Decent figure, thought we'd get closer to 500k, suppose he's still young. Well done Dicko, brilliant during promotions season but not good enough for the prem unfortunately.

Despite having just played for us in Austria today. Bizarre if true in my book.

A far better defender than Danny fucking Collins.
Gutted we've let him go really...would have been a sound back up.

In my heart I'm gutted was a very good defender but £750,000 is decent enough

I was expecting a million, but hey ho.
I always thought Dicko had more chance of making it in the Prem than Wilko

A far better defender than Danny fucking Collins. hardly a ringing endorsement though is it? ;D if we're serious about improving this guy is only going to slip further and further down the order

good move for all concerned, we have moved on Based on what exactly? Is he any worse than Danny Collins who cost 3.5m?

Personally, I would've thought we could squeezed a bit more dosh for him tbh, comparing his ability to that of other players of similar ability who have gone for more. It's a good move for him though, as I suppose he is more likely to get first team football in the Championship, although I would say he'd have a bit of a job in competing with the captain and present left-back Callum Davidson. Saying this though, I wouldn't say that there's much difference in quality between Dicko and Danny Collins. But yeah, he's always given his all for this football club and indeed by the sounds of it, every club he's been loaned to as well. Good luck for the future Dicko!! .

I'll bet Barnsley are a bit miffed. He was really rated by them and all the talk towards the end of the season was that they were going to sign him.

Good luck Dicko, you will always be a legend at Stoke, not just for your attitude, but for singing Delilah like try Stokie, live on SkySportsNews

Good luck to Dicko.
Don't get me wrong PNE are one of my favourite Championship clubs based on their previous constant failure to win Play-off matches and like most Stokies good memories from Deepdale. But were they not in a bit of financial mess earlier and spending 750k on a LB seems crazy.

Good luck Dicko, I'll never forget his celebration when we went up. Gutted he couldn't cut it at this level, thought he was the better full back of him and Wilko but there you go. All the best Dicko.

750k? what a shit price for a good player. we give players away, if he played for cardiff he'd be worth 2 million.

I agree re: Danny Collins
Dicko is a much better defender and we got horse whipped paying what we did for the abject collins !

750k for someone who has been farmed out on loan for the best part of two seasons ain't bad, by Stoke's standards anyway!

Never allowed to cement his Prem credentials in the way Wilko has, with the hopeless Collins preferred instead. A very disappointing sale for a number of reasons IMO.
Good luck Dicko in any case, go off and prove Tone wrong!

Hackett - Are you seriously suggesting that Danny Collins is not better than Dicko ?!?
I would suggest that there is a reason for the number of EPL games that they have both played.
DC won the North East Footballers Player of the Year award and if you talk to Sunderland fans they will tell you he is a decent player.
Fair enough it's not gone well since he joined but I wouldnt write him off just yet. I seem to remember Higginbotham, Lawrence and numerous others taking time to settle in.
If you are serious about him and Dicko (who simply is not good enough for the EPL) then boy am I glad you play no part in the hiring & firing at the club!!

FFS I give up on the official text service - I hear about Donko to Pompey on Five Live this morning and now Dicko via the 'Daily Mail'.
