If ever there was a manager we could trust to sell a centre back at just the right time and bring in a much better replacement it would be Leslie surely? Track record speaks for itself.
Jonny Tex is completely off the books now isn't he???

I'm convinced that I've seen body language from Ryan that suggests he's fed up with Hughes's lack of proper organisation, so perhaps this story tells us that it's one or the other to go over the summer.

Not linked to the highest earner though. No way. What. So you think Imbula deserved more pay than Ryan ???? What are you on about? What has another player got to do with it?

Sell him and use the money to sign harry Maguire, job done. Bruno is now our no1 centre half, make him captain too. Is everyone 100% confident he'll be signing? I'm certainly not No not at all. Our end of season form might be a deciding factor.

What bit is hard to understand ? Why does he? It's up to his agent to negotiate the best deal and the same for Stoke City. Having him linked to the highest earner is ridiculous for a club like Stoke. It becomes a factor on every deal we try and do. Why would the club put themselves in that position again?

They can fuck right off IMO. Shawcross might not be quite the Goliath he once was, but he's not far off. Finding a replacement of his caliber, who could provide the same level of dependability, would cost an absolute fortune......and would be a massive gamble IMO.
Ryan is a club legend who deserves to be treated as such. He's got plenty left in the tank and there's no way I would want to see him on any opposition team.

Why are people assuming Imbula is our highest wage earner? I'd hazard a guess that Arnie, Shaq, Ryan and Jack earn more than him. Probably Bojan as well.

That's true but for a player entering the last year of his deal with an attractive offer elsewhere, often his price is significantly lower than his value. There's not going to be a bidding war. Know what you saying a bit like the zonz affair And Bego

Percy said his salary was "around 70k-a-week"If true wouldn't think there were many above that? He put Shaq's salary at around the same figure . And Arnie tooButland's new deal was said to double his pay to "over 50k"The reported figures in the Bojan deal don't age wellAt the time of Shawcross's new deal in 2013, Press Association had it at £45k and claimed he joined Crouch as our then top-earner

I cannot actually believe what I'm reading on this thread. There are people, presumably intelligent enough to operate a computer or phone all by themselves, who are advocating we sell one of our better players and a player who should have legendary status at the club. And not only that but are chilled about him being sold to a club that will inevitably be one of our rivals next year. Unfuckingbelievable.

I'd be very surprised if this is true but who knows with our current manager and transfer team. :/ How the club would sell it Christ only knows. This would just antagonise already perturbed fans. It has to be total bollocks but they have questions to answer about his contract now either way. Yeah something definitely needs to be announced in the summer that's for sure. Mind you if we aren't careful Shawcross could be a championship player by then anyway.

If Shaq is on 100k per week (I don't believe he is) as has been reported in certain circles, then Ryan will be on 100k as well, maybe even 101k.

His injuries have impacted on him but he is a valuable asset, a rock for this club who should see out his career here.
He is a stoke legend.
I can see us being in a battle to survive next season and newcastle will be down there too. I wouldn't want them having shawx whilst we labour on with whatever hughes comes up with

It would surely be crazy to offer anyone a deal of that kind, for a start it would severely limit our capacity to sign 'next level' players since in effect we would be doubling up on their higher wages.

Whilst he's no doubt had better seasons, and his best years likely are behind him, Ryan really is the cornerstone of Stokes adventure at the top table and his departure would be hard to take for many The big issue I see is if Stoke do actually consider letting him go as it would indicate they are keeping Hughes and allowing him to shape the team as he sees fit. That, combined with losing Ryan would surely make us favorites for the drop next year. A sad thought all round

Ryan Shawcross will be the top earner at the club for the duration of his existing contract. When penning a new deal in the face of interest from Spurs, Liverpool and Everton, his deal was one which saw his wages increased to match any new incoming player that had a salary greater than his. If Shaq is on 100k per week (I don't believe he is) as has been reported in certain circles, then Ryan will be on 100k as well, maybe even 101k. How do you know that? It would surely be crazy to offer anyone a deal of that kind, for a start it would severely limit our capacity to sign 'next level' players since in effect we would be doubling up on their higher wages. Why would it limit us? Ryan is our captain and when he signed his last two contracts he was our most important player by some distance. Since signing it, we've added bojan, shaqiri, berahino and imbula to our ranks and before thatwe added kenwyne, crouch and Palacios. Signing "next level" players hasn't been a problem at all. A bigger problem has been whether these next level players are actually next level players at all. In my opinion, we haven't got a single big money/high profile signing right as yet under pulis or Hughes.
