That is the lamest defence of the shit we've seen this window and the drivel we heard from that clown this evening that I've had the misfortune to hear yet From the starting point of an empty stadium after the Arsenal game and the thousands of empty seats in those final few home games and realising that like when Pulis was here, apathy had reared its ugly head. I tell you what I wouldn't have done. I wouldn't have fucked up the Bruno deal I wouldn't have re-contracted our worst player from the final stages of last season, our right back I wouldn't have made our major signing of the pre season by August 10th a 33 year old on a free I would not have let our best current player go to a club we direct compete with for £18M we hear today. Fucking peanuts by any comparison. I wouldn't let our best player of the last ten years, the captain, leader and inspiration quietly drift out of contract and wilfully INVITE speculation about his future I wouldn't haggle over relatively small amounts of money and lose players the manager wants just to be smart. It's not a game anyone else of our stature is really playing I wouldn't then go on the local radio station, dismiss fans views, infer they're uneducated, suggest we could get rid of our biggest ever flop for a decent fee and then bang on about free transfers and loans and suggest our business is pretty much done when fans should rightly expect to spend anywhere up to £50M and that might only to be to stand still I wouldn't be quite as smarmy a useless cunt. Some fans seemingly love that kind of thing these days though. Fucking spot on Won't be popular with some, but I agree with everything he said.

Pirlo, lewandoski, sol Campbell. Want me to go on? All ELITE players the likes of Stoke City haven't got a chance of signing.

Yeah we would. After Butland he's the most saleable asset we have. We're just protecting that. Your cynicism is near borderline paranoia - get help please How is it cynicism? It's good business.

Hopefully we will see more from the lad but I think his attitude might not be as good as it could be. Shaq is our second most saleable asset.

Possibly but I think Ramadan is already earmarked for Liverpool but that's just a gut feeling. I just hope he plays more this season.

Absolutely vile fucking behaviour for a so called supporter of this football club. Go and think long and hard about why you support stoke city because this kind of behaviour is just appalling. Some of our own including yourself would be happy we got relegated just so you could scream from the rooftops of the oatcake that you were right.

Some fans seemingly love that kind of thing these days though. I have to agree with the above. We are all desperate to see our club do well and progress.However , so far , the Club is going an funny way about maintaining our current position let alone progressing.Hopefully there will be some positive change in the next few weeks.

We feel there is more to come and we all know that. He was a little bit behind the group and he’s had a busy summer, with getting married and all that upheaval – if that’s the right word! – in his life.” It's pretty fucking obvious to anyone that Hughes isn't happy with the way he has come back.

Your cynicism is near borderline paranoia - get help please How is it cynicism? It's good business. Instead of primarily regarding his improved contract as a deserved reward for a Praiseworthy start in a new country and a new culture, your reaction was that the reward was secondary to the club protecting it's investment. No 'soul' in the reward, just hard cash.

Fans who live in that 'bubble' are pathetic. You realise that the board are fucking up the club. We are going to be in a relegation battle. Do not be surprised for us to do a Villa. What a load of utter horses cocks.

Fuck me what a depressing load of shit from the arch slimy beancounting slug. Everyone knows what free transfers are and how they can work but you can't just base a whole strategy on that. If that was an exercise in rallying the troops I think the troops have just taken their suicide pills. We've sold one of the jewels, we seem to be getting decent money back for our record flop and the useless twat is trumpeting free transfers. No doubt now we're in the bargain basement. Fuck of Scholes you feckless twat. Been telling you for years , the bloke is either deluded , imcompetent , or simply oblivious to the evidence in front of him , to ignore the national media condemnation of our summers approach when talking to our closest supporters , is mind boggling naive . even I had some hope we might be secretly plotting a master coup , now I'm sure our business is free transfers and loans and cheap and the bloke has put us in the championship before a ball is kicked . You might have been telling us sunshine but after reading your crap for so many years the vast majority don't listen to you anymore. You and Stokienath make the most depressing bunch of Billy no mates.

Not to mention a goalkeeper who will be leaving next summer. No clue on formations. I'll be ready for the midweek night game at Brentford. To be fair, I've always wanted to go Brentford away before it gets knocked down. Which they're on about doing soon. Used to have 4 pubs one on each corner of the ground, at the end of the street. One was famously used in Greenstreet I think. Love to visit. Can't wait now we've got an automatic relegation before a ball is kicked.

I'm speaking the truth. Sick of living in our little fucking bubble while we pretend we are good enough. WE ARE NOT. West ham, Watford, Burnley and Leicester have all added good players. We are falling behind Just accept that we have been lazy and fucking uninspiring in this window. It all adds up with the dull football all of last season. I can see Crouch starting most of our games. Burnley? Loosing Michael Keane and Andre Gray, replacing them with Phil Bardsley and Walters is an improvement?

Is Scholes fucking schizophrenic? One day he was telling us about the world class players he was negotiating to buy"well just below that level" then 1 fairly obscure free transfer later he's saying we should get at least one more deal done.

If we were offered a 10--15 goal per season striker, but past his sell date in years, but not in ability, similar to MU did last year would we take it ? I suspect the answer would be yes. How much would he cost? Nothing he is already on the books. He is willing to to take a seat on the bench and come on when asked. Start him every week and I think we would be suprised. Who can I be referring to ? Clue. He is English Diouf isn't English?
