We have spent a fortune since Hughes became our manager i can only think of one player (Arnie) that has actually improved. The rest have mostly regressed. I don't remember the likes of Kirt Zouma or Joe Allen underperforming so badly at their previous clubs? What are we doing so badly.

Pieters improved, Butand improved, N'Zonzi wasn't signed under Hughes but he improved under him.
Struggling to think of any more to be honest, which is grim isn't it.

10 years ago plenty of players were seeing their best ever years at Stoke - Ric, ,Mama, Liam, Matty, SJW etc etc - the list goes on.
Since then we’ve mainly signed players past their peak and it’s been the blueprint for the nightmare we currently face - combined with our total inability to develop youngsters.

Bojan showed vast improvement in his first few months under Hughes. Before joining he was essentially a goalscoring forward. With us he became a playmaker, but he then wasn't allowed to develop it further as Hughes dropped the false nine formation after only a handful games. Then everything went bad thereafter. |
