We have to. We cannot rely on Shaq and would be too much pressure on Verlinden and Ramadan |

Spending a lot of money does not grantee a good player,our best players have cost a fraction of our failed super stars.Getting the right player is the most important thing.

It's getting the right player in. Arnie cost 2m. We just need to unearth another gem. Ramadam may be it but I'd like another couple of options aswell |

We will bring players in to make us a better TEAM. I have no doubt about that.

This is an excellent return on our initial investment! He critisized Stoke for not being ambitious and chooses to sign for West Ham. I don't know the man at all but it tells me that he mustn't be very bright. Likewise his greedy brother! This is a great deal for Stoke and if we can get £15m for Imbula it gives us the means to invest the £39 million in new players for our squad especially defenders and creative midfield player. When you consider the talented young players we presently have it promises much for our future in the Premier League. There are around forty days left of the transfer window. Spend wisely!

Silver we need to invest at least 50m from here two goal scorers gone from a team that can't score , we need a winger , a striker , two centre halves and a midfielder , can't see it happening personally even if we were so inclined I don't think our transfer team could deliver it |

We will bring players in, but I don't think they will be costing too many £millions, staying in the Premiership on the cheap, seams to be the way we are going.

We look desperately short of proven quality offensively now, 2 senior wingers is not enough & we need to replace like for like on this one i am afraid.
We were piss poor at scoring goals before we lost our main man.
It doesn't matter a jot what they cost be the fee large or small as long as they are the right player, people obsess about spending money for the sake of it.

This again? Seriously?
Ramadan is going to fill Arnie's boots and then some. The kid is a superstar.
The Arnie money... For me it can go on a new right back. BMI and Zouma.
Stoke DO NOT need to directly replace Arnie. We've got Ramadona.
Perhaps we need a backup for Ramadan... But I'd imagine that'll come in the form of the youth lads who've been promoted.

I expect Stoke to spend BIG money now after Arnie sale. £50-60 mill. invested in two attacking players, Indi, Zouma and Delph. Afetr Walters and Arnies departure we need two Midfield/striker with goals.

I absolutely want to see Ramadan as the arnie replacement; however, we do need another winger IMO. Verlinden is a prospect, and Diouf can serve as an emergency backup, but an experienced winger to compete with Ramadan and Shaq for the two spots on the flank would be ideal.

He is but he isn't as good as when Arnie is leaving and that's the problem. The lad has bags of potential but he's played a handful of minutes at anything that can be classed as a decent standard of football. IF (and its a massive if at this point) that he reaches his potential we won't see it for a year or two yet. The sale of Arnie has weakened the squad massively regardless of what potential NGoy Verlinden or Sobhi have shown. |

Not as strong? I'm fairly sure I've seen Ramadan every time he's played for us and I don't recall him being bullied off the ball. In fact I only recall him out musceling defenders Anyway... They are different players. Arnie is unplayable on his day. But those days just simply don't happen enough. Ramadan from what we've seen so far is very tricky. Takes on his man. Will get alot of assists and works hard for the team. He's ready to step up and I have no worries at all on him playing on the left flank week in week out. I think he'll compliment the team well, and fingers crossed if Shaq can keep fit we'll have no issues on the wings what so ever |
