Choupo. The closest thing to Fuller. So let's see. Over the past few days you think West Brom players stealing a taxi is a pisser. You've got Glen Johnson in an SCFC all time Premier League team and now Choupo-Moting is better than Arnautovic. I'm calling troll. That's all you ever do though, Dave. If somebody doesn't agree with you then they're trolling. There are OTHER people who have Johnson in their teams as well. He is/was a very good full-back, and Choupo does parts of the game much better than Arnie. Arnie didn't even want to be here, we got a good deal.

Let's settle this once and for all. Do you prefer watching Choupo or Arnie on our left hand side? Choupo. The closest thing to Fuller.

Because football consists of 11 players on a TEAM. Arnautovic was so greedy and cost us more times than when one of his eccentric plays would actually pay off. He avoided criticism a lot because he was a fan favourite. He had 1 good game in 6 and that's not good enough. If we had him this season we wouldn't be any better off than we are now. Looked at the table recently? Looked at the stats Arnie had for us and how badly we're missing him?! Fucking hell, you'd argue with your own shadow if it meant passing a few spare hours. Yes I've looked at the table and right now you think someone like Arnautovic is the player to save us? Please.... We need the complete opposite of Arnautovic.

Much as l rate Shaq, l wouldn't list 'beating a man' as one of his stronger attributes - one of the reasons l would be playing him at 10 rather than on the wing. In fact, the much criticized Choupo Moting is better at beating his man than Shaq.And Arnie.

Shaqiri is our best player, and has been even when Arnautovic was here. Shaqiri has so much more to offer. As overall players i think they're similar. But Arnautovic performed more for us when he was here. Arnie's strength, his first touch, vision, and ability to beat a man makes him the best player I've seen at Stoke. Yeah all those things you mentioned are just overrated. His touch was good, but people make out like he was Bergkamp. He was strong, his vision was fucking awful and he was slow. Shaqiri can beat a man, has excellent vision, not as strong as Arnie, but still strong, just as good touch and can actually shoot a ball. Shaqiri makes the correct decisions because he's had better coaching.

Well did you watch games when we had Arnautovic? He would consistently miss a free man available and take a stupid shot. It's like he was just a talented footballer but wasn't trained properly. You could watch him in a Guardiola team and he would end up a really good player.

His decision making in deciding to shoot instead of cutting it back for a better chance for someone else. This happened all the time. He was frustrating, and people compared him to Fuller in the same way but he wasn't a patch on Fuller. He also acted like Zlatan, except Zlatan backs it up. It might be selective memory but I really don't remember that happening much. I never understood this frustrating aspect, I don't particularly think he was inconsistent at all besides his finishing. Certainly no more than is normal for a forward player. I love Ric but Arnie is certainly at that level if not better. He had a bit of arrogance yeah, I quite enjoyed the swagger though cause it was a bit of fun and the opposition tended to hate it. He mostly backed it up aswell, he was our best player for all but one of the years he was here. Shaqiri is our best player, and has been even when Arnautovic was here. Shaqiri has so much more to offer.

It's idiotic because you don't agree with it? Right. He's overrated and greedy. The amount of chances he wasted because he was just trying to better himself. You can tell most of his teammates were annoyed with him and his selfish style. How are we a better team without him? Please tell me because you've failed to back up your point.

You can tell most of his teammates were annoyed with him and his selfish style. He wasn't a consistent finisher but I don't see that as being anything to do with selfishness. I'm not sure what chances you mean but with forward players there is a fine line between judging an attempt to create a chance as selfish and daft or just unlucky. It doesn't always work when you're a forward, and after the first season he had where he tried a little too much I think he's been consistently exceptional for us, decision making and skill. His finishing was his only poor aspect. He's certainly the best player i've seen in a Stoke shirt.

We're a better team without him. We can't afford someone like him in our time. He thinks he's 10x better than he is. That's the single most idiotic post you've made on here. Wow, utter shit you've spouted there pal. Plus, what's wrong with confidence? or arrogance as you call it?! maybe, if Choupo put a shift in and wanted to impose himself on the opposition like Arnie did we might not be in so much shit?! face it, we've replaced our best player with someone who doesn't even try half the time. You can have a moan at Arnie over some things but he never hid and always wanted to make an impact, even if it meant him fucking up from time to time. He also offered something no over Stoke player does, movement off the ball and a willingness to run in behind. This single attribute brought out the best in Shaq but now he has literally no one to aim for when he gets the ball and looks up, it's embarrassing. It's idiotic because you don't agree with it? Right. He's overrated and greedy. The amount of chances he wasted because he was just trying to better himself. You can tell most of his teammates were annoyed with him and his selfish style.

Fullers goal vs Villa. If any other player did that..... They'd still be playing it on a loop now if it had been Rooney. Fuller's goal against Birmingham was brilliant, too. It was something you see from players like Bergkamp. Fuller was so good.

You're Austrian so you would laugh. He's the only hope of your team producing any good football. I would agree with you, that he made sometimes wrong decisions (like every football player), but "it costs more than he win for us" is laughable. He has produced most Scorer-Points (goals and assists) every season he was here. Apart from his wrong decisions, he also made the most good decisions every year, you should mention. Walters or Whelan, who weren't able to stop a ball in their last year, cost us more. We're a better team without him. We can't afford someone like him in our time. He thinks he's 10x better than he is.

To me the thought of Gareth Barry stealing a taxi with his pals after McDonalds is just hilarious. Obviously you have to feel for the poor taxi driver. You're an idiot. Okay buddy

He should be more worried about the state of his barnet. I was going to say exactly the same thing. What the fuck is going on with that do? It's like he's trying to emulate Carles Puyol. Just isn't working, Pej.
