Ive rumbled what the plan is. We are going to sign players with double barrel names. Weve already got Norrington-Davis and Oakley Booth. Now were going for Clarke Harris. What a stroke of genius from the club.

As Tachyon has pointed out with reference to Campbell, we don’t actually create many chances. Perhaps even Fletcher wouldn’t be offside so much if our totally unfit for purpose midfield could move the ball forward accurately with a little bit more speed? I know that Doughty MAY be a potential answer, but Stoke fans haven’t seen much of him if they are honest. We won’t score or improve unless there is some midfield talent coming through the U-23’s, the only thing that a midfield featuring Allen, Mikel, Clucas, Thompson will produce is sleeping sickness.

We don't but then we don't use Powell right and in Campbell we have got a striker on the wing who tbh has put some lovely balls in and got some assists but it's far from ideal imo. Add full backs that don't really add anything to the attacking threat and even before Campbell got injured I thought we were dull and overly reliant on the press and others mistakes. We don't have a pattern of play and that has to change.

Getting around ffp would be with swap deals no?
Send them any of and/or a multitude of:
Afobe Gregory Ince Vokes Woods Lindsay Bauer
For any newly promoted team they will be looking to and happy to bring in these ‘types’ of players (not sure if anyone would actually be happy with these actual players but we can only hope)

Have him turned into a 10 goal a season striker in no time. That’s optimistic

The question is, why were we so good under MON last season when he took us from being relegation fodder to playoff contenders (when we look at points per game)?

Which would be my reservations about him stepping up and doing it to the level that would be expected of him. Certainly wouldn't be willing to pay £7-8m to find out. Yeah - I'd like another season of pedigree behind him, and preferably a bit more in this league ideally. His last 2 seasons are proper numbers though, unlike anything Afobe had ever produced at least! And he is at absolute peak age. So swings and roundabouts. Doubt there'll be many clubs spending that type of money outside the parachute teams This guy seems to be just a random Aussie fan, so woildn't put much credence in it at all, but you never know! Sincerely hope that is not accurate and the reason Harry is unlikley to play tomorrow is just beacuse he is injured

Who do we think is the more likely to attract a bid this summer? Campbell coming off injury Souttar ..or Collins? Suppose the money would be on Collins with all this talk of Darren Fletcher wanting him badly at Man Utd. They are really lacking at centre-half, even if he'd be a project there. And £12-15m would be chicken feed for them Collins, no doubt. He's the one out of the three who we'll miss the least and the one who will sell for the most.

I have to say if we could get in access of £15 million I wouldn't be adverse to moving him on and help the squad reshaping.

Perhaps we are so confident in our transfer strategy, our manager, our fitness team and the players we keep that we are going all out for it. We will take the hit on any points deduction because we will smash the league with 100+ points. What could possibly go wrong.😂😂😂 I’d back this. A points deduction would be more exciting than our current situation

I like Souttar but he's 18 months from the PL for me. Maybe TS actually negotiates a sale/loan back for a season to resolve that? If Carlsberg did Stoke deals!

Fuck me that is rockin' Aww bless, it’s not sad you haven’t heard of him - maybe your more accustomed to more of the finer and more polished footballing world? He’s been around at this level of footy for a while. I saw the same thing as you in the headline that he was 33. Much more delighted when it clocked its 33 goals and 26 yr old.

The question is, why were we so good under MON last season when he took us from being relegation fodder to playoff contenders (when we look at points per game)? Easily answered, he simply HAD to win games to avoid relegation. When the situation is not so critical his caution gets the better of him. Last season it was shit or bust so he had to go against his nature and go for it. Now he thinks he has something to lose he’s afraid to try to win for fear of losing.

I think Souttar will go to the premier league for 10-15 million.collins will take his place at center back
That's the only way we will be signing this guy
I'm not bothered if he was average until a couple of seasons ago, the penny has dropped with him and he's learned what type of player he is, 33 goals isn't a fluke.

JCH’s transfer from Rovers to Posh last August is the single reason that Peterborough are going up and the Gas are going down.
