Has Telford left the club? Saw a picture of him training with the rest a while back but guessing he’s out the door as his contract expires end of this month.

We got relegated because we had no goals in the side Shaq out and Afobe in marginally improves the goal threat. We need more than just Afobe...we already know what Saido Crouch and Diouf can do and it's not very much.

I'd love for us to sign a Dwight Gayle or someone mind.

I'd love for us to sign a Dwight Gayle or someone mind. It will be interesting to see what Phillips can do for Diouf. Unlike Berahino, we know from a standing start that Diouf has the right attitude, which we all know is half the battle. I'm very intrigued.

Why do all teams go to other countries for pre season training? What's wrong with doing it in England?

Why do all teams go to other countries for pre season training? What's wrong with doing it in England? Usually to get high altitude training to help raise fitness levels quicker - also get the players away from family so they can concentrate solely on getting fit for the upcoming season.

He is a shit finisher = Correct knack of being in the right place =Fluke can we really wait for him to eventually score from them ? , 1 in 3 in his first year is good but that was years ago ,he has got worse by the season ,we need better preferably one with his boots on the right feet

It's not a fluke. The reason he misses so many chances is a: he's in the right place at the right time (because he makes the right rubs) B: his finishing is shit C: he lacks that coolness goalscorers have.

Come on Guys the fact he is on the pitch playing up front tells you he is in the right place , but the guy cannot even control the ball without falling when its played to him ,I really like Diuof but we need offload him he is not good enough ,he was poor last season , I only see him getting worse ,we cannot rely on him .I would hate for him to get hammered by the fans because you know what they are like once the the knifes are out .

Why do all teams go to other countries for pre season training? What's wrong with doing it in England? Team bonding - if the squad don't come together as a group now then it makes it difficult to have success in a season and by being away in a hotel together means they have to eat with each other all the time and have to learn to get along (not necessarily be best mates). The age old expression that you don't truly know somebody until you have either lived or travelled with them applies. Come on Stoke!

Plus Butland. If Butland goes is Bursik on trial, in Germany , for the 3rd GK place. Told 5 in. That makes 10 out. If we want a 25 man squad. Butland/Another Federici Haugaard/Bursik Bauer Shawcross Indi Pieters Edwards New CB Souttar/Sweeney New LB Allen New DM Etebo Sorensen Adam/Afellay/Cameron/Imbula/Fletcher (happily get rid of all of them but at least 3) New winger New winger Choupo Verlinden/Ngoy Bojan Afobe Crouch Berahino/Diouf/New striker Campbell/Ngoy So that's 26 for me. 3 keepers. 8 defenders. 6 central midfielders (probably keep Cameron to cover the back too) 5 wingers/attackers 4 strikers

Has anyone said that Etebo is on the phone to his agent?
That would be funny.

Who the hell is that keeper! Gash. Or have the keepers been told to let every Berahino shot in for a confidence boost!
