Why is he an idiot? If he's had a better offer else where why would he not take it? I'm not sure if you are aware bit stoke are not the Real Madrid of the Uk and down town Stoke is hardly Saint Tropez. I've spent the last forthnight in southern France. What's so fantastic about it!? The sun, the sea or the beaches? Nah, give me a rainy day in Stoke every day! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/0m0lbCuTEBzaRn6f8QaM.gif) Rennes is in Northern France.

For a professional footballer, that should be more of a consideration than a bit of sun. His stock will go up considerably if he performs well in the Prem.

Anybody else think this saga is starting to make our club look desperate? Sign or move on time for me.

Looks like Oliveira may just make it into our "certain signings gone wrong" list alongside Demba Ba, Carlton Cole, Popov and many more.

Hughes plans to sell Peter Crouch and Kenwyne Jones, the strikers, but his hopes of signing Nélson Oliveira have been dented after Newcastle United and Rennes expressed their interest in the 21-year-old Benfica forward, who is available on loan.

This is why it's important for the club to play their cards close to their chest. My guess is that most clubs and managers do this however it seems to be the agents who leak information about deals to give themselves and their players more power and influence.
Not easy for the clubs I'm sure however in this case it looks like a deal was agreed and then a better deal has come along. You can't blame the player for taking something better.

Can only assume that he's going to be a nailed-on starter there. Difficult to see that being the case here. If so, can't blame him for wanting that option. A guy with his limited number of starts needs to be starting games every week?

Not a big deal if we miss out on a loan signing.
Hardly going to make or break our season.

For a player most on here had not even heard of a couple of weeks ago who has had only a few starts it's starting to look like this is overkill. Time to move on. Or we could charter a jet, fly him over, show him the set up and he signs. Works every time. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/0m0lbCuTEBzaRn6f8QaM.gif)

Over the past few days all we've had to go off are a few tweets and most of the has he signed/ has he not signed has come from these tweets and on this forum. It could be a simple case of making a bid then waiting a week for a decision. We could really just put this thread to the side until he/his club finally make a decision. I expect SCFC aren't really following up too much on this deal and are looking at other targets.

Same old cobblers from you, that is. Always nice to follow your agenda by blaming various figures at the club for a player behaving like an arse.

Don't know why it's taking so long to make his move to Rennes official, it was completed a couple of days ago apparently.

Tell me more! Chasing our tails, no strategy, blazing incompetents making decisions, just like the previous 7 years.

You're the one who's making statements about the club that seem to be completely without any foundation in fact. Where's the actual evidence for anything you've just stated? Mere supposition based only on your myopic hatred of certain 'men in suits'. Were you molested as a child by an insurance salesman?

My observations are based on the fiascos of virtually ever window since we got promoted. Fancy words, fancy job titles, same old excuses. No by the way are you currently being fingered by a man from Blackburn called Tony?

Be interesting to see what our back up is. Its obvious Hughes wants an aggressive, pacy front man with a number ten type behind.
If it is from Oliveira to Taarabt, as has been mooted in the press, then im not quite sure what its telling us.

I don't believe there has been any comment from the club on this particular transfer at all, so how can you say anything about 'same old excuses', when there have been no excuses? Agenda, agenda, nothing but agenda. Give it a fucking rest, you're just tiresome.
