Not bad, I'd quite like 67k a week myself! I would be happy with that each month' never mind each week!!! True, in the current climate a year would do nicely as well!

Sounds like about £100k a week gross which if what we heard was correct makes that report sound about right. 67K net would be 127K gross based on our basic PAYE. There's probably some tax saving way no doubt.

I must admit it is getting a bit disconcerting that we keep getting linked with these high(er) profile players and so far we've had 2 out of 3 say no. As some on here have already said maybe we should be bridging the gap between good players (which we have at the club) and very good players and choosing ones more suited to our level etc. We obviously can't even offer them Europa League footie so I can see why this level of player is reluctant to sign for us. You've only got to look at Wet Sham and they have that bargaining chip of European football to offer any potential signings. Don't get me wrong I'd like to see the best calibre of player as possible playing for the mighty Potters, but is it really a case of us trying to run before we can walk? Third time lucky

I used to wonder where the idea that the people of this area lacked ambition came from. No longer, I am amazed that some think we have made fools of ourselves by seeking high profile players and failing. Settling for being mediocre , not trying in case you fail, that is what makes a fool of you.
It's how you feel about yourself that matters most not what some stranger thinks
Keep trying Stoke, you will succeed.

Andy Brassell {European correspondant} on H&J just mentioned us in relation to Yarmolenko. Said if we get him for £15m, it'd represent great value. Said he suited us better than Shaqiri. Sounded generally positive that we'll get him.

True enough, but it's good to hear us talked about as a viable and credible option for these players. No sneers or muffled laughter.

I personally think he's arguably the better player (AY > XS) and as such, despite the higher €, could be seen as better value; but struggle to see why one would suit us better than the other?

So perhaps he was alluding to the fact that Yarmolenko is a bit more responsive to our courtship, rather than 'suited' in a footballing sense. I'm happy that we're pulling out the stops for the right side now, in that sense I'd say he's better suited too.

Yes, I can see that to some extent in terms of his build (more 'traditional Stoke' @ 7ft + ) and that, of course, is contrasted with the comparative umpa- lumpa physique of Shaqiri, but otherwise, they are both fast, top drawer, technically excellent players as far as I can see - so it seems an odd distinction to make in some ways?

Shocking to think we are so poor Arnie diouf and Adam are also appalling and couldn't do anything to win a match on their own.....hang on Shocking to think that we are so good, attracting all the players that we want to sign... Yarmolenko, Konoplyanka, shaqiri- I'm not sure why we've signed so many Wingers! I thought 2 at the most but we obviously couldn't decide between the 3 of them... No team around us is keeping up with our class transfers... Oh wait... Oops forgot the window had closed. Which players should we have signed then or overpaid for no reason other than other clubs will. As was stated earlier the club I not willing to be held to ransom over transfers the money is there it can be spent but you cant force people to do anything. Also going back in our premier league transfer business our better signing have been our cheaper ones with the exception of crouch . Wish people would just have some faith its not that long ago we spaffed half a million on Kyle lightbourne what a disaster that was, breaking the transfer record or the wage cap guarantees nothing. VIS UNITA FORTIOR

Yes, I think the top floor boys have got the bit between their teeth for a bit of a splash of the cash now, so let's hope it's Yarmo - I think he'd be simply mahoosive for us and by far the best of the three we've had the hots for.

I see no satisfactory argument why we shouldn't try to sign such players at this point of the window. Another month & then if no joy then we should settle for lesser (but still good) players. Plenty of Aaron Lennon standard players out there, i.e. good but not amazing.

I'm confident but then I was with Kono, Afellay and Shaq. Can lead a horse to water (and get it to agree to a contract) but can't make it sign!
