Do you think we should put a flag up? Pennant, get it?

Hallelujah!!! I thought his attitude stunk, didnt give two shits for the club and is an absolute twat of a person. I dont think he will play prem football again. However, Its a shame that a player of his undoubted ability (played for Arsenic AND Bin Dippers) could not fulfill his potential.
Any chance he'll end up at Pulace? (look at Jerome)

Disagree re Pieters. I really like him.
And overall I think Ireland has done well.

Yes his attitude at times stunk
Yes he is a bit if a git
But Jermaine, thank you for your time with us, especially that golden period in 2010-11.
Folk can be as vile as they want now, and it's time to move on, but wanted to show my appreciation.
Some of the comments on here are a disgrace sometimes and make me sad to be a Stoke fan.

So the signings so far: Jermaine Pennant - Shipped out Purely a punt to stop the opposition getting him for free imo Erik Pieters - Bang average, at best Wasn't he committed to before MH arrived? Agreed he is struggling to match Prem standards but has played some good matches. Marc Muniesa - Out of his depth Agreed, but an investment for the future, surely?Oussama Assaidi - Decent signing Agreed, need to see how he progresses and not slip back. Marko Arnautovic - Blows hot and cold, certainly got talent though Agreed, knows how to play with the ball, but not a good player of the game if you follow meStephen Ireland - Jury still out I believe he has done well under difficult circumstances, (long lay-off, different role, stranger in the camp)John Guidetti - Fingers crossed Has all the credentials from a lower standard league, but long lay-off like Ireland so we have to be patient. We don't have time so must sign someone else as well.Not exactly going well is it. Rabbit out of the hat time in the next 7 days. On the plus side we've offloaded some shit out.

Doesn't reflect well when you consider Hughes signed him and in such a short space of time, is getting rid. I know players need to put in the effort, but he couldn't even manage a full year with the honeymoon period of a new manager? Hope that Hughes it's just a clueless clown, making terrible decisions and having to make mess undoing them... Have you read the Sentinel report ? If you had you'll have seen we gave him a contract on reduced terms and WITH A GET OUT CLAUSE IN JANUARY if he didn't perform. He hasn't so we have. A perfectly sensible approach by Hughes/the club I would have thought Well I'm glad the terms protected the club but I was talking about it reflecting badly on both parties really. My Hughes comments were out of a surprise that we pushed for a deal and he has never really looked the part. Was it a mistake altogether (and still will have cost money even with the 'great deal')? Even when he scored and 'won' us two points he was immediately dropped. Just a bit worried about the way it's going. I'm also still not sure about the Ireland purchase myself.

Muniesa....Good fringe player who again will get better. Oussama Assaidi..Great prospect , great goals. Arnautovic...Surrounded by mediocrity..needs pace alongside him Ireland....Needs to build up more fitness and confidence. Guidetti....Good on paper but it's anyone's guess at this stage

He hasn't played much, there was a clause, he's gone.

Well if this is true, I'll always remember the sublime performances of early 2011, particularly Jermaine's do or die efforts in the cup final were he kept going despite citeh taking turns to kick him. Will remember the good memories, good luck JP.

Still a better option than our current right sided winger. One moment of madness doesn't change that. That's absolute, flat out, horse bollocks. It isn't 2010/11 anymore. He's contribute nothing other than a free kick in two years. It's time to let go. I'm not exactly holding on to his clear skill in 2011 and claiming that he still has it all. I'm merely stating that he is still a better player than Jon Walters which says far more about how terrible Walters is than anything else.

Part of a team that got us to our first FA cup final dont forget, he was superb that season and effectively kicked out of the final by that total bastard Wilshire jusy one week before (whom I will never forgive) (i.e. he nobbled him the week before) Jermaine could be a superb and skilful player on his day - but seemingly a tool off the pitch, Given a new chance this season plainly did not step up - I'm a bit sad for him really tonight but wish him all the best.

I find this kind of thread a bit embarrassing. We love to hold ourselves up as being better than the Arse, ManUre fans etc but as soon as its rumoured a player is off, its all the same old shite.
From the sounds of it, weve taken advantage of a clause in a contract (which should be the real big story!!!) and whether you agree with it or not, why cant we have the class to say thanks for your efforts and leave it at that.

I think the 93rd minute against Everton on the opening day of the year may well have made Leslie's mind up but like others have said we had a good season out of him on the way to the Cup final so i suppose we should be grateful for that.Can't help thinking though he's never shaken off his family/father's image and alot of that has rubbed off on him over the years.

Ooooo I'll have a go.
Pennant...Gone, frees up wages, shouldn't have been resigned. Erik Pieters..Average, but nothing to worry about atm. Muniesa....Still young, plenty of time left for him yet. Oussama Assaidi..Not good enough, been found out. Arnautovic...Some good, some bad, wouldn't mind him starting on the left in place of Assaidi. Ireland....Looked good in patches, think we'll see the best of him next season. Guidetti....We'll see.

Usually I would agree with you, but in this case I think the player owe the club more than the club owe him! Was very good for us for almost a season, but again let himself down! Just happy to see him go now!
