Can we just take a moment to appreciate we have one of the league's most in form, and arguably best, players at Stoke City this season?

Still divides opinion though??
Player of the year for me. Been brilliant in a frustrating stop start season

take his goals away and we're down with Palace or worse
Attack wise, have relied far too much on one man this season

It's when and not if he leaves unfortunately. And being honest, I don't blame him for leaving the same reason I didn't have a pop at N'Zonzi for leaving. Great player and very hard to replace.

I have said elsewhere that we will not find anyone as good for the price we would get for him (we will get more than the release price if we are stupid enough to sell him). The moment he went off we went completely off the boil and sat back.

Comfortably our best player and a massive shame he won't be here next season. I'll never forget when we had Stoke fans on here trying to tell me that Adam Lallana was a better player than Arnie

If/when he goes the amount won't matter, its just the fact that he won't wear a red & white striped shirt again....and then how the hell do you find a replacement that would be of similar quality & anywhere near the price that we paid for Arnie in the 1st place?

If he is asking for stupid money, then he will have to go. Just can't see him getting more money on the continent, the clubs he has been connected with , except PSG wouldn't pay more than us.

Just adds to the aura that every now & then someone comes along, joins Stoke City, and makes such an impression that is not seen again for many a moon.....a once in a decade player

Lazy Mercenary Only scored 11 from the wing and the fucker wants a pay raise??? Pffft Unsettles the dressing room
Oh yeah...probably has some kind of "body language" problem as well (and did i mention Championship player at best?)
Think that about covers it

A class act who will be very hard to replace.
If he was a little less erratic with his finishing at times and he could head a ball he could be playing for one of the real big guns.

I think he has matured as a player on the pitch as well. He had the skill but didnt always use it at the right time.
Now he mixes his play - knows when to cross or when to take his man on the outside or inside. Makes intelligent runs into the box and is getting the rewards for it this season.
Lets be honest he wasnt the finished article when he came here by any stretch of the imagination. Arnie has been good for us, but Stoke has been good for Arnie. Maybe that will make him think before he jumps ship

I don't think this is about money. N'Zonzi left for less money so he could play for a team in Europe and have capabilities of winning trophies. I'm sure Arnie would do the same thing. It's pretty clear to me Arnie will only sign a new contract with us if no offer of European football is offered to him, only then he would settle to be our highest paid player.
