Nobody is really doubting his ability though. You called him Austria’s 9th choice right back earlier? Didn't he play in their last 2 qualifiers? Definitely late last year anyway..

Let's just welcome the lad to the club and give him a chance to show us what he has. I'm sure he will be here long enough for us to slate him if he's crap. Welcome to Stoke ....Moritz Bauer.... You just show us what you can do... Nobody is really doubting his ability though. Good, he's walking into a wasps nest at the moment with pissed of fans anxious for a GOOD new manager. None more so than me. We need to encourage him, not destroy him before he even kicks a ball. It's not his fault we're in a bad place at the moment or the fact that we didn't quite live up to Barcelonas Coutinho announcement . A defender is a most welcome sight at the moment, especially a quick one who can cross a ball and tackle.

Obviously the signings follow a process that takes weeks, months, sometimes windows to complete and this was too far down the line to renege on. Even those Tone last day 11th hour jobs necessitate some groundwork. Hughes before leaving said we needed players and identified right back, midfield, striker. Dean Saunders {pro Hughes I know, but still got insight a bit itk} said at the weekend: "Hughes will accept responsibility for what's gone on but privately he'll regret not being far more forthright and demanding of the owners last summer."
It's obvious to all we need strengthening, particularly some legs in the middle, so buying for those positions isn't a major concern. It does throw some light on our recruitment 'process' though. I think it's a bit of a shitter if we get such reinforcements in, beyond this one, having sacked the man. Leaves a taste of 'what if?'
Oh well, I suppose MO'N is all geared up to play with players he's presented with, less of an issue for him.
We'll see, anyway Moritz looks good, I like the cut of his jib from the clips I've seen on here. Good luck lad.

Apparently Hughes also wanted Delph and Ashley Young, I would have been more then happy with them so no reason to automatically assume Bauer is a donkey. I have no idea if he is a good or bad signing but I am happy to give him a chance before passing judgment.

Wonder if Eddie will play him as right wing-back on Monday?

Looks like a perfect RWB for a back 3 😂 What’s going on, we’re a total shambles, credit to hughes, looks like he was trying to fix his mistakes

Yeah I wouldn't be able to contain it, any club that proceeds with rookie decisions will most likely get punished for it. Also I like young Tom. I like young Tom but I just find your comments odd Thats because he's odd. Just a young lad with clearly too much time on his hands and a limited wit.

About time we signed a player his club didn't want to let go! Getting more happy with this the more I read about it. Seems exactly what we have needed in the team for a while now. the fact the club signed him when we are managerless isn't a big deal to me at all. They saw something they liked and rightly went and got it. He came to Stoke for a medical and talks last week, when we had a manager. Exactly which means the club saw what they liked. Doesn't matter if Hughes liked him or not..if they believe he's a good player then why not sign him regardless of having no manager. 5mil is nothing..a right back is what we need and it's just no risk at all. No reason to complain

Nobody is saying it's a crisis. What we're saying is if we make a decision to sack a manager, but then sign a player he wanted then it says a lot about our club. The new manager might not want him, he might not want other players in the team so it's best to not ADD to that team before we even have our manager in place. Also says a lot about how much control the manager has anyone over our transfer dealings. The alternative is that we may not get a manager who has the time to bring in a RB (a gaping fucking hole in the side), and we limp to the end of the season with the inexperienced Edwards (of whom we still know very little) or the hugely wank Johnson. The gamble seems unnecessary and potentially relegation worthy. This is how i see it. + the fact it may have been signed weeks ago ‘subject to international clearance’

Another typical black toxic cloud descending on Stoke. The lunatics have been let out for a few hours. Why are there so many people on Oatcake, that seem to be very miserable, and glass half empty all the time.

It's terminal mate, with manager suggestions no one will be good enough someone or a minority of people will always moan. I'm convinced if Anceolotti rocked up in stoke some would have faults to pick

This is the same machine that appointed Winner, Berahino and Imbula. I think it's understandable some of us are a little concerned.

Theonlooker has mentioned how Bundesliga clubs are hiring in general younger managers, 30 year olds. You just wouldn't get that here. Every name we've been linked bar the two young onesie Rowett and Potter has a dud job where they massively fucked up. That's going to happen. But essentially it's a pool of shit we're sifting and we've got to hope we pull the turd that best fits. We managed with Hughes for 2 and half years. That's just how it is. People are raising genuine concerns. There's nowt wrong with that.

I had a poster slag off AVB earlier after suggesting him to this davesviews. Said poster wouldn't have him because he's "arrogant" (in his view), that's the best reason he could come up with. Never heard anything so daft in my life
