Listened for a short while this morning and fat Brazil seemed to be encouraging listeners to call in and say how shit Stoke is and how they would never live here??????? All seems very funny? Can't do our tourist industry or bid for City of Culture any harm at all? To be a little fair to that fat alchy he’s doing it more to get a rise out of Dominic Cork

Sir Peter on talkSHIT now! Anything of note said by PC? One thing that did worry me slightly in a Sentinel article Martin Spunks just put up (in which he was ranting at Nobbie Savage for knowing nowt about football finance) was that he said he thinks the club actually spend too much on transfers. Was a bit surprised to hear that to be honest. I know we'll never splash millions and millions but to come out as a chairman and say we spend too much is a bit disconcerting I think. Let's just hope it was said partly in jest.

The Monkey Forrest got a good mention!!
To be fair Brazil was having a wind up and it was amusing.
He also said that despite all the money Everton have spent there is not much between them and Stoke.
Also challenged to do a Talk Sport broadcast from the 365.

People read too much into money spent, I don't particularly care that Zouma and Jese are loans or how much we've paid for those loans I will worry about the 18/19 season next summer.
I look at the merits of the squad we have for the coming season and is it competitive ? At the moment this squad we have is better than last year's and we Still have some short comings. We need a striker and more importantly wing backs but as a whole at the minute I'm satisfied with what we have.
We could spend 50m+ every summer like other clubs have done as Sunderland who've already been mentioned did and look where it got them ? Long term contracts mean nothing any of our players could have a storming season and be gone in 12 months so again don't worry too much about the squad for the next 2-3 years. Look at the squad we have now until may. With 2 weeks of the window left I am optimistic about the season and not the slightest bit worried about relegation there are plenty worse squads than ours.

Do they really rant about Stoke on Talksport or is it just our oversensitive fans who can't take anyone taking a realistic neutral view? Genuinely don't know I've never listened to it.

Neutral views are not necessarily realistic. Would you say we're a club in crisis? Would you be happy about somebody asking "what is the point of Stoke City?". I wouldn't describe it as being over sensitive either. Over sensitive is trying to organise a red card protest 3 weeks into a season. Over sensitive is people resorting to personal insults on here when two views aren't the same. But that's just my opinion

Let's just hope it was said partly in jest. Sound business sense. Think about it, if he said the opposite it would put £millions on Stoke's next purchase. Now Scholes can say during negotiations "that's the best offer my boss will let me make". Of course he didn't mean it really.

Can't answer my question then? who cares about Sunderland. And I judge each season as a new one . Selling your best players . Spending no money and trying sign loan players and players who no one else wants on a free sure will make us competitive West Brom wanted Fletcher to stay, that's why they printed his picture on the brochures. So to clarify someone did want that free signing that we got. We've also paid money for Tymon and Indi plus whatever fees came with the loans. So to clarify we have spent some money.

If Southampton, Brighton, Bournemouth, West Ham signed Zouma, Jese, Bruno they'd be talking about Champions League. But we're going down ahah

Low grade radio. Talking down Stoke for them is throwing a dead cat on the table. Tiresome. Just ignore them.

One final point however is that this all goes back to our first season back up. They could say that [this season] Stoke are hoping to prove that it is possible to survive in the Premier League without spending tens of millions every window.

So when the media report and dramatise it somewhat I really can't see why that surprises anyone. Stoke are playing a very dangerous game with lack of investment, if it blows up in their face they will only have themselves to blame.

Did it? I thought Shaqiri was his replacement??? And he hasn't given us what Moses had and we haven't been as good a team as with him in the side. I'd have Moses over Shaq every day of the week. We haven't had pace since he left and it's been detrimental. i agree

Have you spoken to the 20k season ticket holders individually. Have you spoken to us all? That's pure speculation.

The signings we are making are dream land Hughes has reacted to a disappointing season by shaking things up and signing some top top players that i don't think anyone would have anticipated at the end of last season Of course results on the field will be the true test but its going to be an interesting and hopefully an exciting season

So you admit they serve us a purpose then? So it's mutually beneficial??? Grobbelaar was a loan, was that not beneficial? Stein was a loan signing 96-97 season, again beneficial. Mark Crossley a loan signing, again beneficial. We need a class centre back. He's available. He benefits our first team. We haven't got any hope of signing a player of his ilk permanently so we have him for a year. I really don't see the issue. Moses was again a loan signing and fantastic for a season. The loan system helps clubs like ours be competitive in this league. The club feels it helps so I'll trust their opinion in this matter. Moses is the prime example of why it's bad. He provided us with pace and we never replaced it. We still haven't. It was short term bollocks. And that's no slight on Moses. I stuck up for him loads on here but the overall deal for us left us in a hole. I actually agree with Bayern on this. With Zouma there is zero/nil/nada chance we will get him permanently. Also we are helping the Chelsea loan-system gravy train which I think is a major misuse of what the loan system is meant to be there for But he is a quality player and hes ours for a season. So I will be supporting him 100%

Playing the shrewd businessman and putting out the signals that we will be tougher to do business with. We have a tendency to slightly overpay for some players - but a worse tendency to sell our players for way too little given market prices. I hate Daniel Levy as he has done us like a kipper a few times - but as a chairman he's the best in the business All this Spurs are not spending in the media is completely overblown. They are being very smart with their money and will be in the top 2 again this season

It's like farming running a football club, it's a long game 😬

For your information it doesn't mean everybody or a majority of, it means a significant proportion ie not a few dozen. If you find that hard to believe you're either in cloud cuckoo land or living under a brick.
