I’m still convinced FM is a form of highly advanced AI. Just as long as he concentrates on the transfer scoops and doesn't go all Skynet on us, it's all good. |

 Imminent to Stoke City' Bae Jun-ho, "I was really moved. Thank you" [Oh!Ssen Jeonju] The player who received the most attention this day was Bae Jun-ho (Daejeon). Bae Jun-ho recently came up with a transfer to Stoke City in the English Championship (second division). Currently, the agreement between the clubs of Daejeon and Stoke City is done. It remains only to adjust personal conditions. Italy's Torino showed interest in Bae Jun-ho and talks came and went, but Stoke City, who was more active, made an official offer and leaned toward a transfer. Football Insia also said, "Stoke City is conducting prior consultations to recruit Bae Jun-ho," adding, "Stoke City considers Bae Jun-ho as a player who can play all the way to the front line and is evaluating him as a player who will be able to add creativity to the attack.” Daejeon fans sent messages of support. After the game, he even delivered a ticket to Bae Jun-ho, telling him to go to Europe and return again. Regarding this, “I received a lot of help from coach Lee Min-seong, the club, and Hana Financial Group. I was also moved to tears when I saw the fans cheering. Thank you so much to the fans. Thanks to your support" If he's coming by train it will be January |

Bloody hell, this youth can't go wrong. First he gets a move to Stoke, then he wins the Postcode Lottery. |

Didn’t imagine we would be signing any players from the Far East this season.
Absolutely loved watching South Korea games in their joint World Cup with Japan in 2002!
It was not just the commitment of the players but the crowd were phenomenal.
They seem incredibly respectful…. I think they even clear up the litter over there after games!
The reactions of their fans and players to Bae Jun-ho leaving are fascinating.
I wonder how they would have greeted the departure of Etebo, Berahino, Ndiaye and the likes 🙂

Nothing major, but a couple of different lines sports.news.nate.com/view/20230826n01242?mid=s0301He said, "(Stoke City transfer) is progressing positively. I think it will be finalized next week." Bae Jun-ho also added meaning, saying, "I was moved to tears, and I am very grateful to the fans in Daejeon. I received so much support while I was in Daejeon. It served as an opportunity for me to grow." "I watched the (Stoke) game through Internet video services, etc., and my agent directly observed it locally. They said it was different than before. I think it would be nice if I could adapt well." "I want to get a lot of playing time. The level is high. I have competitiveness, so I will adapt as soon as possible and secure time to play." “It hasn’t been decided, but I know Stoke strongly wanted me. In addition to the regular league, there are many opportunities to play in the FA Cup and League Cup. "Cho Kyu-seong went to Europe and did well, and I grew up watching those people (playing in Europe). I want to prove myself" It is Bae Jun-ho who has not forgotten to thank Daejeon and its parent company, Hana Financial Group. It is clear why he worked full time. He said, “I was given the opportunity to participate, and I was very grateful to this club and parent company. It was an opportunity to grow because they gave me a lot of opportunities. (For entering Europe), the opportunity came because of the support of the club and Hana Financial Group. " he said. |

From what we can all see - Stoke have agreed a fee with Daejeon (around £2m) and just tweaking the personal terms with Bae Jun-Ho. All signs point to this deal being wrapped up early next week. |

If this doesn't happen and he's been given the bumps and a plane ticket by his team mates on the pitch, posted it on line and given a speech ......he might have some deleting to do

'Haha, you made me a giant plane ticket and everything thinking I was going to Stoke, how stupid are you all!' Yep..best way We had a lad at school (Let's call him Jason J)who said he was going to live in Hong Kong, threw himself a leaving party on the last day which was more of a ..give me a can of beer and am out of here type thing and why no chicks at this thing, then came back on the first day of the next term, burst through the common room door declaring he was back etc and no one raised an eyebrow. To my knowledge not a single person asked why he didn't go to Hong Kong or cared 😁 |

It’s interesting how our Pulis era reputation as a direct, physical side was clearly a concern for him and his agent. And even now the comments are “they are moving away from that style” and not “they haven’t played like that in over ten years.”
It’s like Stokealona and five years of Championship mediocrity never happened.
Just goes to show how much the brand we have internationally was shaped by those early Prem years.

Quite funny in a way that the likes of Faye, Delap, Shawcross, Huth, and Sidibe Snr. put us more on the map than Bojan, Shaqiri, Affelay etc. |

In their mind, if an opposition player falls over, it must be a foul, because it’s Stoke. |

Quite funny in a way that the likes of Faye, Delap, Shawcross, Huth, and Sidibe Snr. put us more on the map than Bojan, Shaqiri, Affelay etc. We were interesting for the neutral in those days and created headlines. Delap's throws, how much we wound Wenger up, the Ramsey broken leg, our crowd etc. We had a distinctive style of play that everybody had an opinion on and consequently we were talked about a lot and provoked international debate. The team were full of characters and were heroes or villains depending on your viewpoint. In the Stokealona days, let's be honest we barely registered to the neutral. We had very good players but not so good that they attracted real attention. We played very good football, but not so good that people really took notice of us. And while we were doing well by our standards, 9th place isn't exactly exciting for the neutral so we just blended into the background a bit. We were just 'there' to most people, doing our thing in mid table and few really took much notice of what we were doing and how our style had changed. We were successful but didn't really do anything that made people sit up and take notice like win a cup, get to Europe etc. Ironically if that 6-1 win against Liverpool had happened mid season rather than on the final day I think more people would have taken notice of us. But with it happening on the final day and not really having any influence on anything it got forgotten about over the summer and didn't attract the wide attention it would have done mid season. |

Flintoff on Talksport.often talked about Stokealona but you're right, those great goals and wins went under the neutral radar a bit although I do remember a random guy at the services on the M5 telling me how much he loved Bojan so at least we impressed a fella by the sandwich chiller near Malvern |

I like to think Fuller and Bojan were favourite players of neutrals. Like when I was a kid, my favourite non-Stoke players were le Tissier, Yeboah, and Kinkladze - all playing for mid to lower Premier League clubs at the time. |

Fuller didn't really get noticed by neutrals, sadly. He was stereotyped as a typical Pulis battering ram up front like Sidibe and Jones etc and he scored a few headers from Delap throws too which helped cement the stereotype (I think he got the winner against Arsenal in our first season from a throw if I remember rightly). And coverage of Stoke games didn't go into enough detail to highlight the quality he possessed. The odd high profile flashes of his ability that did get noticed like his goals against Villa and West Ham were sadly too few and far between. He still largely remains out secret. Bojan, on the other hand, definitely attracted neutral attention. But that was more to do with his Barcelona heritage and intrigue as to how a player who was once a boy wonder breaking Barcelona youth records had ended up at a club like Stoke. As great as he was, unfortunately he was only really great for us for a very short period up until his injury against Rochdale. He was never the same again after that. It remains one of the great 'what ifs' of our recent history. How high could we have gone had Bojan not got injured and his form had continued on the same trajectory? It's all so sad. |

Agree on Fuller, but I think you’re peddling a common myth on Bojan. He was a key part of our team after his injury and our decline didn’t really start till a while after that. The idea that his injury ended his career and our time as a top half Prem side just isn’t true. He scored eleven of his sixteen goals for us after his injury. |

If his agent is over watching again, there’s no way he’s going to be signing! This is exactly “how it used to be”!
What a horribly negative approach.
