I like the idea of Bojan coming back, I think he would thrive as the creative heartbeat of the team... If he is in the right place mentally. Before anything else though, it is vital that we sack Lambert and have a fresh start with a new manager.

See how that goes if we aren't top 6 then maybe get rid. So basically, instead of changing now and giving ourselves the best chance to get a new man in, uniting supporters and being positive we should keep Lambert, hope for top 6 despite all evidence to the contrary, wait for it to go wrong before sacking him when it’s too late to salvage anything out of the season? Yup. It’s really easy getting a decent manager mid-season. Oh, wait...

Shouldn't he have had that first meeting with bojan back in january? they spoke on the phone...... How on earth did a Spaniard understand a Glaswegian? I cant fathom out what Lambert says and I can talk broad Pottery

There is simply no doubt that Bojan 'could' rip up the Championship - he really could.
He has a hell of a lot to prove after the last two seasons or his career is simply disappearing.
Could this be our salvation?
It could be.

Sorry I feel that getting HUTH back would be a mistake. Good as he was with Shawcross back then He has not played many games in the last 2 seasons, Let us get away from ex stokies returning to play for us As a standby yes but not in the team We need a lot younger players who have to prove they can make it

I also like the idea of Bojan coming back however I fear the reality of a return would probably be a massive disappointment all round.

So he’s using the popularity of Huth and little Bojan to try to save his job now......What a slimy git! Nice guy? my arse!
One win, 20th place, but still a few Stoke fans want to keep this buffoon? Baffling 😕
If Coates doesn’t sack him, he should be carted off by the men in white coats, end of.

Just met Bojan?
What a fucking helmet.
No one can convince me Bojan wouldn't have improved our chances this season.
'But he's past it'
'Shite in his last game(s)'
'No pace'
Absolutely still far better than what we had at the end. What about options and pressure on others in training?
We should have recalled him straight away and ate the fine if necessary.
Even if he didn't score (and I think he would have), the lad is clearly a very smart footballer. How many fouls could he have drawn in games we were winning to take the pressure off?
That's properly pissed me off to be honest.

'Lambert met Bojan for the first time earlier this week after the Spaniard flew in from his season-long loan at Spanish outfit Alaves.' Really? He never met him in January when he was appointed manager? A player who has a more than decent goal return for Stoke and is still the best finisher we have at the club? Lambert has since moaned about the lack of a decent striker at the club yet he met Bojan for the first time this week. Words really do fail me. I’m not a great fan of lambert but Christ give the man a fair chance Why when he’d just inherited a shambles would he waste time on a player not in the squad who was out for the season on loan

That's properly pissed me off to be honest. i agree the benefits of Bojan in the team aren't just for the immediacy of the game. He is seen as a threat by other teams and sometimes marked by 2 or 3 defenders from the other team, this leaves space for us to take advantage of, and pass the ball into to create danger. And if he isn't being marked out of the game, he has the ability to play killer passes to team mates or at least have a pop. i don't want my forwards to "let them know you're there" "get a foot in" i want them in space and ready to take on the other team at the drop of a hat. another shit decision from Lambert from quite plainly doesn't know his arse from his elbow.

On the terrible Sentinel site"Paul Lambert has hinted that there could be a place for both Bojan and Robert Huth at Stoke City next season. Lambert met Bojan for the first time earlier this week after the Spaniard flew in from his season-long loan at Spanish outfit Alaves. And Lambert spoke fondly of Huth after it was announced this week that the 33 year-old former Stoke favourite would be leaving Leicester at the end of the season. Lambert, whose own future will become clearer after tomorrow’s curtain closer at Swansea (3pm), spoke fondly of his first meeting with fans’ favourite Bojan." "Huth, another cult hero after 187 games for Stoke City between 2009 and 2015, went on to win the Premier League with Leicester but injury has prevented him playing a single first-team game this term. “Nobody here can speak highly enough of him,” said Lambert. “I don’t know him, but what he did, the brilliant things at Leicester, it’s the mentality. That’s vital, to want to work, work and work." What a crock of shit - if this is true all Lambert is doing is trying to endear himself to the supporters to keep his job Transparent as hell.

Lambert despite his record, deserves a full season for me. See how that goes if we aren't top 6 then maybe get rid. He knows the club really well and can win back some fans by bringing back old time favorites like Huth and Bojan IMO. I'm fully behind him, you'll struggle to get anyone better in terms of the knowledge of the group Hi Paul.

Can’t believe some of the comments here! Every single championship club would take Bojan next season. Every single one! There is an argument he could have added something back in January. Would love to see the little lad back. It could resurrect his old self, being in a lower league. Bunch of nutters, I tell thee! Bring back Bojan by all means, as long as 'One Win' isn't in charge. I don't want to hear about One Win's plans for next season because the mumbling twat had better be long gone.

If you've got a potential game changer available to you it's pretty negligent not to consider him. As it is we were relegated because we couldn't score goals, 8 in the last 13 games. It's not talking in hindsight I said at the time he should be recalled.

However, I think it would be worth a shot. Once Lambert goes (fingers and toes crossed) I also think Ireland can take a good creative role.

Certainly Bojan wanted to return and Alaves wanted rid just leaving Stoke with a decision. That's why I find it surprising a new manager didn't bother to give him the time of day

No problem with Huth coming back as a back up if he’d be up for it , a leader on and off the pitch and he knows the club inside and out. Wouldn’t fancy him being first choice, but being behind Indi & Ryan whilst also being a tutor to Sweeney/Souttar seems like a win/win.

If you’re going to the Swansea’s game shout for Lambert out this pricks desperate PR is so transparent and fake it’s unreal!!
If he knew the squad like he said he’d know all about Boyan and he’d have take. A look and bought him back in Jan
He’s full of shit

Reading this thread, I can't help but think you've got to be a bit fucking weird to think that because Bojan wasn't quite up to the incomparable standard of the might of FC Barcelona, that also means he's not good enough for piddling little Stoke City Football Club.

Have to agree with that. We have to pay his wages. Would like to see him get another go. He was a popular positive influence in the dressing room, and has said in an interview in Spain not long ago, that Stoke City has given him his happiest days in football. Would be great for him and us if he got some of his his old confidence back. What would we have had to lose bringing him back in January? He would have been a great option even from the bench, which we were always struggling to fill. I just wish I could have seen some of the chances that fell recently to Diouf, such as that great Bauer cross from the right wing, fall instead to Bojan. Just maybe we would have still been a premiership club. An big opportunity missed by Lambert imo.
