We didn't have a clue about Bojan and neither did any of our contacts (so they say) so yeah it was kept very quiet which in a way I'm glad. Yarmo would've still been quiet if it wasn't for the mail (even though a lot of people guessed it was him) I think even though a few had guessed him, his price/wage demands probably had most of us thinking a load of rubbish. To be honest had you said we were linked with Bojan before he was spotted, I'd have probably laughed & thought you'd been on magic mushrooms. This is new ground for us & we're aiming at higher class players than we're used to, so a lot of us are still stuck with the, 'yeah like they'd come to Stoke' mindset. Certainly exciting times to be a Stokie. It is what a difference 12 months makes.

Will be interesting to see if Redmond is in the squad for Sundays game against Wolves.
Should tell exactly how close he is from a move away...if at all!

I wonder sometimes if people expect too much from the SLP boys, I mean realistically they don't ever claim to know every in and out at the clu, only details every now and then when they hear them. While we don't hear that much 9 out of 10 times their info is rock solid so you can't complain too much! Far better then having mugs on here latch on to every fucking riddle that davesviews posted, or go with Hackett's tactic of throwing shit at the wall till one of them finally sticks... We wish we did know about every deal what was happening but unfortunately same as you say we don't. We didn't know about Redmond either until recently if I told you who mentioned Redmond first you'd probably laugh at me (a former poster on here)

If you could guess a percentage likelihood, SLP lads, what would you put it as? I don't do percentages Davesviews is the man for them I'm hopeful just depends if Kiev accept our bid.

You know as much as anyone else when it comes to who is talking to who at SCFC, which is ZERO. They've got loads right this summer mate and as far as i'm concerned, if they say we're in for the one with widge concussion, then we're in for him. Thanks for confirming you position mate

If we sign Yarmolenko we'd be frightening going forward.
Bojan, Arnautovic, Yarmolenko & Diouf. Fuck me that's about as good as it gets.

A few things have changed lately. The player has become increasingly interested in the premier league and everything which goes with that. The vast majority of the deal was agreed on Wednesday afternoon with reps from all sides. Stoke will pay good money for this "next level" player. The club want European football here next season. He will earn 40k per week, with add ons, appearance, goals and assist bonus. There is also a hefty signing on fee. Player has no problems with what's being offered. Club must now meet again to sort agent fees and with Kiev to agree payment structures. We have given them a choice of a few players aswell as a sweetner. Player should have a medical in Switzerland on Monday, the club Believe He will be a Stoke Player sooner rather than later. The club expect him, and redmond to arrive and wrap up our business. I take it with Yarmolenko playing tonight Kiev are not very impressed by our 'sweetners'? If the deal was close then surely he'd not be playing tonight? Him playing for his current contracted club, the ones who pay his wages, is hardly groundbreaking where this deal is concerned. Despite popular belief a players potential new club has no say in requesting a club does not play him. That would be madness. Especially as no deal has been 100% done.

My little sister just saw that front line and said "ooh, that's scary".
I will be contacting the club to complain.

TS and Mc in two places at once hey!! They were in London all day with Redmonds reps then they were with them at the Brit that evening watching the match. Sorry I would love to believe you if I didn't know where they really were. Your sources are obviously on the pulse with that deal. However, clearly your 'sources' were not acutely aware of the AY talks as these were NOT conducted by MC or TS and were NOT held in London.

How do we expect to keep Arnie Bojan Ireland Diouf Adam Redmond Odemwingie Yarmolenko happy? What a terrible worry that would be. We're probably best off having about 11/12 players who are excellent and then fill the rest of the squad out with average players who don't care about playing and are content to sit on their backsides or go out shopping with their missus on a matchday. Then we'll keep everybody happy. Unless you're Blackpool, Portsmouth or Plymouth in recent times, who dunna have enough players to get annoyed at not playing, you're bound to have players in your squad who do get disgruntled at not playing regularly. It happens whether these players are any good or not. There'll be players at Oxford who are annoyed that they're not playing just as much as there are at Man City. I'd personally rather have a Nathan Redmond, Peter Odemwingie or a Stephen Ireland being miffed at not getting much game time rather than a Cameron Jerome, Brek Shea or Ryan Shotton doing similar. It's up to the manager and his staff to deal with all that malarky, i don't worry about it. You can't think "Hang on, we'd best not sign this fantastic player because then we'll have a player who this guy replaces who will be annoyed at not playing regularly" It runs alongside this cockeyed notion that a minority have that the club are changing things too quickly by bringing in players. It's nonsense, if you can improve, then improve. Last season it was clear, even during the brilliant tail-end of the season that there were positions that could do with strengthening and could help push us on. We then go and sign a few players and the dreaded "QPR" rubbish starts appearing. Ixnay on the worry-ay.
