Bordeaux have been relegated to the 3rd tier because of financial irregularities - so perhaps Maja is available for free(?)

Average at best in our set up, not worth the punt for a player to warm the bench.

In the right team yes, the way Stoke play he needs to come to the ball, does not seem to read the game too well, struggles to find the space or run into space, needs a better first touch. In an offensive team think he would look better and at a higher standard would have a little more room and time on the ball. He does score but not nearly enough to command a great transfer fee, another Diouf in the making.

I liked him up until he gave up last season and walked around the pitch sulking like a petulant child. He has talent no doubt, but being in the French league has tainted him to being less mobile than Bony. If that is even possible. After that performance, meh. This season will he give a damn and go for it? I can see him being good for us, but also like so many others I can see it going good for a bit, then horridly shit. If he had Brownos drive, he'd be in the PL or continent.

I don’t think we need him with Brown and Campbell in the squad what we do need is a target man to lead the line.

Decent finisher but too weak and slow so it's a no thank you from me.

I don't think he was fully fit for a large part of his time here last season as he'd played next to no football before he signed, he showed glimpses of what he can do when getting the ball in and around the box, he also showed glimpses of link up play.
However at times he looked fucking useless, so the jury is still out for me.
What is worrying that barring the centre halves and the RB/RWB if Maja were to sign, we'd be starting the season with basically the same team that was shite for large parts of last season, especially if Joe Allen re-signs.

Yeah getting the gang back together is an extremely worrying idea. Results weren’t good enough and the football was even worse. Leaves you hoping for quite drastic changes but not the manager it seems.

You just know we will try to get him. MON seemed to have a hardon for him. Hopefully theres some competition for him and he ends up elsewhere.

Better footballer than Brown or Campbell, but the juries out on his finishing, though he did look decent in the cup games.

Better footballer than brown yet brown hit double figures and was our best player by a mile. Sometimes I ask what drugs stoke fans use but fucking hell they must be good. "Decent in cup games" yeah because he's found his level. The bloke made Kenny Jones look interested. Useless prat.

I know the club doesn’t openly talk about it but I suspect part of the recruitment policy is identifying players we could sign and then sell for a profit. While Josh might not be a player that could fire us into the league above he might meet this other criteria and wouldn’t be surprised he come through the door.

If we can get him for less than a million then I agree.

Why? The manager should be put in front of a mike with a panel of prosecution attorneys on the stage next to him and asked what possible evidence there is for having this guy back again. Come to think of it, that would a good approach every time he wants to bring someone in.
