Not the greatest, but better than Vokes and Gregory, then again there are woman footballers who are better than Gregory.

15th most goals for the Potters in the Premier league or the old Division 1 in our history. Zero penalties in his total. 1.John Ritchie Stoke City 134 2.Peter Dobing Stoke City 81 3.Jimmy Greenhoff Stoke City 76 4.Harry Burrows Stoke City 69 5.Frank Bowyer Stoke City 56 6.Terry Conroy Stoke City 47 7.Peter Crouch Stoke City 44 8.Jon Walters Stoke City 43 9.Lee Chapman Stoke City 34 10.Dennis Viollet Stoke City 31 11.Geoff Hurst Stoke City 30 12.Harry Oscroft Stoke City 29 13.Denis Smith Stoke City 26 14.John Mahoney Stoke City 25 15.Mame Diouf Stoke City 24 Below him Garth Crooks, Marko Arnautovic, Freddie Steele, Roy Vernon, Frank Mountford, Adrian heath, Ricardo Fuller to name but a few. He doesn't look silky smooth but to suggest as some people are he couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo is preposterous. Freddie Steele below him!!Scored 33 in one season.

Yes, he scored 140 in all competitions but, he scored 12 for the Vale, which count -12 each. So that’s a net -4. edit:Big John is the all time top scorer with 179, which would have been over 200 if he hadn’t been sold to Sheffield Wednesday in the middle of that spell.

He scored 140 league goals and 19 FA Cup goals plus 8 for England. Ps scored 44 for Mansfield and was Iceland's(not the food store)first manager You are quite right Big John is all time top scorer but if the war hadn't broke out Nobby would have scored a fair few more but shit happens. Both great centre forwards.

I was really disappointed by Diouf's exit. The Turkish league may not be the best league in the world, but he's excelling there....something Etebo wasn't able to do.

Where would we have been if we'd had Mame to fall back on this season instead of Fletcher or Vokes? Still only 33 (younger quicker and better than Fletcher) and miles ahead of the Wardrobe who's not much younger but a lot slower and nowhere near as good. Gouranga.

Still only 33 (younger quicker and better than Fletcher) and miles ahead of the Wardrobe who's not much younger but a lot slower and nowhere near as good. Gouranga. It’s pretty depressing to think that Diouf was and still is a better footballer than Berahino, Afobe and Vokes, all younger and bought at considerable expense to replace him. Nice to see Diouf still doing well as he was a good egg here and played a big part in our success. Shame we didn’t utilise him as we should have in the Championship. I remember he got a few games as part of a front three under Rowett and looked dangerous, but for some unknown reason we reverted back to McClean as soon as he was back fit.

Fletcher was great for Campbell (& visa versa). Not so good without him
It's the wrong argument though What Rowett should have done is built his attack around Bojan, kept Diouf and spent the £12m he spent on Afobe elsewhere.
Or better still we would have employed Graham Potter either when Hughes went or when Lambert went

You couldn't make it up.
No revisionism here and full disclosure: I was never in awe of MBD's ability as a striker when he was here and always believed we could have had someone so much better.
Only at Stole though, we managed to get several replacements that were so, so much worse.

We do literally break players don't we? We're like that spoiled kid who duffs up his toys 5 minutes after his parents have spent fortunes on them, only to watch the neighbours kids lift it out of the bin the next morning, fix it and get bundles of joy out of it.
26 in 57 for Hannover 96 24 in 144 for us 19 in 37 for Hatayspor
Spot the odd one out!

He played how many of those gat at fullback, wingback or if he was lucky wide right though? Not the greatest first touch and he missed sitters (Burnley at home...) but overall he kept coming for more, scored a healthy amount when played as a century striker Surely would have scored goals in the Championship (especially with Bojan feeding the bullets)

Who in their right mind would drop a player who hit double figures in his first season for months before reinventing him as a wing back and right back? Puddled. Forget the Championship, by that time he'd probably gone mentally and who could blame him?

When we were relegated I really thought Diouf would be perfect for the Championship, but I think he never got a decent chance to prove himself in this division. We just seemed so obsessed with bringing someone better in that he became the forgotten man! So we ended up with Afobe and Vokes for around £20M instead!

Or better still we would have employed Graham Potter either when Hughes went or when Lambert went It does seem unbelievable and surreal now, to think that with different management, we could have had the likes of Bojan and Diouf continuing to play for us in the championship, instead of the risible squad “improvements” we now have. I doubt whether a more imaginative type of manager, such as a Graham Potter, would have drummed them out of the club on free transfers, without giving them every chance to show what they were capable of, which is far far more than their expensive replacements. I daren’t dwell too long on the thought of what a combination of Bojan, Diouf, Powell and Campbell might have achieved in the championship. After what we’ve watched this season, it’s much too depressing to contemplate.

Obviously had limitations but worked hard, had pace, was the best in the air attack wise if the players around him and always found chances. Hughes seemed to lose patience after a couple of glaring misses away at West Ham but his treatment remains a mystery
