Great news. Good window thus far, couple more pieces of the jigsaw left.
I wonder if we shall see Shaqiri play centrally with Arnie and Sobhi signing their respective contracts.

The thing is, you have to take the emotion out of it. You are a fan or supporter of this club and you will be for life, you have the clubs best interest at heart, that is how it should be. The players are employee's of the club, some stay, others move on, some get moved on. When you are a player, your main concern is your career and making it the best as possible. Holding out for a good deal or taking your time to negotiate your next move is no disloyal or arrogance at all - Also Arnie never ever once said he didn't want to be here, in fact he always said the opposite, that he is happy here - Yes he said he wants champions league football, but what is wrong with that? Why shouldn't he aim for the stars? The fact is Arnie did exactly the right thing in negotiating the best deal at the right time. I do not understand why anyone would have a problem with the amount of time it took him to negotiate the most important deal of his career so far. I don't disagree with what you're saying, and yes we all have the clubs best interest at heart from a supporters perspective. It looks like he's staying so all has ended well; however if he doesn't/ hadn't signed then I'd have much rather to have focused on looking to sign a replacement after putting the offer on the table. Which of course the club may well have done. No one is too big for the club though, as long as ALL the employees remember that 😊 Just read his statement on staying here... Says it all

Of course, rather than BOTH of them smiling for the cameras with him, I'd be happier to know that one of them was elsewhere talking to Saido....... time is passing

Now we need to give him time, and with a pre season under his belt he could come good!

Hang on, wait a minute before the jizzfest. If you look closely at the photo, you'll see the pen isn't actually touching the paper! You can't sign air molecules.

Surely that's the point though, it's got to be a money move looking from the outside, so I would understand people's frustration Similar to Bego going to Chelsea, he was lucky to get the number of games he did, but that was because Courtois got sent off and injured I wouldn't mind Coleman or Mirallas coming the other way though. Arnie and up to £10m for them two I would take straight away Fuxache.....you seriously think Coleman would come to Stoke???? I think we are a pretty attractive opportunity, and have a manager who is taking us forward Doesn't matter now anyway seeing as Arnie has signed a new deal, which I can't say I'm as excited about as some on here

We've had worse weeks with signings I suppose 😉
What a time to have had my 1st week of shutdown, 3 days in and 3 cracking signings

Fantastic news.
Apart from his other attributes, how we were going to replace his goals was a major concern.
Get Bojan firing and the season ahead is looking good.

I have said it before - best signing of the summer. I would love Bony and a new CB in now and it will be a perfect window. Well done Stoke!!

Why the hell is Scholes in Training Gear? That's it Sparky, get him running! He is our new centre back partner for Ryan
