Not 'yarmolenko quality' but zardes is having a game so far v. Cuba.

BM Think you will find name calling and dickhead insults, are a sign of lack of literacy and ability to articulate ones feelings, due to lack of vocabulary or intellectual capacity. Are, you, pausing, for, effe....? Ah fuck it its hopeless.

Yeah - doesn't seem anything new, just lazy journo sensationalism.

Does seem a tad previous.
Like the poll at the bottom too:
"Stoke fans, would you be happy signing Yarmalenko?"
Obviously that should read:
"Stoke fans, would the whole of S-o-T drown in jizz if you signed Yarmalenko?"

You know, as amazing (and probably unrealistic) as signing Yarmo would be, I'm troubled by Leslie's suggestion that if we pulled someone like him out the bag we would be done for the summer. CM does worry me. I'm not entirely sure I wouldn't rather take the €20m (£13.5m?) and offer it to Spurs for Dembele and Lennon. Less exciting, but more realistic and more chance of them sticking around for more than one season...

I'll be honest. I'm all in here. Chips, shirt, beer, shoes...the lot.
If we don't sign him, i'll be gutted.

Again if this transfer happens it has to be quick.

He's better than Konoplyanka. Great signing if true.

The problem I'm having is that each time we chase a stellar target like this and fail, the disappointment makes me more cynical about the next one, but the targets (imho) keep getting better, so I can't help but get excited. Yarmo is, for me, the most exciting of the lot but, logic and experience suggests, probably the least obtainable. Kono (the least exciting for me) was probably our best chance. It's an emotional rollercoaster, Clive. Fuck it, I'm in.

3rd time lucky? Everyone loves a trier but maybe we should be shifting our attention to players with easier to pronounce names? I've heard good things about this Bert Smith, my source says he's built like Jon Parkin but moves like Messi, do with it what you will I hope to God your source got the player references the correct way round. 'Built like Messi and moves like Jon Parkin' could seriously damage ticket sales.

Probably done for the window if we get him, really?
Can't be far off break even for the window, target achieved, bravo, really is pathetic if we're only looking at one player.

We've signed 2 keepers, striker, right back, centre half and a midfielder, so yeah a right winger of his quality will be enough. What more do you want? I'd call it far from pathetic!!!

I think we're doing fine for me we only need a RW as a priority and perhaps another CM upgrade. The only other purchase I could see us making is a CB if Ryan's injury is serious.

We've signed an unknown keeper, a 39 year old keeper and let a world class keeper go for peanuts, a right back who can't defend, a CH who frightens the shit out of me and a CF who's got something to prove and a young unproven CM who isn't a patch on NZonzi.
Quantity not Quality comes to mind.

The shawcross injury is quite a worry imo, I'm happy with what we've done so far though.

He's a much better player than kono imo. But the mirror story just seems like recycled twitter rumours.

Quantity not Quality comes to mind. How do you know van ginkel isn't a patch on nzonzi? As for wollscheid I'll trust sparkys judgement over yours trigger as he works with him daily, the unknown keeper was shit hot the other day and was recommended by Sorensen n I'd trust his judgement over yours aswell trig oh and the former international right back on a free transfer? Bad business ay? nowt up with joselu either, wtf do you expect? Bego wanted leave as did nzonzi, it happens!!!

Quantity not Quality comes to mind. What I would say though is we had a pretty decent squad to start with which will be boosted with Bojan and hopefully the return of a fitter Odem. As Hull proved last season too many changes can have a negative impact on a side. The likes of Villa and Newcastle are far more desperate than us so may rush in players and spend big but as we've proved in the past we still consistently finish above them. If our best 11 next season looks something like this we'd give most teams a run for there money. ................Butland................ Glen.......Ryan..........muni......Eric ........Van Ginkle....GCam............. new RW............Bojan............Arno ..................Diouf................ and we're certainly not short of cover either GK - Given, The Norwegian RB - Bardsley LB - Wilson CB - Wilson, Wolfie, Tex. DM - Whelan, Sidwell, Adam. RW - Odom, Walters. LW - Moha AM - Adam, Ireland, Shenton. STR - Joselu, Crouch, Walters.
