Sentiment aside. We've had the best out of Ryan. Had to adopt the zonal marking system last season to accommodate his particular attributes. He's been beige for a while though and we need someone who'll score more at set pieces and that. 50pence head. Be ok by me if he moves on. Part of the rollercoaster. I often agree with your posts, but this and the one on the other thread with Wollscheid in the middle of a back three will make me wake up screaming in the night. Cheers!! Embrace it mate.

He is a decent centre back. Why do you think he played for Barcelona? Are you really going to try and claim that myself and all the scouts and coaches at Barcelona know fuck all about football? Laughable mate. You're making out he was Carlos Puyol's sidekick.Muniesa never started a game for Barca. He played twice for them. They obviously thought he was decent up to a point

A considerable volume of shit is spouted on this board
'Might as well let Ryan go, Sweeney is ready / Souttar is ready' .... and similar crap
They're all ready in the minds of quite a lot of deluded blokes and then they play Crewe Alexandra from the bottom of Division 2 and get hammered
Ready my left foot's little toenail !!!

Are we having 100 pages of folk slagging off our captain now pathetic some folks are not happy unless they are having a go. This board has gone to rat shit. Slagging off or giving an opinion, looks like the latter to me.

Cracks me up. Eight pages based on one person's say so. Could be true but who the hell knows. Fine to have the conversation but good Christ take a breath.

Sell the club captain on the eve of the season? Could be an issue if that happens! Ryan is a club legend. Make no mistake about that! Let's give him our full backing and hope he plays as well as we know he can! One of the best signings in the history of the club. No overstatement!

I expect this, like the Toon rumour before it, was dropped into the ether by Shanwcross' agent to wake Stoke up into talking about the new contract. I just can't see Shawcross, with all his baggage about playing style etc, making a move to another PL side of equal or even smaller measure unless he's been pushed into it by Hughes/Scholes I could see him making a jump to the Championship to lead a team up again, I think he does like to be loved and the last year or so we saw some reaction to the fans when they turned on the team after a fuck-up.

There's an easy way to put all of this to bed.
Just offer our longest serving player, club captain of nine years and best defender (certainly the best defender that we actually own) a new contract and get the ball rolling with negotiations.

Speaking of Shawcross... how come he hasn't signed a new contract yet? I mean, I hope we've offered him one. I don't think we have. He's been interviewed on a couple of occasions now saying how he's keen to stay and sign a new deal, he's just waiting for one. One hasn't come. Said the disappointed Elizabeth to the Duke

If we sell shawcross before buying a replacement I think we can safely say something is very very wrong and the truth in the end will out , At what point does my predicted squad implosion become reality I'd say with such a deal if we don't have a replacement in the door same day . Well we'd obviously have a replacement lined up - are you seriously suggesting we wouldn't. Have you seen stokes piss poor signings with Hughes and the rest of the loonies in charge?

Not a prayer Hughes will sell our captain to a rival of ours. What makes you so sure?
