fantastic player massive step forward for us one of only a handful of player to play for 6 different clubs in the premier league and he scored plenty of goals every where he's been top quality professional would be a massive signing for us and would set the standard for others to follow (i brought him in on the X-box and it was the beginning of big things for us maybe it's an omen ) really hope this is true.

Cilla pours more petrol on the Bellamy fire. Get it done. Bring in the arsehole now!! I eventually got the name out of my mate, he says it is very close and could happen over the weekend and would shock a fair few clubs and other fans, other clubs interested but we are surprisingly his preferred destination. It is Craig Bellamy on a year long loan, other clubs want to buy him but Citeh would prefer to loan him and see us as a perfect destination for him, sorting wages out is where we are at apparently. Take it how you want but my mate says if it doesn't happen over the weekend or today then it probably won't in his opinion. GET IT FUCKING DONE NOW STOKE!!!

IF this does happen - and despite being a twat - for a year he would be our twat, and I can see him becoming a huge hit.
This will be huge if we pull it off.

I'd be staggered if we pulled this off.
It can only be that Mancini wants a loan only (and not to a rival), and perhaps Bellamy being settled in the Manchester area, and wanting first team football at centre forward that sways it. Surely not though?
This in an article today, about Hughes hijacking Bellamy's transfer to Spurs.
"Redknapp himself would not be drawn on the Bellamy deal last night. "I like Craig Bellamy but I don't know if they [City] would sell him," said Redknapp after Spurs' 4-1 friendly defeat by Villarreal. "The chairman deals with all the transfers. He asks me what I want and I tell him. I don't know where he's at with Bellamy, if anywhere.""

I'm interested to know how they know he's there no.1 target I'm sure he could well be but I think after only being announced yesterday evening its an educated guess. If Fulham do get Bellamy we really need to go for Simon Davies. I just hope we can stop pissing about and get him signed asap and not let him slip off to Fulham.

We have to hope he doesn't fancy going back down south again, the lure of linking up with hughes might be a problem for us . Maybe, just maybe, man city might not want to do business with Hughes ??? I'm clutching at straws .

I'm clutching at straws . A loan makes more sense - if he's on £90k a week I can't see anybody matching that (especially the likes of Fulham) if he's sold outright. Man City won't loan anybody to Spurs, and between us and Fulham you would have to say we are more attractive from a geographic point of view- him not moving house. Bellamy may know that he won't get £90k a week if he's sold and so would prefer a loan himself, making us favourites... perhaps... ??? I'm clutching at those same straws...

But clutching at straws is where we are because of an inept and slow transfer policy. We will not get Bellamy, nor Cole, nor Pavlyuchenko, nor Keane.
At best we will get the likes of Walters or any other mid championship standard player.
Maybe an odd one 'better player' will join us, but I'm not holding my breath.
I've given up any hope of Stokes current transfer team bringing in anyone who will significantly strengthen Stoke, particularly up front.

He's got a point. I still find the idea of us getting Bellamy very, very remote.

Sausage, why are you and many others so upset at the lack of sigings? I cant see many other clubs signing peope that I think, Damn, why didnt we sign them? Chill your boots people. Keep on like this and we will be like Charlton fans who used to whings about lack of signings and finishin 10th. I know where I would rather be.

I get really fed up of hearing this crap about 'INEPT' transfer policy at Stoke. I mean, yeh players of the calibre of Bellamy, Cole, Pavlyuchenko are REALLY going to just leap at the chance to join Stoke aren't they? Why on earth would they want to hold out for better offers/better clubs? If anyone thinks that players of real quality will sign for Stoke without exploring all their options fully beforehand, they are quite simply stupid. THAT is why it's so difficult for clubs like ours to do business early in the transfer window and why most of us will be signing players in the last day or two. Why is it so difficult to understand? I get as frustrated as the rest but I'm realistic and I know just how difficult it is for clubs like ours to sign the quality of player that we would really like at the club. It's even more frustrating for those charged with trying to sign these players and made worse by the fact that you get labled 'Inept' by your own fans for your efforts.
By the way, Bellamy would be a HUGE signing for Stoke, even on loan. It's seems very, very unlikely to me but......fingers crossed!

Yes it goes wrong sometimes but it does for every club, even Man Utd and Chelsea have signed some stinkers or missed out on targets altogether. We recently beat Spurs in a straight two horse race to sign Begovic. What frustrates me the most is that people get angry over us 'missing' targets that have only been mentioned in the press or on here, and who for all we know we were never in for in the first place. It must be so easy to run a football club, we should all have a go.

He's a quality player who will just get better and better. We should have snapped him up if we're serious about moving forward. Unfortunately I think our management have one eye permanently on the championship and us being back there. At this rate they will be right and the responsibility will lie firmly in their hands

Mr Sausage: I enjoy lots of your posts mate (even though I disagree with many) but you're just so far wrong here it's untrue. Our management team (far from having one eye on the Championship) have been absolutely determined to keep this club in the top division and all of their actions to date have been geared to just that. Some of our own fans on here have a 'one-issue crusade going on with our management because the club have clearly placed survival above 'sexy football'. Our transfer dealings and the club's whole outlook say that we mean to stay up at all costs (except for bankrupting the club) and I fully support them in that approach. If they go for TOP players they are accused of chasing 'unrealistic targets' at the expense of players that we actuall COULD attract. If they go for 'realistic' targets they are accused of lacking the will to progress. If they 'hang on' to try and sign the best they can attract (which inevitably means they will miss out on some) they are labled 'inept. They simply can't win.
In the case of Moses, I too thought he was a decent championship player but he has proved nothing yet in the Premier League and has struggled to even get picked for a very poor side. You can hardly claim at this point that we 'missed out' with him.
