Imbula would be like having Yaya Toure in the Championship. Hopefully he stays. Yaya Toure would be like having Yaya Toure in the Championship.....can't we get him instead? Yes, I know - there would be about 150,000 reasons each week as to why we could not!

I'm pretty sure Imbula isn't clever enough to be in charge of his own social media pages. Especially seeing as how it's in English.

As per Berahino - give him some time pre-season to see if he's up for it.
If we don't give it a go we've got a couple of expensive time wasters on the books. If it doesn't come off we've got a couple of time wasters on the books...but if it does come off we've got two players who could give us that bit extra you need for promotion out of the Championship.
Take away his defensive responsibilities with a couple of DMs behind him and Imbula could be a the sort of attacking midfielder that could terrorise most Championship defences. He's certainly got the quality (when arsed) we simply aren't going to attract in teh transfer market as a Championship club.
I know...dream on....

1. Ditch the gloves (keep one pair in case it snows - we will allow that) 2. Learn English (like, now, not in two years' time) 3. Follow the manager's tactical instructions (especially the ones about tracking back) 4. Put in some damned hard work (breaking out in a sweat for your 70 grand a week will win favour with the fans) 5. Bloody smile occasionally (you are supposed to be enjoying playing football)
Then, maybe, just maybe, we might have the player on our hands that we thought we had signed.

If Rowett can get anything out of him he's a genius. We'll be top of the league all season too because if he can get him fit and firing then he's light years better than anything Wolves had last year.
Yet another pointless post by me here, because this won't happen in a million years so...

If only he had an altercation with a cyclist and was arrested for battering his wife. There'd be a queue of folk claiming he was better than Hudson.

If/somehow Imbula could get motivated he would be insanely brilliant in the Championship, perhaps with Osborne and Pearson behind him.
However he's clearly not going to be remotely interested.
So frustrating.

Galatasray seem to be linked with loaning any Stoke player at the moment - would prefer they took Imbula rather than Ndiaye

Bloody smile occasionally (you are supposed to be enjoying playing football) Then, maybe, just maybe, we might have the player on our hands that we thought we had signed. If they play well: 1. I don’t care if one of our players wants to wear his undies on his head, let alone gloves on his <horror> hands 2. Speaks only Klingon , let alone a language which is fairly easy to interpret 3. Simple game really, kick the ball into the opponent goal. TP often used to complain about Fuller not following instructions 4. While greatly preferred, some of the best players have not been known for “hard work” 5. I don’t care if one of our players looks like a Klingon in full rage. Sorry, I don’t think those attributes would get Imbula where he needs to be. I think it will probably get him to a Allen clone and I would prefer him to develop into the ball playing destroyer he could be. One thing we agree upon, IF he comes good, it will be a wonderful advantage for Stoke!

Let us all down. Doesnt give a fuck about the club or fans. He is totally indifferent about anything and anyone. I do not what to see him here again. If he comes back i will give hime 4 games at most until he slips back to his "couldnt give a fuck" waus again. When the club bought him.they had their pants pulled down big time.

Took 5 months for Porto to suss him, before they sold him to us mugs. Must have pissed themselves all the way to the bank. Poor diligence, again..

Not sure how another striker fits in if we’re after Gayle then? He won’t play as one of the wide forwards either side of Afobe surely? Can’t see him coming to be a sub. Looks 442 to me, with Allen and Etebo putting in the hard yards as runners to cover for wingers.

The same if we play 4231 as well. To be honest, there is very little difference in practice between 442 and 4231 - only how deep the second striker or No10 plays

Fingers crossed that Newcastle and Palace are as bad at doing due diligence that we were. However I am sure if they call anyone at SCFC to ask about him the only response they will get is that he's a great player hugely committed and an allround good egg, very well liked by all his team mates

One of my all time worst ever signings. I simply cannot stand players wasting the talent they are given due to not giving a shit, bad attitude. See also Berahino.

His performances against Watford, Chelsea and Bournemouth would make him easily the best player in the Championship. But, he couldnt get motivated to play for us in the PL, so there is no hope he'll be motivated to play in a division below. Snap hands off time of they put in proper bids
