We're so bored we've become paranoid that we've been infiltrated by a Man Utd fan Probably just his avatar because it's that ridiculous looking statue that barely resembles Ronaldo and he had the piss taken for a while because of it

I listened to Coates this morning on TS and he seemed genuinely upset that Arnautovic asked for a transfer in December, just 6 months after signing a new contract in which Stoke gave him everything he asked for. So, Coates says he was stabbed in the back, and Arni says the team lacks ambition. We'll never know the truth because there's always three sides to a story: my side, your side and the truth. However, the fact remains Coates, Scholes and Hughes knew 6 months ago there was a high probability that Arni was leaving and therefore had plenty of time to come up with a transfer plan for the Summer. So things are either going according to plan or we in a mess. We'll know in the next 5 or 6 weeks whether we are contenders for a strong mid-table finish and a cup run or struggling to survive. We have got rid of some of the deadwood but we have holes to plug all over the place especially at the back.

I had to bite and ring in lads. Too much panic and talk of a sure relegation from most callers. I don't think things are as bad as they made out. Yes we need to bring 2/3 players in, but have a little faith. We have 4 feasable options up top if used correctly. Bera if we get him scoring and the right service has the potential to emulate that season at WBA where he nearly went to Spurs. Diouf can score, we saw that a few seasons ago. Not a first choice by any means but a reasonable sub. Ngoy has so much pace, so much potential. Game time could be prove crucial and if he gets it we could really see something of this lad. Crouch, a different kind of game, if we need a plan C/D, bring him on with Bera/Diouf/Ngoy alongside him and see if any can benefit from his hold up play and aerial flick ons.
I love Sobhi, I love Shaq, I think we'll see a beautiful partnership between them this year.
Bojan...well...if he returns to the form he was before that injury he can create magic, he could be the man that can find Bera when he makes the runs he has been.
We do need full backs no doubt. That is a must.
Allen Fletcher will work well I think, option of Imbula if he doesn't leave.
Its coming together, slowly, but by no means do I think we're even close to relegation candidates.

Which in itself a major achievement by Mark and his team as we were told by Mr Coates we had the strongest squad we have ever had last season !, I agree by the way this is a very weak unbalanced squad and make no bones about it this of the managers making. Piss poor transfer dealings over the last four windows coupled with baffling footballing decisions have destroyed what we had, Coates has taken the easy option keeping Hughes here the club will suffer because of it, this season I believe will be our last in the PL.

There is a lot of potential but to many ifs, buts and maybes. We need a few solid players who aren't risks. When you look at our first 11 there's a hell of a lot questions that need answering Jack - top keeper Johnson - Is he done as a player. Lots of mistakes in him. Eric - woefully out of form towards the end of last season. Ryan - Will the back hold out. Will he ever be the player he was. Geoff - Solid but not quite good enough to be a PL CB week in week out. Allen - Can he play CB. Fletcher - A very good signing for me. Bojan - Will he ever be the player he was 2 years ago. Shaq - Will his calfs be Ok. Berahino - Stiil so much to prove. Sobhi - Looks good but will he be as good as Arni.

I agree . Any other manager with such a poor transfer budget in the premiership and selling of our best player and spine of the team would of walked . It clearly shows the lack of ambition of everyone around the club

By the end of the season? Ben, he's already the best English keeper. I meant that he would be England's number one by the end of the season. My mistake if I didn't say it like that

I think they have a point . Are we not a weaker team now then the team last season I think we are . And what ambitious statement has the club made up to yet ? We're stronger than the team that started last season. Butland over Given for a start. BMI didn't start the season, and now we have Zouma. Who knows, maybe Bojan will be revitalised, and Berahino should be ready to show his best. Ramadan has proven he can do a job, and he has a good shot at hitting the ground running based on his attitude and appearances last season - when Arnautovic started poorly. Who knows if Ramadan is a 30+ starts player yet, but he's a very decent replacement to start the season with. Edit: although I am concerned about losing Whelan, Walters and Bardsley all at once - three players who don't go hiding. Fletcher should be an upgrade on Whelan though.

If that's true scholes needs pinning to the walk by the local media , exactly what is the explanation and back up plan . said elsewhere it's becoming a spiral .

But we can't score and when we let in goals it's gushing. We are getting rid of deadwood, apart from shawcross so we need martins indie zouma and Cameron at the back. We need Delph with Allen and fletcher in midfield.
I think we need to learn to defend again and if we don't we'll be in the bottom three by October - by November Hughes will be gone without some points on the board

IMHO we are about the same as when we started last season, and our start was absolutely dreadful! However, the squad is very much weaker than it was at the end of last season, and our ending was a complete disaster. Let's not kid ourselves, the present odds of 13/2 for relegation are very generous.

We do seem to have lost the appetite for the Prem probably because you can't make the top 6 without a shit load of funding...funding that we can't make (even if we could who wants to come to Stoke). We may have given up the ghost
