Do people really want this chancer to stay? Really?
It would be lovely to think that the majority of those still here from our premier league relegation team are finally gone.
If we are left with only shawcross and allen come september that would be a result.

I meant 3 including him, rsb. Smith (2022) Bauer (2023) Edwards (2024) By Championship standards, our combined right-back wage bill must be astronomical You've got to be looking at around 80k+ a week? Bauer 30-40k (after his new contract) Edwards 20k Smith 20-30k Gulp We could afford a good one for that 😱

Bauer 30-40k (after his new contract) Edwards 20k Smith 20-30k I doubt any of them are on half that. Players in the Championship just don’t get that kind of wedge. I think Stoke are stupid, but even with the Premier cash flow for the first few seasons, we’d be plummeting cash if most of the squad were still taking that in.

Remember how positively this was viewed at the time? Some are easily fooled by someone that can run a little. More are equally easily fooled by those that can run a lot!

If he doesn’t go like now seems likely why not bring him back to the squad as Edwards appears so far off?
He surely could understudy wing back?

Yeah -it does stand out like a sore thumb as somewhere we need another body in. It'll be interesting to see if we carry on squeezing the pips out of Smith by playing him in every game - Villa, then Birmingham, then on and on and on. Can't go on much longer if we're trying to force Edwards out. There's no chance for Bauer though, you'd think. We'll have to accept almost any deal for him. It'll be interesting to see what league he goes to (if there is a taker). Mid-table Belgium....or lower? Very hard to see an English taker - so we've got 6 days to get rid of him and Big Kev

Bauer and Diouf were probably the best (used loosely) two right wing-backs we had. New formation makes about as much sense as Jones' diamond.

But we don't know the ins and outs of Bauer's contract with the club
For all we know, he may have bonus payments for every time he plays. Or a £1m bonus after playing so many games etc
We have to trust the club on this

He's best suited to wingback in a 5atb formation. He could potentially thrive in our current setup if given a chance.

He is utter dogshit and nowhere near good enough for this division.
He couldn't even make it in the Scottish league.

I remember that many fans, including me and many on this Board, thought that him signing for 5 years was one of the few bright spots at the time of relegation. None of us knows what goes on behind the scenes but its certainly a very poor investment to have him on the books but not contributing. I have a bit of a soft spot for him because we randomly met his mum before the Swansea away game. She had fish and chips with us and came into the away end instead of the usual players comp in the stand. I remember her amazement when I told her she couldn't take her pint of lager up on to the terrace, but had to drink it on the concourse.

He has played for decent clubs in Europe
He played for Celtic
He has got to be worth a go in this team
As I say I think there is far more to it than meets the eye

The management team watch him in training and scouts have watched him at Celtic. All have come to the conclusion he'll never play for stoke again.

He has the positional sense of Danny Collins after a spin in a tumble dryer. He’s not a MON player in any way, shape or form.

A right back who can't defend and would actively hide during games.
