Just Ince MacLean and Gregory to go Looking like a more realistic list to sort out though. They'd of definitely been the ones I'd of thought we'd of managed to slide out the door the easiest. Fact the list of permanent outgoing players includes Wimmer, Vokes, Bauer, Ndiaye, Etebo, Lindsay, Martins Indi is quite phenomenal considering they've all been hanging around last season not playing an active part & in the main have been loaned out. Of course the fact Afobe & Woods are loaned out is a bonus of sorts aswell. & I'm sure Obi Mikels wages being freed up have come in handy also, things are definitely looking like the clearout has finally been effective & MON should be at last getting a complete squad he's created & happy with.

So he's gone then? Sad for the player that it never worked out here and he didn't decide the ridiculous fee but he was never the right player for how he was played here under two different managers. If he was a Rowett signing that Jones signed off on or a Jones target I can't work out, but he wasn't suitable for Rowett's one up top nor was he a diamond type player. Not enough movement. By the time ONeill got here he was gone physically and mentally, and again he wasn't a player you play upfront on his own as a target man. Hopefully for him, Wycombe will play with a fast forward alongside him with two wingers as you could see him having a decent season in that system at that level. All joking aside, I found it quite painful to see a player marooned in a system that just didn't suit him. It does nobody any favours, least of all the player himself. All the best and close the door on your way out. 😉 I think it was the same manager who signed Bauer and Stafylidis, gave Allen and Bauer new contracts and brought in Etebo.

You aren’t far off there. Any person who has a career of over 400 professional football appearances and 60 odd caps for his country isn’t a shit footballer Blame the manager that signed Vokes and then didn’t play to his strengths. I don't give a shit about his previous 400 games I'm judging him on his time spent with us where in the main he's been absolutely shocking n I don't mean just his performances...he's looked fat n disinterested the sooner he's gone the better, absolute embarrassment. Narrow minded. I suppose if you’d been shit on at work and made to look like the fall guy you’d be over the moon. Think about it

You aren’t far off there. Any person who has a career of over 400 professional football appearances and 60 odd caps for his country isn’t a shit footballer Blame the manager that signed Vokes and then didn’t play to his strengths. Vokes was a good player. Unfortunately when he arrived at Stoke it only took a short time to realise that his body was beginning to struggle to cope with the demands of the game and in the last 18 months that deterioration continued. It is alright saying that if there were lots of crosses hit towards him he would have scored a lot more goals, but I don't see how crosses correlate with him being able to jump again. In the last 18 months, when crosses did come over, his first movement was to push his defender in the back (usually with both hands and not very subtly) in the hope that the referee didn't see it and try and head the ball while still standing on the ground. He probably looked more likely to score when the balls were played into the area at foot height. Unlike some of the others, I don't think he has ever played like he didn't want to be here or put the work in in training (as seen by the message on the official site) but we all get to the stage where we know what we want to do but physically we no longer can. Some realise quicker than others, or maybe some try to convince themselves otherwise for longer. It may very well be that playing at a lower level his "football brain" will allow him to extend his career. Assuming that Ainsworth stays at the club and they continue with the same style of play, he should be a good signing for them as a slightly more mobile replacement for Akinfenwa. Prior to him joining us how many times had you seen him play other than MOTD or other tv appearance? What were his fitness/agility results measured by the analytics guys? Should he have refused to sign? Think outside the box. The manager who signed him and failed to play to his strengths was at fault!!!

Best news of the summer.
He's been brought in to replace Uche Ikpeazu, I think the Wycombe fans will soon find out what a pussy he is in comparison to Uche.

Dreadful signing. Quite why a club that hasn’t played a 442 with genuine wingers since 1988 thought it was a good idea to spend £7-9million on a striker that only does well playing with wingers and a quick player alongside him is mystifying.

It's division 3 in old money if a striker of his pedigree can't score goals in that league then that would be a monumental fall from grace! I don't think he will, his legs have gone and I'm not convinced he'll want to slum it in league one either. He should retire.

In different terms Mick. The “club signed” a player for a significant amount of money (EPL standards) and didn’t play a style of football that would give him the opportunity to payback the investment……..it’s the players fault I wonder who next seasons target of the warriors will be?

I agree Owde. When you consider the types of striker available at the time for a fraction of the price who would have suited us far more, it’s incredibly frustrating. The next boo boy? Those wheels are being oiled already, it’s Jacob Brown.

I'd imagine that eats into a chunk of the money from the Collins deal?
If he had one year left and had been at the club for 2.5 seasons, then didn't we need to recover about 2 million to break even for this season? I know that his value will have been marked down because of Covid etc, however I can't see how Wycombe will afford much of his wages and I doubt he's gone there to make a huge loss at 31.

I would imagine he's glad to get away from toxic fans like some on here. He didn't suit our system. That wasn't his fault. He was paid a good wage and we paid a lot for him. That wasn't his fault. He ran a lot to close press when we didn't have the ball but his body wasn't suited to that game. That wasn't his fault.
I'd like to know what exactly he did to receive all this venom? He seemed like a decent guy if not a brilliant footballer for our club. I'd like to know how many of you would have turned down the money if Stoke had come offering? But then you're not good enough to have got that offer.

He was fat. He was lazy. And he was unfit. 3 things he can control. This poor Sam Vokes Schtick from some quarters is strange. He wasn't fat. Look at that photo. He was well built and not a natural athlete. He wasn't lazy. I don't think his effort could be faulted. He ran a lot, closed down, tried to get into positions to score. I'm sure some players in his situation would have found reasons to be unavailable most weeks. What evidence do you have that he was unfit? He had a body frame not suited to running or turning quickly so was never going to be a quick, agile player however much he trained. Club announcements about departures give you a clue to their feelings for a player if you are capable of making inferences from them. In this case it's positive. No I never wanted to see him on the pitch and knew the game was over when he came on but I had empathy for the situation he found himself in something which I suspect a lot of Stoke fans on here lack and prefer to pour vitriol on a man who seems to be a perfectly decent bloke. I prefer to remember him for the goal he scored at Villa.

Good to get another high earner off the books, it's been a good transfer window so far regarding the clear out of the misfiring elements left here by previous managers. Tbh I thought given Vokes poor form for us he would be as hard to move on as was Wimmer and yet somehow it's been achieved. The transfer team are doing well in a positive negative way.

So some folk are now gushing over him saying it's not his fault.... Don't remember a single one saying the same thing over the last few seasons.... He's been an absolute failure and an absolute waste of probably the best part of 15 million with both wages and transfer fee.... He was wank still is wank, thank the lord he has gone.
