League One at best, maybe next season he’ll be playing at the level I believe his skill set is best suited? How do you know he's reached his potential? You're not exactly a scout, are you? dib dib dib dob dob dob! 😂

I wonder if the plan is to switch to 352 now. Million has played full back and winger. Wing back doesn’t seem a stretch. Ennis’ goals for Plymouth came in a 2 up top. Mmaee looks best in a two (so does Campbell and I bet Lowe as well). Junior could easily work as a right wing back. Our most consistent spell was our initial 352 when we used relatively nimble centre backs either side of Souttar. I could see Rose and Wilmot playing either side of McNally and the whole formation looking quite balanced.
Iversen (Bonham tomorrow)
Junior Rose McNally Wilmot Million
Burger Baker/Cundle
Bae
Mmaee Campbell (with Ennis coming on off the bench).

About 3 weeks ago Shumacher was bigging him up and making him the main man. The fact that now he suddenly wants him out of the club after a couple of weak as piss performances is a little concerning at whats going on behind the scenes. Not really he was quite obviously blowing smoke up his arse. Seemed proper weird describing one of his many lacklustre performances as being excellent. Maybe it worked to an extent he subsequently gave a more than acceptable performance vs Watford. Then straight back to his previous dross. Now trying a different line maybe like ‘actually mate you’re not putting it all in, in which case best you fuck off’ see if that penetrates. Maybe Schumacher is saying yes we want players to go out in training and on match day and have fun but this ain't no holiday camp and if you aren't giving 110% then maybe it's best to go elsewhere.

Only thing is you could get much better and cheaper LWB then Million (and he might not want to play there)

The plan to get rid of Mmaee to replace him with an injury phone striker who can’t get in the Blackburn team is very Stoke.

Before his signing, I’d have been happy with a 442 diamond. Now though, we need to play with width. If we persist with a solo striker, I hope that the goal needs to be to move one of the midfielders up right next to them. Perhaps Baker could do a role there, he’s the best goalscorer we have on the books.

Schuey is trying to build a squad, all the players have to be pulling together in the same direction to achieve this. I think Schuey is starting to find out who is with him and which players in the squad are only at Stoke for the money. I’ve heard Mmmaee is one of those players who often turns up late for training and is turning into a bit of a Deva…..We’ve had this before where the players turn up at the end of training for the game, but can’t be bothered with the repetition of the drills ….corners, passing the ball to each other …simple stuff that repetition makes you good at …..boring maybe but necessary.

I'm a fan of Mmaee, he's less than 6 months into his time in a new league and a new country. I think given some time and the right service and the right people around him he will be a huge asset to the club and I think it speaks volumes that he wants to stay and fight here.
As I've said many many times SS has only said good things about him

We don't do things the easy way do we? I'm really disappointed in how we've handled Mmaee so far. It absolutely stinks. We’ve got a player in Mmaee with clear ability , after a few goals and some confidence built more goals would come. So we decide to make him feel unwanted.

We’ve got a player in Mmaee with clear ability , after a few goals and some confidence built more goals would come. So we decide to make him feel unwanted. I think it's a bit more than that for me. It's the fact that for most of the season we've created nothing more than whacking the ball at him from deep, expecting him to create and score for himself then the moment we've created a bit for him and he's faltered we've lobbed him on the Bonfire. I just expect a club that is on a fresh new dawn to look after and try and grow it's assets a bit better than that, after years of throwing bad money after bad. If after 12-18 months he's still no good then cut your losses. By then we could happily accept a 6 figure fee for him and lose nothing against the book value of him. You'd get that type of fee from Europe no problem. If he does come good then you are looking at a decent profit. It's no wonder this club hasn't had a regular scorer since Thorne, well over 20 years ago with attitudes in and around the club like this.

We don't do things the easy way do we? I'm really disappointed in how we've handled Mmaee so far. Players are motivated in different ways the same as normal folk and we have no idea what's been said to Mmaee behind closed doors. Schumacher doesn't strike me as the sly sort. He's probably had frank conversations with Mmaee about bringing in another striker. Let's see how he responds before we decide if he's been handled badly. A line from Stuart Pearce's book always sticks with me. Cloughie had him in his office to tell him he had been called up to England for his first cap. Clough asked him if he thought he was ready and Pearce said yes boss. Clough said I don't and that was conversation over. Pearce was furious but he later acknowledged that it was brilliant man management. I'm not saying Mmaee has the character of a Stuart Pearce but who knows.

I’ll be honest I’m really fucking annoyed we sold Tymon, the deal at the time made no sense and makes less now.

Iversen (Bonham tomorrow) Junior Rose McNally Wilmot Million Burger Baker/Cundle Bae Mmaee Campbell (with Ennis coming on off the bench). There would be a certain irony about letting Gayle leave then switching to 2 up front. The only time Gayle has been a high goal scorer has been when in partnership as with Rodriguez at WBA. Gayle was not big enough or fast enough to function on his own he needed a "shield" to draw away defenders and give him space to play in. Mmaee has not found space or settled at all. He just needs time to adjust to British football which he is finding difficult. Rumour has it the club were prepared to let him go this January but there were no serious takers prepared to pay Stoke what they wanted. Letting him and Gayle go for nothing would be financially foolish. Let's hope he starts to click and find some form. Strikers need goals to build confidence and go on and score more.

It seems if Schumacher thinks he is expendable maybe it will be a kick up the arse that he needs. He should be motivated to prove him wrong. If he is demotivated he is on a slippery slope. As a professional in any trade you have to build a reputation for honest endeavour. It does not look good if you build a reputation of skiving, goofing off or oscillating plumbitis and the bad news travels fast and nobody will want to pay you good money for poor effort. Therefore he should be advised to knuckle down and prove his worth.

Are they claiming a niggle, or just going with the straightforward left out line?
Sentinel....
No place in the squad for Ryan Mmaee The summer signing has fallen from grace in the last couple of weeks and he is not even on the bench today.
There had been murmurings of a late January exit and there are still some windows which are still open, including in Turkey and the US, if it came to the crunch and he was to end his Stoke career after just a few months.

We’re pushing him out then. Wonderful. What a way to treat a guy in a new league, in a new country, 6 months into his time here. A real advert for Stoke City Football Club to others ahead of the summer.

I think he’s got Turkey written all over him.
There’s undoubtedly a half decent player in there but I’m not sure he’s ever going to have the work rate the manager is after.
You’ve got to suspect there has been a bit of a bust up.
If he does end up going in the next week, we are going to be very light with just Campbell and Ennis for the rest of the season who are both injury prone. We can’t be relying on Lowe yet.
Be a shame as he’s got some talent. You don’t know what goes on behind the scenes though.
