Hard to know what this actually means, but.... SentinelMeanwhile, Stoke have made little progress in their pursuit of Dynamo Kiev winger Andriy Yarmolenko for what would be a club record of about £14m were they to pull off the deal.Cold water has already been poured on the 'Yarmo' signing in 'The Sentinel'. So what's the point in chasing marquee signings that won't come off? Isn't it detracting time and effort from bringing in another Moses type footballer that will strengthen the squad! I'm pretty sure we can talk to more than one player at a time...

Or
And amother when will we get the message let's be clear we are not even gettting close the CEO's next level players don't even Even get on a plane..
Something remains fundamentally wrong in our approach and positioning , the squad remains weaker , the transfer find double digit millionsin in profit and public rejections almost keeping pace with the fund surplus Lennon , soares , Yarmo, , Moses , Kono , shaq . Our spine either injured or sold .
Before the clappers start thats not negative, the players the numbes and the departures the injuries just reported as fact by local and national media. supplememted with a long held doubt over our commercial capability

When two players from a war-torn concrete mess, like the Ukraine, turn their noses up at Stoke, you begin to suspect that there may be an image problem

If 'FutbolUkraine' told me it was Wednesday, I'd look at the calendar to check.
He is shameless at adopting the latest bit of twitter nonsense as his own and certainly has no sources of his own

In all fairness FutbolUkraine was right about Kono, wouldn't surprise me if this is correct too. No point in giving him grief about it...
Sign up Carrillo/Townsend/Lennon

Sign up Carrillo/Townsend/Lennon He was all over the place with Kono, simply following the latest twitter buzz which normally turned out to be utter rubbish, and often just making stuff up He probably won't come, but FutbolUkraine is just a bored teenager.

Just like Kono and Shaqiri, we will move on.
Hughes and co have always said that several players are being tracked and I believe that we will secure the services of at least one of them.
Carrillo sounds like an interesting prospect, but the more players get into the "transfer market limelight" - the more bigger clubs than ourselves will be involved.
Some big names on the move now at the "elite " clubs so there will be a snowball effect
Personally I think that we can do better than Lennon, but in MH we trust and I don't think that he will be drawn into buying a player for the sake of it.
Moha, Joselu look like excellent buys imo

Sign up Carrillo/Townsend/Lennon He said he was signing for Sevilla. Then said Kono was signing for Spurs and Atletico. Some Sevilla fans showed him pics of Kono arriving at Sevilla to do his medical and he said it was bs. He knows nothing!

I'm probably going to get a load of @@@@ for this, but I have heard nothing from anyone regarding this. His name has not mentioned. As I said earlier Johnson and shaquiri were our top targets. I am led to believe they remain so. One having signed, the other....... Johnson was one of our TOP TARGETS?!?!?

The facts are we're below all CL teams plus Liverpool,Spurs and probably W.H.U., Everton and even Swansea in the status pecking order. I agree with the posters that we're trying to bridge the chasm between 9th and 6th in one leap. Incidentally, how many fans think just one marquee signing would achieve this? Two, I believe but there is no evidence 'the family' are looking at this degree of spending?

An established England International we have signed for FREE! If he wasn't one of our top targets I would be amazed. Another GREAT signing in my opinion. Well done Carto, Hughesy and Mr Coates!

I've come to the conclusion that there really is a lot of bull going around re signings not just about us but for other clubs too. The truth of it is is a lot of manipulating by press who have an agenda rubbishing teams they don't like and agents trying to get there players better deals.
I think a lot of us me included are guilty of believing the bad rumours eg Shaqiri to Shalke, Yarmo to Napoli, Moses to Spurs, Roberto to Everton and the Peruvian staying and not wanting to believe the potential signings.
None of the above deals have happened yet have they?
I'm still convinced that come the start of the season we'll be stronger and I'm still optimistic we'll get our worldy even if it's late on. The board have done good business so far and couldn't have prevented the 2 departing if there mind was made up so no point in moaning about that. We've not been let down yet.

Got to say people should trust Peter Coates to do the best he can for Stoke to my mind he has always done the best he can for Stoke within budget which is all anyone can reasonably expect. He has taken us from obscurity to top ten finishes so is above criticism on his recent record as Stoke`s custodian,in his previous tenure he simply did not have the resources without risking our future by spending above our means.

As much as it would be good to see players like him sign it doesn't leave me too bothered when they reject us, it's no secret that they'd be hoping to only be here for a season at most and would hope to move on very quickly, it's not the type of player we want playing for us, imagine the shit storm if they had a drop in form and Sparky benched them
We want players that are hungry to play for Stoke, Bojan is the perfect example of the middle ground, he obviously wants to regain the form of his early years and he's hungry for it, i'm sure he wants to be playing in the Champions League ASAP but he never disrespects Stoke, he never acts like he's above us and he doesn't demand more praise and attention than the rest of the squad

Both must surely be in the next catergory or 2 down from the likes of Shaqiri and Yarmolenko, not that they wouldn't be very good additions to the team. Neither are the calibre of player that MH has earmarked though.

When this dodgy Ukrainian Twitter account announces Stoke are close to signing Yarmolenko, you don't believe a word of it. When the same Twitter account claims the player has rejected us, you take it as gospel. Why do you still post here? You are obviously NOT a Stoke fan and you contribute absolutely fuck all to any conversation, apart from a load of negative, mindless drivel, 95% of which no fucker here can understand a word of.

Another GREAT signing in my opinion. Well done Carto, Hughesy and Mr Coates! I'd be very surprised if Soares wasn't our top right back target this summer. Johnson himself said that the Stoke interest materialised quite late and moved quickly - that's not to say that Johnson wasn't Plan B though.
