Meeting was yesterday, nothing to report new from it. But ATM there is activity at CW with a rare attendance from JC. Know idea what it's about but we are trying to find out Read more: oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/232863/yarmolenko?page=25#ixzz3AGZFYCRcdon't think the SL&P guys would be embellishing anything for the OP....don't you realise there's an ITK war going on and they're on opposing sides??? whoever wins ends up with a Gazza Strip or something i believe I don't think he was suggesting that the SL&P guys were embellishing anything mate but rather that the OP had picked up on what they'd said about JC and embellished THAT for his post. i don't give a shit Paul...for the first time in years we actually seem to have not just one but a whole plethora of ITK-ers that actually DO seem to know their shit* (and then there's Hackett bless 'im )!! even Cilla hasn't been needed too much this summer! * However if we don't sign Yarmolenko and he signs for someone else then i'm blaming the OP for naming him on this thread

Only thing added on cranson post is a time frame of before man city match. All along we have said it's just about agreeing fee with Kiev, the player understands what deal would be offered to him so terms won't be a problem. JC was at training ground yesterday afternoon, I have know idea if he stayed on till late to make this call or not. But Scholes or Cartwright were not at CW for the call. Cranson has got a lot right to my knowledge in his opener to the thread and his revelation part way though, let's hope this latest post is true, I just have my reservations as it does not match up with what I have been told, but like I said before I don't know everything, know body does unless your name is John/Peter Coates, Mark Cartwright, Tony Scholes or possible Mark Hughes Fortunately for me, my full name is actually John Coates Peter Coates Mark Cartwright Tony Scholes Mark Hughes III and I know everything. Brazilian father, you see. Loves a long name.

But do you know if this N'Zonzi story is true or not? Not heard anything about Nzonzi moving on, and especially to palace. Nzozni was not happy in the past playing the system Pulis had him playing, from what I saw of palace last season TP has not got them playing any different to what Stoke did in the 2nd and 3rd season in the prem league. The only reason he would move to palace is a big wage rise, is Parish as soft a touch as Peter Coates and giving TP what he wants when it comes to recruiting players. All I can add is we have added at least £9million to the wage bill already and under FFP rules we can only increase by £4million so somewhere we need to shed £5 millions worth of wages, we only shipped Ethers and Kightly off so I would imagine another top earner other than palacios need booting off.

This saga does remind me of the chase for Peter Osgood in the 70's.
Let's hope that this time we aren't gazumped by Soton.

Good meeting last night at CW. Lots of positives, telephone conference call to Kyiv involving a high ranking member of the Stoke BOD. Everything agreed with player. Just a final few hurdles to sort out with his club. Then it's a waiting game. Balls out of the bath, I would expect him to be in the Stoke squad for the Man City game. The telephone conference call sounds cheesy as fuck. Why? You can get people from all over the world to dial in and talk at the same time, it's how business's get on quickly these days.

RE: The grammar and such like, i don't think it's getting arsey for arsey's sake. Is that correct English or appropriate given the nature of some of this thread? Yes it is.
Folk want to make points on message boards or pass on highly important information, so they want to be taken seriously and if the spelling has gone for Burton then it negates your thingy. You know, the boofer.
If you write...
Yarmerlenko deel is dun, i hav an foriegn freind who sed for all intensive purposes tommorrow their announsing it. Fink we might as whale giv up chaseing Redmund.
No offense but if he dus sine, i'll hav a organism.
Then you may not be taken seriously, having said that, there are "important" people on twitter who misspell words all the thyme.
What do i know? I'm lack toast and tolerant.

A great many linguists would argue against the concept of "correct" English, and say instead that there exist only standard and non-standard forms. Language is a social construct subjective to the individual, if I can make myself understood why on earth should I have to conform to the arbitrary rules of "correctness"?
I'm sure the author of Beowulf would be turning in his grave at how we speak today in all forms!

If your are "lack toast and tolerant", I would assume that means you have a great lack of taste, kno? ( I'm in a hurry so I didn't bother using the shorter and correct spelling "no" ) After all "lack" of "taste" is what helps one to digest tolerance to a lack of toast.
