He had a great on-pitch attitude in a poor side. If he wants to play for us we should be accommodating him, based on the current squad I'd have him in my 11 every week. What does he actually do? Now you’re just being silly. |

What does he actually do? Now you’re just being silly. It's a genuine question. Does he create? Does he score goals? Does he break up play well? Can't see the answer to any of the above being in the affirmative. |

Receives the ball deeper and gets it forward. Sometime he misses the obvious pass in favour of taking on an extra man but on the whole, he does succeed in his job. |

Another thread completely hijacked by Bayern so he can pursue whatever it is he gets off on. Most of us aren't interested so please give it a rest. Why is it so outlandish to say Ince wasn’t a bad player for us in his first season? He contributed a significant amount beyond goals and assists. Yeah, he was awful last season but I think Ince would admit that himself. And it’s a message board. Would be a bit boring if everyone just came on and said the same thing. I don't think that the issue is the suggestion that ince had a couple of good games a couple of years ago. The issue is its relevance on a thread about Peter Etebo and whether he is staying or if he even should. Might as well come out with "Fuller was a good player". Not a statement that is necessarily untrue...but equally as irrelevant. It is a message board, so all these love-ins for ince (which i frankly dont understand as hes been a waste of space since Jones arrived) should be put on their own post not this. |

Like fuck we should, him and his bell end mate have made it pretty crystal where they want to be and it’s not at Stoke. Why should we put the ball in his court and invite him back, for his agent to to do the same in January. If we can get him and the other idiot off the wage bill and out of the club, that should be the aim. |

This is the problem I had with his signing at the time. If we are serious about promotion we need goals throughout the team. Clucas, for all his limitations, is a pretty reliable goal scorer. Etebo isn’t and doesn’t create much either, which is fine but does mean he needs to be playing with goal scoring wingers and attacking mids. |

If Etebo returned he would be the best player at the club by a country mile.
Thats not even up for debate.

Fuck him off if hes doesn't want to give a minimum of 100% every game and if no one wants him then make him turn up and train with the U23's if he refuses fine him until he does. Twats like this are the reason we're in the shit we are. Gouranga.  Nzonzi asked to leave every window, Walters banged on the managers door for more money and threatened to leave too |

Quite a few saying he should come back and be allowed back into the fold/he’s still got a lot to offer/ better than McClean/ he could play alongside Mikel etc etc. Get real folks. The bloke hasn’t shown the slightest bit of interest in wanting to be here the last 18 months. That’s never going to change. He was only ever interested in playing for us in the PL. Blokes a lost cause like Wimmer and N’Diaye. The sooner we finally get these players off our books, the better. He signed for us in the Championship. He subsequently won player of the year award in the championship, let's not rewrite history to suit agendas |

Drives us forward. Whenever he got the ball he looked to carry it fwds, something no one else in the squad does. Alright he may not see passes but I would rather us lose possession in the opposition half than our own. He can also cover ground quickly and gets back to challenge for the ball when he sees danger or that a team mate is out of position. |

If Etebo played now, he would have to take Clucas' place and there is probably not a Stokie alive (bar the above poster) who would want that to happen. |

You might be overestimating Clucas' popularity among Stoke supporters, certainly among those he shushed and later earcupped... |

So, our top scorer and best central midfielder last season gets dropped for a bloke who said he did not want to play for us and buggered off on loan at the first chance he got - okay, then...... |

He can also cover ground quickly and gets back to challenge for the ball when he sees danger or that a team mate is out of position. We’re a similar age but your eyesight must be better than mine. An attacking midfielder with what, 1 goal and 3 assists? Of course he carries the ball forward before losing it to the 3rd person he’s trying to beat, or passing it to no one in a striped shirt. He’s okay, but he’s no better than 3 who would play before him. |

When he left, having played regularly under Jones, we were in the middle of 4 wins in 32 games. He leaves and we show play off form ( after he’s told MO’n that he wants to leave)- tell me what he added that made any positive difference? |

From what I’ve seen Etebo is that he is so focused on the ball he forgets he has 9 outfield teammates, runs down blind alleys, loses possession, thus being hopelessly out of position leaving his teammates exposed.
Should have been a good signing, has been a bad one. Get rid ASAP
