We need Ricardo Fuller 2.0... But I'm fucked if I know who that is. Fucking hell I'll take Mama Sidibe 2.0 right now.

I’ve just listened to the interview and I have to feel sorry for Jones. As with many he didn’t see today’s performance by the biggest % of the players

What’s the point of taking a flyer on anyone now - other than if they are worried we might get relegated? Might as well wait till the summer. We need to progress not stagger to the end of the season. We need to build up some initiative or we’ll end up going into next season with the same negativity. Even a couple of new players will give us a much needed boost. If we sign no one we’ll sleep walk into next season. The new manager needs some support. Today showed were still a long way off being a decent side. The players just aren’t available for obvious reasons so why waste cash on ‘tokens’. Let’s see how good Jones is and see if he can’t make the current selection more effective and get the best out of them. He should be able to make some impact with this lot.

Yep - the type we've neglected to bring in for years. Crouch theoretically ticked the box on paper, but hasn't on grass for years. Christ knows what we thought we were buying in Afobe. He doesn't seem to tick any box I really expected more from Afobe that’s for sure Adobe hasn't the guts ,just watch him ,he either pulls out or goes down to easy

He got injured today caused by his countless terrible touch of the ball.

Radio Stoke presenter. Alas, it turns out that comment was about our chums from Burslem Vale signing players? They can pay their Council Loan back then if they've got some pennies.

Just three more to go...

If Austin is unrealistic, or too rich for us in terms of contract and fee for a soon-to-be 30-year-old, can anyone think of any others that fir this type of description? Jones must have a good knowledge of any League 1 players of this type who could step up? It'd be interesting to know who we've got our eyes on Unlikely to get any top league 1 striker in Jan, as their club will not let them leave, far more likely an out of favour prem player (like Austin) or someone from abroad. Trouble as always, is if they're half decent they'll have options and will Stoke be the most attractive?

Someone tell Mr Jones we have just conceded 2 at home to 16th place p.n.e. The answer is not Charlie Austin, the answer is a new defence. We need something up front as well because Afobe is fucking terrible. Maybe so but Charlie Austin's wages (assuming it's a loan deal) never mind a transfer fee? He's on 100k a week at Southampton. Surely we have more pressing issues like building from the back.. it's about time we had some shit hot full backs and central defenders.. we've been a soft touch for far too long at the back, it's beginning to take the piss now

I think he’ll soon find out that the people at the top will start moving the goalposts as to who he can bring in.

Afobe can do one for me, he doesn’t give a shit.

Afobe was wank but at the point he got taken off he was starting to get in behind their defence and cause them some problems. Odd sub bringing Crouch on for him imo.

I turned over to Signal on the way home(because of the amount of Vale shit) and they mentioned Austin,Vokes and Kiefer Moore also at Barnsley barnsleyfc.org.uk/threads/keiffer-moore.275826/page-2Moore has his his fair share of critics at Barnsley. But football fans are uber-critical! Mind you, I am a bit surprised at the strength of the criticism given how well they're doing. Maybe he's one to strike off the list? If he's on it. And if there is a list. I quite like the idea of Vokes to be honest. They've got Wood and Barnes - and Vydra. So you never know. You'd probably be looking at nudging £10m though. His recent record at this level is excellent. www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sam-vokes/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/4807835 goals in 6803 minutes - so pretty much 1-in-2 in Burnley's last 2 seasons down here.

Said it at the start of the season and in the summer window we should be looking at that Nigerian onuachu who plays in denmark, he'd be ideal to play alongside afobe, berahino or campbell, even more so now NJ is manager with his formations, he would be cheaper than Austin and he's only 23. He's also built like a brick shit house

How bad as it got and how are the board feeling. The money spent I. The summer as been a waste. 1 reserved keeper. Needed 2 Woods, dropped by new manager 3 Ince, dropped by mew manager 4 McLean, dropped by newamager 5 Adobe, not doing it at all
Add to that the other players on the books that ££££££££ and they are happy with the process! 😂😂😂

I absolutely cannot wait for the day Crouch retires. He was brought on presumably to be an aerial threat in the last 10 mins, did he win one header? I'm getting so unbearably sick of seeing games peter out (pun intended) as the daddy longlegs-limbed pensioner clambers around fouling opposition defenders and losing headers to players who are 8 inches shorter than him.

Lukas Jutkiewicz? Connor Wickham? Rudy Gestede? Sam Gallagher?
Any of them suitable or attainable?

I'm beginning to wonder if these players have performance related bonuses when they sign for stoke, goal bonuses and win bonuses etc? For some reason what should be decent players turn to shit upon arriving here

Somebody who could control a football would be a good starting point!! Yes, surely its so basic isn't it? Why can't our bunch do it? We can't do the simple basic stuff we were taught at year 1 secondary school.
