i might be in the minority, but I actually think he's a good striker. He's being penalised by Rowett's (non)tactics and a lack of service behind him. Get the right manager in, and I'll think we'll see the difference. Our system hasn't helped him, granted, and there's a good striker in there somewhere, but he's really let himself down with some of his performances IMO. Isn't this what we said, word for word (substitute Pulis for Rowett) about Dave Kitson?

A lot of money to squander. Have we seen enough to prioritise £12.5m spend and what are the chances of a return on investment. I mean given our recent track record you would think we would be more careful. It's not our money though and it's Peter's prerogative to waste as he sees fit I suppose. You would think most businessmen would be looking to invest £x in return for £y, with the aim of £y being greater than £x. Is that likely to happen in this case, either by sell-on or return to PL revenue streams? I get why Cartwright and Scholes would happily spend Peter's money, because they're inept but Peter must have been around the block a few times a) to know that these jokers are part of the problem and b) whether it's worth the risk and to evaluate the potential ROI. Then again maybe Peter's age has caught up with him and he's now unable to make sound judgements.

It's no fucking mystery why Wolves offloaded him.

He will come good. Proven at this level given decent service.

That ain't going happen any time soon.it took a young lad in Campbell today to show how McClean should be doing it and and a pensioner to show how afobi should be doing it. Ince hasn't got a cross in him playing on the right.

Watched a video from the goals he scored at wolves and most goals he was played in behind and not used as a hold up striker at all

Beginning of the season Afobe was making run after run into the channels for through balls that never came it's what he thrives on. Lately he just doesn't bother, he must know it's a pointless exercise and our midfield are incapable of playing such a pass.

He's a miles better player than what he's shown for us so far.
He, like many others at Stoke, is playing like he has no confidence and isn't enjoying being here at all, for whatever reasons.
