Is there anyone that actually wants to be here? Only the ones nobody else would want.

A Common thread is emerging here. Anybody remotely 'half decent' doesn't want be be at Stoke City anymore and I dont think the magnitude of what is probably the clubs most monstrously royal fuck up in its entire history that, has played out over the last 12-18 months, has even dawned on the owners and administrators of our football club as yet.

I can't say I'd be that arsed if there was any truth in it. He played OK I thought on Sunday but he hasn't got a great range of passing, he can't shoot and his decision making is pretty awful.
Still he runs about a bit and occasionally breaks up play and that's seemingly your £15 frigging Million these days.

Both Badou and Bauer will have signed knowing relegation was a possibility. They have either committed to stay no matter what, or they have a relegation release clause in their contracts. I guess we won't know until the summer, but this story is the usual 2+2=5 nonsense. Jezza stop talking common sense. We are a shit club destined for The Ansells league. No one will ever want to play for us again.

He lacks any sort of quality especially on the ball. Average off it. He won't be missed, there are better midfielders playing in the championship.

Get rid. My money is that he is another Carto signing that the manager didn't want or need. Our transfer policy is nothing short of diabolical. The lad is so far our of his depth its untrue. The time for those sort of signings aint when your in the midst of a relegation fight. I get a flash of rage and a reflex gnashing of the teeth every time I see Cartwright's name mentioned. How that useless fat sack of shit is still in a job is beyond me ....

I've been totally underwhelmed by Badou, I thought he'd be more forceful and dominant in midfield but as Sheikhy says maybe that's what you get for 15 million quid these days!

The problem is they didn’t want to be here in the first place as the real crime is after 10 years in the league. The only side other than the top 6 and Everton not to go down in that period. The fucking failures that run the club never had the guts, ambition or drive to let us be anything other than “lucky to be here”. We never set our stall out as being someone to be reckoned with. We never built on the platform of success off or on the pitch. We never built anything of lasting quality. We never set the stall out and behaved like we wanted to be there. We didn’t spend enough. Didn’t invest in club infrastructure. Didn’t buy proven quality players. Certainly not strikers. Never talked about our history. Never created a stoke city way, philosophy or believed in what type of club we wanted to be. This was never defined by the club. We never pushed to the best in all that we did. We never went and took the best player from a lesser team and pushed their club around so they would come. We never spent over the odds successfully just to prove a point. Always happy to settle for the scraps, the players and staff nobody wanted. Who were here because they took pity on us really. Instead we were just happy to be there. Little old Stoke. Scholes, Cartwright its time to go. Peter, John, Denise you need to decide where this club is heading.

My old man said to me many years ago. “The problem is the local culture of accepting 2nd best. The Mancs and Scousers go in for a shilling rise and accept sixpence. Whereas we go in for a halfpenny and accept a farthing”. IMHO I believe the clubs current strategy and management see second best as succes.

On the evidence of what we’ve seen so far, I would be more than happy if we recouped what we paid for him and let him go. To say he’s been bang average would be being kind. I’ll leave it at that.

Hughes talked of the need for legs and energy in midfield just before he was sacked, and we were linked with him before Hughes was sacked, so I think Hughes would at least have happily signed off on him.
I think he's done ok. He's better than what we had. Bit of a rich man's Cameron in how he gets back to nip the ball of people's toes. Not great on the ball but he did play a peach of a pass on Sunday.

Turkish football and the Premier League are worlds apart. He's come in mid-season to a poor, demoralized, hrelegation threatened team and guess what? He's struggling to hit the ground running. Many other would too.
I've no idea whether there is any truth in Turkish media report. They can't report on anything Erdogan doesn't like otherwise they'll get locked up for 20 years - so they've got to make up all sorts of inane stuff to fill their pages.
However for us to write Badou off already is both premature and unfair.
