Should be open all year (tin hat on). Why tin hat on?. Back in the old days that was case and it was OK. I'm all in for all season window under the condition that it'll be only English players who can be transferred all season.

Ramadan subbed out, good performance but could done better (good effort going forward helped them score but missed a very promising chance) . Injure free

Been very up and down so far. His performance or actually running? Both he did very good effort in their goal forced the right back to miss pass which led to the goal then some good runs after that he has been quiet so far.

1- Fletcher 2- Zouma 3- Butland
I don't know what Choupo have done that made some of you chose him in our top 3 when many of our players done more.

arse fan tv should be fun this evening I pity them they have a very good squad but a clueless manger who refuse to change his ways and refuse to accept his failures and short comings.

Good strikers are rare nowadays and they are not cheap. So before paying a big fee for a striker we need to figure our best system and buy a striker who can fit within that system.

I know it isn't terrible but if it took the ref. a few minutes to review his decision it could some problems among fans and even the players. For the perfect call would be to make it like challenges in tennis where every team has a certain no. of challenges per halftime and only the team managers will have the right to ask for a challenge which will remove the pressure from the referee to doubt his decisions. My idea is to have a certain number of challenges per season. If the challenge is successful, it doesn't count against your allowed number of challenges. That discourages frivolous challenges but protects against the most incompetent referee decisions. IMHO per season will be more problematic for teams since managers could be sacked any time during the season which will leave any new manager at disadvantage if the sacked manager used most of the challenges that's why I think per game is more suitable.

OK, how long it took him to watch the replay and make the decision?. Probably longer than it will take as they get used to the technology. In Rugby it really is not a problem. Typically each reviewed decision takes less than a minute and there are probably 5-6 decisions reviewed per game. Remember if there is a pile of bodies and they are trying to determine if a try was scored they need to look at every possible angle. I imagine in football it may be a couple of penalty area fouls and a couple of offside decisions that will be reviewed each game. In rugby it can actually get quite tense. Imagine on Saturday if they went to the video to review Arsenal's goal. You are holding your breath hoping for a miracle because from where you were sitting it looked good. THe whole stadium is watching several angles on the big screen., a huge section of the stadium see the sliver of foot and a roar goes up. The ref looks at it 2 more times and then indicates a goal kick. The crowd goes crazy, it's almost like we scored another goal. It really really isn't the terrible break that some make it out to be. I know it isn't terrible but if it took the ref. a few minutes to review his decision it could cause some problems among fans and even the players. For the perfect call would be to make it like challenges in tennis where every team has a certain no. of challenges per halftime and only the team managers will have the right to ask for a challenge which will remove the pressure from the referee to doubt his decisions.

Stoke city+ has an extended highlights lasts 9 mins approx. on the club website. Ramadan didn't just score but also had two good shoots good development if he keeps it up.

I love the kid but I'm disappointed that he is doing the same as last season with no development or progress sure he needs game time but his performance is still the same he can do everything with the ball but when it comes to making decisions he often chose either the hard one or the wrong one and his hesitation and refusal to shoot. Frankly, I don't know who to blame him for staying the same or Hughes for not coaching him more to develop his skills.

We can give Cameron another go on the right or we can try playing Ramadan there he can defend well and could make a good pair with Shaq

Why? Sobhi offers more and should be playing. He has hindered us so far going forwards. Ramadan is a fascinating player that can beat his man, defend and have a good pass but he needs to get involved more and work on his final product

All three of them should be loaned out at least for this season.

It has been mentioned that PSG wants 22 million and agreeing to that transfer fee is risky even if it was a buying clause after the loan and at the same time not including a buying option is also a risky business which means we either don't have much time to negotiate the buying fee or it was a take it or leave it deal. I think you've completely missed his point there mate. He isn't saying that there should be a fixed option to buy is he? He's saying that the video they've produced looks a bit naff, when it's referencing a loan with no option to buy. It's not the no option to buy he's taking issue with but the video, two different things. I agree with him on the video but I wanted to clarify that maybe it was only a loan with no buying option because we want him to be present at the Arsenal game hence no time to negotiate a better deal.

Some fucking idiots on here Why is it cringey? It's not, its brilliant! Also, didn't we 'AGREE' to buy Bruno at the end of his loan? Basically, PSG don't want him, nobody wants to buy him as it's such a huge risk. So what WILL happen is, if Rodriquez is a success at Stoke, we love him he loves us, we get to January, we want to sign him permanently, let PSG know we're interested in making it permanent. They talk figures... but no rush cause WE'VE GOT HIM UNTIL THE END OF THE SEASON. So, we then get to the end of the season, perhaps he's been a complete fucking revelation and tore shit up all season, thus meaning bigger clubs may come in for him, but he's spent a season with us, we may well get first dabs on him. Stoke pay circa 20 million for him, PSG get what they paid for him. everyones happy. On the flip side, he's completely toss, another Bojan post injury, and we fight relegation and hopefully survive by the skin of our teeth and Rodriquez barely starts 10 games cause we just can't fit him in ahead of Adam. What you have to understand is that some people on this message board HAVE to be right. The argument simply has to be weighed entirely in their favour, whether it's writing players off before they've kicked a ball (and of course hoping to be proven wrong) or criticising the club's transfer dealings without having the slightest clue what problems they may have encountered in negotiations with other clubs, agents, players or other parties involved It probably hasn't even crossed their sorry, tiny minds that the player himself might not want to commit himself to a long term contract. I guess you don't know that a buying option is an option not mandatory including it in a contract means only that both parties agreed to such fee but they the teams and the player can always refuse to comply and go their separate ways as they have the right to first refusal.

You gave me a little chuckle. But on a serious note Ramadan's only hope is for Hughes to drop Berahino or play Diouf along side him. I think his only hope is probably Hughes getting sacked. Though given the fact we won't spend any money he may have to be replaced by Dario Gradi he likes the young ones allegedly. I don't see Coates sacking Hughes unless there is a huge relegation threat. Dario and the young ones. lol he is still suspended, right?

That tweet is so cringey. A loan with no option to buy is the complete opposite of ambition. It has been mentioned that PSG wants 22 million and agreeing to that transfer fee is risky even if it was a buying clause after the loan and at the same time not including a buying option is also a risky business which means we either don't have much time to negotiate the buying fee or it was a take it or leave it deal.

By the looks of it Ramadan won't be even on the bench unless someone of our attacking players is suspended or injured. It's clear that from Bojan, Choupo, Shaqiri, Jese, Diouf, Berahino and Crouch he is Hughes least favorite. He needs to fuck off to a massive club, win the champions league, pick up a major injury, lose any semblance of form, age at least 5 years and stop being so damn robust and physical. He'd then be a Mark Hughes wet dream. You gave me a little chuckle. But on a serious note Ramadan's only hope is for Hughes to drop Berahino or play Diouf along side him.

CUT THE BACKBITING -- PLEASE interesting signing this one -very interesting might be able to get 'in behind' then goals come far easier no threat to Ramadan he compliments our club (as Does Ramadam, as does Moting, as does Bojan , as does Sharkiri)(great white) gives us options might even be our new Cantona - might be a great big flop lets band together - and see - eh ? By the looks of it Ramadan won't be even on the bench unless someone of our attacking players is suspended or injured. It's clear that from Bojan, Choupo, Shaqiri, Jese, Diouf, Berahino and Crouch he is Hughes least favorite.

Sobhi can play on the left. Why has he been thrown under the bus for a lad who hasn't been great since 2015. Sounds like a Bojan. Overrated with the odd good game. If he was prem quality he wouldn't be coming here. He's just been given a pay rise and extended contract. We need competition for both flanks. But we already have Choupo and Ramadan on the left why another left winger?.

The problem is as team we are too slow when it come to making decisions and executing them. Most of our players keep the ball for far too long that we give the other team time to reform and close the game. Nail on the head. We try to play far too safe and don't take enough risks the players won't gamble. Surely thats the way they are told to play we can't simply have a squad full of very conservative players can we? That's right sure moving the ball fast could result on miss pass and some uncomfortable situations but it will also give us more opportunities to score. We never take any risks and We need to either run fast or move the ball fast but we don't have fast players with good pace and we don't pass fast enough to catch the opposing team out of position. No risk No gain.

I think playing Choupo today instead of him was with all due respect to Choupo -he is a fascinating player no doubt- a big hit to his confidence. IMHO, if last season treatment extended to this season he'll ask for either a loan or a transfer by the end of the season if not in January.

Who said that Ramadan would fill Arnies shoes. Think again, he's nowhere near good enough & has got a long way to go. That 2nd division full back today was too good for him. Ramadan is a shadow of his last year performance. Now, everyone should know why Hughes criticized his performance. His head is not in the game that or he feels pressured by Arnie leaving.
