Smaller squad, but we are 2 injuries away from it being a problem There’s always one isn’t their 10 points out of 12 and you’ll moan. We’ve signed a midfielder that admittedly I know nothing about but maybe given the chance it’ll be the making of him Fuck off with your negativity. They did fuck all to the last 18 months It’s also just something that you have to deal with. That is the point of having a youth squad, as back up to your back up, and then gradually as more regular members of the team. We are trying to cut the wage bill etc, most teams would struggle with several injuries to overlapping positions.

One Johnny Foreigner in the team today says a lot about the direction we’re going in with O’Neill for me. Bruno’s definitely foreign so that means McClean must be British 🤔 I don’t necessarily disagree but I wouldn’t want to be the one to tell him.😮

They both gave their all when they were in the team and I’d be shocked if they were any different to the majority of the squad in their ambitions. Etebo himself kicked off when he wasn’t playing so it wasn’t like he was downing tools. I never understood why he wasn't playing. He had an 'injury' and never resurfaced. Smoke screen? He complained publicly about not playing.

That doesn’t make them twats. What does it make them then? It’s bollocks to suggest they didn’t want to play for starters. Etebo was furious at not playing, Badou was playing well. Second, it makes them normal, standard footballers no different from the majority. Explain how they’re twats?

Who & who, don’t really believe Badou has ever given his all for Stoke. Etebo a shame really, but not missed. Just wished we could get some real cash for them.

Was he not giving his all when he was one of our best players this season? Great. What about last season when we needed him and only played this season because nobody was thick enough to take him until January. Frankly, good riddance. Hope we see cash for him.

Last season was last season, you said ‘never’, which clearly isn’t true. The bottom line is that when called upon he played well. If you think the players we’ve got are here because they love the club I think you’re going to be disappointed.

They didn't want to play for us, deal with it. Move along nothing to see here. Enjoy us winning without them because we won very little with them.

Smaller squad, but we are 2 injuries away from it being a problem Said the same today, if Allen goes this window surely we have to bring another in? For an area we had too many we're now treading a fine line. I’ll solve that. Allen has said he’s doesn’t see himself going anywhere

Well, Mick clearly sussed out they didn't want to be here and quickly sorted it out and removed them. No point having high earners here if they don't want to play. But they did want to play In fact they they were beyond criticism

When was the last time anyone saw a Stoke player 'kiss the badge'? I really hope we don't unless they're actually a Stoke fan, its one of the most cringe worthy things in football.

Badou wasn’t really playing like a player who didn’t want to be here, he was often the best player on the pitch when he played, but non of us know what goes on behind the scenes, in training etc, I trust O’Neill has made the right decision.

Personally I never thought either was particularly as good as most said they were.

The manager has come out and said they wanted to go, if they want to go I don't want them near the team. As I've pointed out we were losing almost every game. Since they've been removed the team has improved ten fold. They've gone, we're starting a new era embrace it, Particularly Badou, he couldn't wait to get away, do you really want him in the starting eleven with that mindset?

I wouldn’t say they were a couple of twats neither are world class but both were wasted at a club in the bottom half of the championship. MON made the right call dropping both has he probably saw they both wanted to be playing elsewhere.

As I say, I trust O’Neill has done the right thing in ridding both of them, I was never as impressed by etebo as some on here were, I think he has potential but really only had a few good games, badou was more consistent than etebo.

I was vocal on this one.
The Manager has proven me wrong though. And happy to eat my words.
I still think they were our best players. And I don't think they're bad eggs either.
MON saw the bigger picture though.

N’Dyiae was clearly playing well for a move in January, obviously he’s a good player. He couldn’t give a fuck last season went out in loan. No move this season and all of a sudden he starts to play. When the shit hits the fan he wasn’t there but when he has his own agenda he decides to perform is just embarrassing.
Etebo is not as clear cut but fair play to MON for managing the situation and making the decision that they are not right for the team!!!

Some people can't handle the fact the manager made the right call on these pair. They'll go on and on and on and on and on and on about how fucking committed these pair were.
They both went to teams slightly bigger than the Vale. Says it all.
