I don't see how you can after you've signed 11 players. I don't remember him being that amazing when we were in the Prem although granted he's one of our better players. It's all just a complete mess. i think we need 11 guys all prepared to run through brick walls for you. Unfortunately Badou isn’t one of them. I suppose I’d rather have players that want to be there than players looking for the players exit. That said our midfield has been woeful again this season so I’d be tempted to play him as it’s getting to the point for Jones where it’s do or die It is but he again starts to lose his credibility. He promised players that want to be here and we could be proud of. We've not really seen anything to show a change of heart from Badou - maybe he has who knows. It seems like desperate measures, and these are desperate times, but at the end of the day he needs to live or die by what he's promised. I don't get why he signed all the players he did when the squad was too big anyway and most of them are not playing. I can see they aren't great but why do it in the first place. We've just made an even bigger mess of things.

Given a choice between a half-arsed Badou or Jordan Cousins, then Badou all day for me.

Has it actually been confirmed he's training or has trained?. Has he been sighted at any matches since he is supposed to have returned. I am very sceptical. Jones said he has been training with the first team squad for the past month. Don't ask me where I read it but I know I did.

He's got to feature in the 18 tomorrow surely - or what is he doing here?

Presumably he's been with his national squad during the international break. That would be good and bad. He'll be fit, but he's had too little time to warm to the amazing training methods and goals which we employ.

He is a clever bloke, just not on a football pitch unfortunately. He took Premier League money off us as an apparent sign of loyalty, when really he knew that it was the best contract he would get. The much-maligned Butland stuck around last season on Championship money, now that’s a bloke who wanted to play for Stoke City.

Ndiaye didn’t want to play for Sheffield United in the Prem. So why would he want to play for us in the Championship. The guys a dick, came here for a quick payday and doesn’t give a shit about helping us.
In addition, in the six months he played for us Joe Allen was miles better than him.

That last bit is not true at all. Ndiaye was outstanding,Allen has never got close to that level. He has to play,we can't just pay his wages for no return,that would be madness

www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/live-stoke-city-press-confernece-3314410 Is Ndiaye ready to play?NJ: He wants to play in the top league, so we have a value on him and if that value was met we wouldn’t have stood in his way and we recruited to replace him because we thought that value would be met He’s now a Stoke player and we are delighted. We believe a lot like Badou who didn’t move on are in our best 11. Is he mentally prepared to play in the Championship?NJ: Only time will tell to be brutally honest. He’s been used to playing in a top league and there’s nothing wrong with ambition. There’s been no offers and we move on.

What a crock of shit, he covers more grass than most players, not always in a good way, but you can't knock his desire.
