It became a thing of the past when football tactics started to be a trend not a coach who see what is more efficient and suitable for the player's he manages.

Quite frightening that , you might be right on the selection , but after the first 4 names it's far from a premier league team , lacks critical physicality in midfield , and a decent pass from any of them , diouf for me a better number 9 than berahino , Cameron would be in my central 4 and tymon and sobi loaned out to get experience , at least 4 short of anywhere near . "Sobhi loaned out to gain experience" Behave yourself...... Actually, If we bring in a winger to be our first choice and Sobhi as his backup then I prefer we loan the lad. Game time will extremely benefits him and us if we want him here.

We lack any sort of Quick passing and first-touch passing.

Wage inflation in the PL continues to accelerate while wages in the rest of the economy remain static. It's a massive bubble that eventually will burst, in the meantime though some clubs will struggle to match these wages and the gap will continue to grow bigger between the few at the top and the rest. One thing for sure, if the offer to Arni is correct then he had little choice but to accept it. Sure, the gap will grow but the clubs that can't pay this kind of money could always invest their money either in the academy or looking for talented young players like Ramadan and Verlinden.

I think one way the club could be improved off the field is to bring back a few of the old players to act as guides and mentors to the current players. Bring back people like Andy wilkinson or Matthew Everinton....... Just a though leave your views below What will they be doing exactly? Training the player we have Hughes and the academy coaches for that. Mentoring specific players, not a bad idea but could produce thoughts of favoritism among the other players.

Why are we so soft with players. If a player hands in a transfer request then he is effectively going on strike so why do we continue to pay his wages? Refusing to pay his wages will give him a chance to go to the FIFA and ask to get his contract terminated which means we will get no money from his transfer.

As good as Sobhi promises to be, he is nowhere near ready for premier league football, he hasn't got the pace for one thing, maybe in a couple of years but certainly not yet And you think he'll stay with Stoke for another two years as a replacement. Actually, I guess if we get a LW and make Sobhi his replacement then it'll be by January or the end of season that you'll find Sobhi asking to either be loaned or transferred to another team where he can play regularly.

Creativity isn't front line exclusive. We need at least RB and CB who can take fast creative decisions to help us going forward rather than keeping the ball for too long or pass it to the nearest player.

Using siggurdson as an example £50m is ridiculous but he's their best player and they obviously don't want to lose him.. the difference? Siggurdson has kept his fucking mouth shut and is doing right by Swansea, they're in a strong position to fleece Everton for as much as they can get, he obviously won't turn Everton down but his leech agent brother isn't trying to dictate to Swansea what is a fair price and saying shit to papers either Arnie and his brother have fucked this transfer up for Stoke far more than Scholes and team ever could Exactly, You can't sell by the price you want when it's known that your player wants to leave and thinks that this price tag is satisfactory.

The only issue is lack of pace. Could prove a big issue. The lack of pace can be solved by strength by put the defender behind his back or by tackling to gain it, trickery which he already shown and the ultimate solution is vision and accurate passing which he can improve. Putting that aside he isn't slow, he is just not as fast as winger should be.

As I understand it Arnie has asked for a transfer due to the clubs lack of ambition? Correct me if I'm wrong.....but that's exactly what a great deal of posters have being voicing in the past month or so! And WHU is full of ambition, right?.

Such a shame that clubs can't get fined / banned for this. West have have basically unsettled him so he's had his head turned before putting in a stupid bid. When they should have contacted the club first. Of course it can never be proved but if I was Stoke I'd sell to anyone but them. Most of clubs do that if not all. First, they approch the player's agent to know if he want to transfer or not and then they start negotiating with the club that holds the player contract. So, don't blame WH but blame Arnie for this. He should said I want to go and focus on training but he put himself in a position where it doesn't matter if he stays or not since either way most of the fans will boo him and will never forget.

Verlinden looks better on the left, which is a shame considering he's got Ramadan and the snake in front of him in that position. By the look of it's either Arnie is going to leave and it's a matter of time before the announcment or Hughes is sending him a message to make his mind or he can play Sobhi and make Verlinden his backup.

Every day passes he makes it harder to defend him. OK Arni you can go but ask yourself that is a bid as low as 20 mil is how you value yourself because unfortunately we thought you worth more than that.

Someone mentioned it on Twitter. Are we taking any money from this ads or not? It's just a ad where they've been paid to appear and the club will get nothing from it. Just like we see "celebs" in this country in adverts. Ramadan is the biggest name in Egypt (along with salah) We should put it in writing that we get a cut from something like commercials use. His move to Stoke certainly increased his fee for participating in this ads. So, we should make some money of it.

Sobhi can be better than Arni but he needs a lot of games and special trainings for shooting and using his left foot and that will take time. Will we be patient with him or not? Can he? I'm not so sure. He hasn't got Arnie's technical ability, his pace or power. He's a good player but him in our side and Arnie out makes us weaker as it stands. I know that why I said Ramadan needs many games to develop, grow some experience and find the best style that suits him to finally produce an end product. That why I'm all with giving Arni extra money as long as it's reasonable amount.

I lov(ed) arnie and was always one to defend him against imo undeserved criticism. However, if the West Ham move goes through, I'll be looking forward to his return and it won't be to welcome him back! I love an excuse for an atmosphere! EDIT: Also, Ramadan will be twice the player of Arnie I have no doubt. Sobhi can be better than Arni but he needs a lot of games and special trainings for shooting and using his left foot and that will take time. Will we be patient with him or not?

I know that and that is the sole reason for me asking that the management negotiate an extra 20k for his salary but if he demands more than that, then he can leave but at least we should try to keep him. You would pay him an extra 1 million a year? If it'll keep him here then yes. We are better with him.

For some people yes more money is an ambition. If WHU are that ambitious more than us then why they let their best player go. Payet himself said he left because he wanted to win trophies and play in the championship league and now Arni wants to join that same team. They let their best player go because they had little choice just as we don't. I know they're unlikely to win silverware or play champions league but I think you're underestimating just how unambitious our club seems to have become to many including a large proportion of our own fans. Can you imagine how many titles Man Utd would have not won if they'd been put off investing in players because they bought Veron and he flopped, which is what seems to have happened with us because we bought a nail(Imbula). Sure, Payet forced his move but he went to a team that can win and also I'm with you that for the past two seasons we were at stalemate with us not going forward and accepting our fallings and losses but we the fans want to win we go to the pitch to enjoy us winning or at least fighting for me the problem lays within the management that they believe that as long as we go to the pitch and the team stays in the EPL then it's enough. What I always wanted for at least the last season was a reaction from Coates or Hughes be it any sort of punishment they see fit for the losses and the disappointment but they gave none.

If he gets another £20k a week it's around another million a year so not to be sniffed at. And he's not going to come out and say money is the sole reason is he? If he goes to a PSG or Milan then I suppose it's understandable, moving to West Ham is not about ambition for me.... Isn't having more money an ambition? Also do we really have as much ambition as West Ham on or off the pitch? Does their activity in the transfer market grind to a halt because a major deal flops? Are they more ambitious on the pitch? we've been getting less and less flamboyant on the pitch for a good 18 months it seems that's the way Hughes has decided to go. For some people yes more money is an ambition. If WHU are that ambitious more than us then why they let their best player go. Payet himself said he left because he wanted to win trophies and play in the championship league and now Arni wants to join that same team.

Any player want trophies but WH isn't the team that will help him win any it's a mid table team just like us. So there isn't any promises of improvement or trophies. It's about money mate.The lack of ambition thing deflects the blame over to the club,and there are plenty on here ready to lap it up.If he took his finger out of his arse and performed a bit himself then we would be a little closer to realising our ambition. I know that and that is the sole reason for me asking that the management negotiate an extra 20k for his salary but if he demands more than that, then he can leave but at least we should try to keep him.

If he really wants to leave then the management should set with him and ask him if it's for better salary then we should negotiate increasing his salary by a reasonable amount. If not and he insists that he leaves then ask him and WH for a delay till January. So, that we can evaluate our options or at least gain some time to integrate Sobhi while we still have Arni. Arni wants something he knows we can't give him: trophies, which require us to spend money we either don't have or appear unwilling to spend. I fear he's right about the lack of ambition. It's all a bit discouraging. Any player want trophies but WH isn't the team that will help him win any it's a mid table team just like us. So there isn't any promises of improvement or trophies.

I'm not saying we should not hold on to and cherish this sentimental value and we love stock and will support the club no matter what but if spending some more money on a player who gave us a lot of joyous moments.A money that he thinks that he deserves won't do us any harm as long as he doesn't go over board with his demands. How much more than 80 grand a week would you consider over board ? any thing more than extra 20k and he can go for me. As I said negotiate with him and make him think he is of a value to us but also don't let him think that without him we are lost.

And him fucking off will solve what?. We're in a new era of football an awful one but we should decide to either stay sentimental and hold on to the principals of the old days when players were not swayed by money and fame or get along with knowing that now money and fame is what the majority of the players seek and want. Football as we know it is coming to an end and now it's just like any business and only the fans that are loyal. Well I for one pefer the sentimental option One team needs to make a stand And I hope it's Stoke and I don't care if it takes us to non league I will still support Stoke how many more on hear can truthfully say they would I'm not saying we should not hold on to and cherish this sentimental value and we love stock and will support the club no matter what but if spending some more money on a player who gave us a lot of joyous moments.A money that he thinks that he deserves won't do us any harm as long as he doesn't go over board with his demands.
