloody lot of them together

Jack Butland Geoff Cameron Ryan Shawcross Charlie Adam Glen Whelan Peter Crouch John Walters All great servants to the club over the last few years but (albeit a couple of names on the list) are all looking a bit jaded for this level and should by now have been swapped out for a newer and more up to date model, it comes as a worry when Geoff Cam is looking our star player in midfield. Oh well, I still 100% dont think we will go down but we do need 1 win and 1 draw to put them demons to bed and put the crowd at rest as the new breed of natives at SCFC can get a little irate if things do not go to plan.
