We absolutely should not He doesn't seem to grab his chance anywhere so why should we give him another one? If we could manage to give him away somewhere we'd be very lucky I think. How much have we spent on this player in total!? Scary figures I presume!

imbula looked a class act when he first came.things did not go as planned. he as been loaned out on 3 or 4 occations is value as gone now so maybe its time for him to come back and rebuild is career with us in this shit championship. surly if he could get to where he was when he first came he could boss this league.

He has no love for football, he’ll retire once we’ve paid him up. Absolute waster.

Things did not go as planned because his attitude here stank the place out and he thought he was above authority. He would be absolutely toxic for our squad right now. He's had enough chances.

Could have been so good. Hope he looks back in years to come and regrets it. More likely look back counting his pennies and not be bothered.

Wonder where his next loan will be. I'm sure he'll be loaned out for the rest of his contract.

18M on a fee 5 year contract at around 60k a week - 15.6M Plus fees- 2M ?
Total cost to Stoke City circa 36M

If we don't HAVE to terminate the loan, we should not do so - unless, of course, there is another club daft enough to want him.

Assuming absolutely no-one comes in for him what do we do with him? Pay him off? Make him train in his own? Send him away like Chelsea did with Bogarde? Try to rehabilitate him and get some football out if him?
Personally I think the last solution is a non starter.

Can’t we terminate his actual contact the blood sucking Twat!
Surely his attitude towards the ‘Job’ is a breach of contract??
Sack this oxygen thief now!

It’s amazing to think but it’s true I’m waiting for someone to say we should give him a chance. We absolutely should not You should always give quality a chance...especially when you otherwise have absolutely none. However, the problem would remain the same as ever: Hughes wanted to build a team around him, but the team and nearly the club fell apart. How would you build a team around him today with McClean, Cousins, and Ward as his nearest partners...? That's as much an indictment on those three as it is on G. They are all paid employees, however. Over to you, Michael.

The best idea is to try and find some saps to take him off our hands and get some of his wages off the books until his deal runs out.

The best idea is to try and find some saps to take him off our hands and get some of his wages off the books until his deal runs out. We haven't exactly had much luck with that in the preceding years, have we? We've paid all or nearly all of his wages throughout his loan periods and there's not a sane manager/chairman/owner in the business who'd take him on. So your best idea is no good at all...
