I get your point🔴⚪️

Moran looks like the same player as Cundle but a bit better.

And both would be expecting to play more than not and they’d essentially be fighting over the one role.

It just seems a bit much to me.

You’re just creating problems by bringing more in. And blocking the path of a player who one day will probably be better than they all ever will be.

You know what Bayern I’d forgotten about Moran🤦🏼‍♂️ It was either him or Cundle wasn’t it🤷‍♂️🔴⚪️

it’s only here where Burger hasn’t played as a 6 , everywhere else he’s played the majority of his games as a 6 because that’s his best position, he wonders to much when further forward and that’s why we don’t see him at his best

He can defend and attack and his shooting and passing are really good. It’s a waste having him deep.

We have seen him at his best though. I think he’s been excellent overall.

He's been excellent and times and just plain wank mostly

The right back thing seems like a thing concocted by Stoke fans because they don’t like Junior?

I just think it’s too many even with Lawal and Pearson.

5 front line central midfielders with the prospect of Lawal back by October and Pearson later seems like plenty to me.

And then you have the option of Junho playing there too with Koumas on the left.

In regards to stoke fans not liking junior. I find it incredible our fans cry out for us to scour the lower leagues for the best talent, we do that and spend good money on the highly rated young right back regarded as the best in the lower leagues, he has a season as understudy here to hoover, with monthly cries on this forum to get junior in the team. New season starts and within 5 games fans have decided nah, he's no good.never want to see him play for stoke again.

Give the lad a chance to develop and improve.

Despite of that I want another as cover to the righ back position and not GOOCH!!!!

I think so. You’re doing neither any favours by having both.

Disagree with that, now Baker and possibly DJ leaving having just Moran as a more attacking midfielder isn't enough imo.

Burger, Sidibe, Thompson, Lawal and Seko aren't that sort of player.

Sidibe is. He’s played all roles in midfield.

And Junho too.

Sidibe is a box to box.

Junho we don't know whether he can play that position yet, he's still a left winger until proven otherwise.

Has the talk of Travis totally died down?

Sidibe is anything. He can do it all. Has done throughout his career. I’d expect goals from him if he played where Cundle did last season.

Thompson is a bit part player if we want to get anywhere, who knows when Lawal back from injury, Sidibe won't be starting week in week out (this is my guess although he is good enough imho), Pearson out till November.

I guess the Japanese lad could be RB cover too?

[gingerninja]

Bye bye Lewis, thanks for some of the outstanding strikes you produced for us.

[RedandWhite90]

All the best, Lewis 👍

Frustrating player in general play, but has a real gift from 18-25 yards.

If it wasn't for his set pieces he'd be in the Vanarama league.

[benjaminbiscuit]

Good news is he can’t play against us as the top corner had his name on it if he did 

[GrahamHyde]

I'll miss Baker more than Laurent, Vidigal and Johnson.

I'd rather keep him as a squad option if nothing else.

[bayernoatcake]

Shame, he’s a good player but far too inconsistent.

I wish him no luck at all and I hope he fails there.

Just obvious that Schumacher is not a fan. Good as a goal threat and can thrive in another less demanding role, but not as a 6 or 8 under SS. 

[delilahwhy]

Poor attitude will always hold him back.

Another player that lacks the application ii order to fulfil potential.

[a]

I think it’s telling Blackburn have had him. Hope they’re paying full wages.

[ElworthPotter]

Less sure about this than letting Laurent go. Goal threat in open play and excellent from dead balls.

[stayingupforbigbazza]

Bad decision for me..Get rid of Johnson Pearson and any other crocks we have.

Good transfer for Blackburn and John Eustace..Not impressed..

Other than his first 3/4 months here, always felt no manager ever really trusted him. Neil basically banished him and SS obviously wasn't keen. Don't know if it was attitude or just unwilling to accommodate him.

He'd probably want more than a bit part role here though. He'd barely get any mini unless we needed a goal.
