He's turning down Rome for Stoke? There simply has to be a catch.

Was he scouted by Dave Kemp? If so, we'd be bringing back the wrong Ibrahima Sy. Was it ever confirmed that we ended up buying the wrong Arismendi? It's a story I still laugh about now when I think about it The fact that we came back with him and not Pastore as well still saddens me to this day.

Don't blame him. Rome is a shithole What follows is a true anecdote with a work colleague as we packed up our things at the end of the day. Colleague: "Where are you from?" Me: "North Staffs." Colleague: "Where is that?" Me <explains to little effect> Colleague: "I think I traveled past there once." Me: "Where are you from?" Colleague: "Rome." Me: "Been there once. Nothing there of interest." Colleague: <shocked face> Me: "ONLY JOKING! Pint?" It's a hoot a minute at my place.

Everyone's got a youtube compilation these days - even academy signings! Touch of the Zonz in that. Been a while since we had a Rolls Royce of a midfielder.

One for Obi-Wan Mikel to mentor? Wouldn't surprise me at all if Sy has been sold Stoke on the basis that Obi-Wan would be training with him
It smacks of surpisingly forward-thinking and could pay off massively for a relatively small outlay. Even if Obi-Wan doesn't play too many games for us himself, if he can bring a youngster along to be half as good as him, that's a success.
That was exactly what I was thinking. Stranger things have happened. Losing academy players to bigger clubs pisses me off big time - but I suppose the other side of that coin is when we manage to poach a player from a big club or who was about to sign for a big club. Hope it is true. It is quite a remarkable coup if it comes off.
Options for Sy: Go to Lazio et al, sit on the bench for 3 years & be ignored by all your team mates. Get sold to Turkey/Russia.
Go to Stoke, train with Obi-Wan, sit on the bench for 3 years with the odd substitute & cup appearance. Get sold to a club like PSG/Ajax. Maybe even a premier league club for big wages if he comes good for us.
Got to be a win-win for him & Stoke.
I've read about his "slight stature". A diet of oatcakes & bovril will soon sort that out.

Sonko Affelay Sy
Could be 3rd time lucky with an Ibrahima?
Not slating Affelay, but we didn't see him at his best

Not wishing to be a doom merchant, (and I really hope Sy is genuine & the deal comes off), it wouldn't be the first time that an agent has put a spanner in a transfer that we had no part in to say: "Hang on, Stoke are interested. They'll pay £25k per week. I know we agreed £20k per week for him to play for Lazio ... make it £25k per week and he's yours."
Even if it does come down to that it's flattering in a way. It shows we might still have a bit of weight in the market & Sir Peter's transfer dong isn't flaccid yet.

Can he play for us for a bit, decide stoke isn’t in fact like Rome, then get a loan each season for the rest of his five year contract? 😗
