This is a load of rubbish surely Does Chopper talk rubbish Hackett? The only thing he's got wrong recently is saying Mckenna would sign but even then it was well known we were in for him so he wasn't far wrong.

I don't doubt what Chopper says, he's pretty spot on, it's just that he can't possibly have been 1,2,3 or 4 etc on Jones's CDM wishlist if at all.

Is he any better than what we already have? If so he can't sign it's not fair...

I suppose we were after a few players at the same time so the interest was probably genuine in Pennington but obviously has a back up.

Totally misguided and an insult to Stoke's best player by a country mile! A bit like being the World’s Tallest Dwarf. Allen does all of those things, he also does other stuff well. He’s missed about 5 games in 3 years and for 3 years our central midfield has been an unbalanced mess because no one knows his best position. He gets played higher up where he isn’t creative enough, he gets played further back where he isn’t destructive or atheltic enough and he gets played in the middle where he isn’t discliplined enough. For a guy that’s allegedly our best player, I’d have expected to be batting off suitors for him. He showed his best form playing just behind the lone striker. He never looks entirely comfortable anywhere else in the team.

He never looks entirely comfortable anywhere else in the team. The irony being that move is the move that completely wrecked him. He joined us as a sitting playmaker and we've slowly turned him into a confused mess of an engine that doesn't know what he is.

I'm not doubting Chopper has been told this but I'm far from convinced Jones wants this fella.

He’s still the most reliable itk by a mile though. After your good self of course.

Vokes needs to show me more, but has the ability to do well at this level. Cousins is a gamble, but Jones has taken a flier based on past history with him. Ward is a disappointing signing for left back - I'd rather have kept Pieters.

Played some passes that were never on and put us in trouble right in front of the back row. Ward is the other I think there are better options out there although he is a good solid pro.

This is a load of rubbish surely Possibly the talk of Chibsah is a bargaining manouevre to give some other target a push. We have some history of using similar ploys before.

Allen probably won us more possession than any other player in our team!!! He regularly covered more ground than any other player in the team!!!!!!

I'm not doubting Chopper has been told this but I'm far from convinced Jones wants this fella. Not all players mentioned will sign, however everyone I mention will always be in talks or will sign otherwise there’s no point me posting the names. Pennington and McKenna were very close to signing but we pull out of deals or lose deals too, we will never sign everyone we talk to.

I hope he signs this fella as the alternative Cousins would be a disaster. He really doesn't seem like a Jones signing though. Surely this means Woods would go.
