Shouldn't we just wait and see what develops today? I take all these player links with a pinch of salt tbh' the only one I was gutted about was cedric Soares, as I felt he could've improved us, but these bigger name stars are always going to be harder to attract. I have faith in our club, but getting this 'Star' player may not happen this season, we have to be patient. (On an aside though I see southampton signed Jordy Clasie...they seem to have done some sound business again, but let's see how it pans out next season....) Who will Classie replace in there first 11 Tavic or whatever his name is. Well according to the press Koeman has said he's a perfect replacement for schneiderlin

The suggestions that he would be bench warming at most CL clubs are ludicrous tbh.
Apart from Barca, Real, Bayern and the 4 English clubs, he would be a sure starter in ANY other team.
Any teams from France, Italy or Portugal for sure. The others in Spain and Germany as well.
I can quite easily see many teams coming in for him at that price and expect him at a Porto or PSG or perhaps Monaco.

The star player has got to happen Michelle and happen soon Otherwise there'll be suicides galore on here as they won't be able to cope WTF have we become Tbh I have to pinch myself at some of the players we are linked with, but then I started going to watch Stoke in the early nineties, I'm really pleased with where we are....star player, or no star player!!!

A new era can we make ourselves a long term top 12? Que sera maybe. We deserve a giant stride to a regular 7th-12th place.The security would be great. It would be fabulous for our Peter Coates to do this for himself and us.His beloved stoke city.

We have become the "Fluffer" for all these Eastern Europeans to get a move to a Champions League club.

He would walk into every team in the league!

Without being cynical, I wonder what time frame we've put on this one and when we're going to 'move on' to our next target.

Christ, where do all our posters get this in depth knowledge of Yarmalenko's ability from. Most of the posters on here will have seen him play once in the flesh, and 5 or 6 times live on TV. He plays in a crap league, but admittedly seems to play okay against British teams in the Europa League. On that basis our fans have elevated him to super star status. A little bit of perspective wouldn't hurt. IF he comes, he MIGHT be brilliant, equally he MIGHT be a real flop. Nobody on this board has seen enough of him on a consistent basis to really know how his form would be in the EPL. If he signs, great - if he thinks he is deserving of a better club than SCFC, then let's watch the Madrid's,Barca's, Utd's of the world fling millions of € at Kiev.

Think this story has run it's course, and is a load of bollocks, we're obviously after a winger but it's not him.

He would walk into every team in the league! of course... Even though there is hazard, sanchez, di Maria, depay, aguero, Costa, fabregas,etc... Don't be so ridiculous if a top team wanted him they'd be in for him but they're not... He's only played in the crappy Ukrainian league with nobody to compete against so take ur thick tin hat off and try to be realistic instead of deluded!

So most of them in your list are pointless comparing.

There's still sterling, Willian, di Maria, sanchez in each of the tip teams ahead of him, all of whom can play on the right!

It may well have been going on for longer than most think already possibly as long as the kono deal.
The owner/chairman named us in a that interview on dynamos site that is dated 8 June, we must have placed a bid or at least shown our interest back then otherwise naming us out of any other team is just bizarre.
Were we trying to pull off a double signing of Kono and yarmo at the same time?

I know but that isn't What he wrote and he couldn't get in the Chelsea, arsenal, man City team anyway as well as man utd maybe I've no idea how good he is, I've hardly seen him play but I do think Right wing players is a problem position for a lot of teams. The only player in your list that plays right wing is Willian and I don't think he's anything special. Man city have got Navas who's not really lit up the premier league. Liverpool have Markovic. Arsenal even played Ramsey right wing quite a lot last year. Can't even think who was Utd's regular right wing ? Valencia was wing back wasn't he ?

If we're courting superstar players who should arguably on talent be involved in the Champions League, we should prepare to wait until the transfer deadline until they decide to settle for us. Why would they join Stoke in July? It makes no sense. I just wonder whether we'll blink first and sign someone a little more in our league, rather than risk going into the new season understaffed.
