Guys I actually know staffordscfc and he had text me what he's posted on here also. As he's mentioned he attends all games home and away and has no reason whatsoever to make up what he's quoted.. He would definitely have seen Scholes on the tube today and he'd of written exactly what he'd been told.. The way the windows been progressing so far it sounds feesible that barring one more surprise incoming we dont yet know about that our business is more or less done.. Take it or leave it but this info will be 100% pukka, my mate will have chatted to Scholes on the tube after the game tonight. What's with the double full stops? No punctuation I've come to accept but over punctuation.......!

Of course, even if we take the original post at its word, there's no particular reason to believe that Scholes would decide to let someone he met on the tube know all the details about our transfer activity and wouldn't just lie.

It wouldn't surprise me After the Odemwingie deal is complete I think a few of us are expecting the statement of 'The club does not anticipate making anymore signings in this window' just like back in the summer.
Majorly disappointing if true.

I wonder if he changed his mind after the game when he sat at home and realised how shit our strike force is.

It's probably true sadly. Scholes is a clown.

This transfer window has been the predictable disappointment that we all expected.
We have fast become a vey unattractive club to join and it gets worse each window,
We must be the least mentioned club in terms of rum ours, let alone firm activity.
Doom and gloom, but it's the truth.

If staffordscfc is who i think it is, i preetty well go every away game with him, but i was unable to go today. This bloke dont miss many games, and trust me this will be 100% bang on, I also know Callas12, and he is bang on with what he says.

I've Just been sat on the underground next to tony scholes. He says all the deals we wanted are done, there may be one more signing in the pipeline. I saw Anthea Turner in River Island once. She was looking at gloves.

It's not wholly unreasonable to think that Scholesy would catch the tube to the match - it is a lot more efficient than driving by car. It's not all helicopters and hovercraft you know. As for the tips? Again not too much of a stretch that he'd appear personable and open without really giving too much away. Would anybody who's supported Stoke for more than 2 seasons be really surprised if there was no more business ? Or that we were after 1 more long shot that may just drop if somebody is prepared to take a wage cut in a WC year? I'd say this one is slightly more believable than Coatsey nipping down to the atm to get some cash out for the Glazers or whoever.

I have no way of knowing whether the original story is true! But i work in the Railway industry and i do know that when we play in London Scholes does travel by train from Crewe to Euston!

So this bona-fide mate of yours ( you're his son, right ? ) was on a train from Edgeware Road ( which is in NORTH London, nowhere near Chelsea's ground ) to Euston so TS could get the train home ?
Right...................he went a very long way round from Chelsea to Euston then, tut tut for an educated man

I take it you don't go to many away games nottinghamstokie, for your benefit the journey we took was Fulham Broadway to edgeware road on the district line, then edgeware road to euston square on the circle line. If you'd bothered to check west bromton overground where we usually go was shut on Sunday for engineering works!!!!!!!

Even scholes wouldn't discuss our transfer dealings with some random fan.

robinreliant - Im quite proud of my green star!
You might have numerous yellows stars but your clearly part of the my dads bigger than your dad brigade!! Do stars make you anymore reliable?!
Peter Coates naturally knows more than you do SCFC & I bet he has no stars on here so your points pretty flawed.
As it happens we've had someone with yellow stars vouching for us anyway. Not that we'd need your blessing to post anyway.
Enjoy your star parade, must make you shine with pride!!

Did not realise I had yellow stars Mark lol.
It just makes me laugh in general, how someone with very reliable information comes on, yet people who probably join in on the where to watch thread "try the Britannia Stadium every other week", or plays football manager to say how good a players ability is, slag them off.
Information which the majority of us would like to have shared, should be out there in the open, but when people have minimal posts, they get jumped on by keyboard warriors, who have never really ever posted anything of any significance.

I don't know whether staffordscfc is being misleading or has been misled, but I have to say, the crux of what he is saying (probably no more business, maybe one exception) is entirely believable.

I don't see the issue with what the lad posted, we have missed out on a lot of targets it seems, although we have still managed to bring in a couple of players (make of them what you will). The club obviously aren't going to pay big fees or panic buy, so if its business done then fair enough.
However its still a shambolic transfer window on our part, relying on players past it, they all want the fucking sack!!!!
