He is miles better than we have right now and Campbell and baker get in too its another nightmare of a recruitment window just gone tymon baker. Laurent , Campbell all replaced with worse or injured And yet when those three were with us last season, you spent the whole year predicting relegation.

Out of the 3 mentioned I would only consider laurant, and even then how many games did he actually turn up for?

Laurent was a fucking spineless wank fanny.
The argument we’d be better if he was still here holds no weight whatsoever it’s utter nonsense.

Baker coming on late on if we desperately need a goal.
He could get us the odd point,or even 3,which could make a Hugh differance come May.

Baker Laurent and Campbell, all three have/had it in their locker to be amongst the best players in their respective positions in the league...but all 3 are the most spectacularly and frustratingly inconsistent players, who would only turn up with 1 performance every 6 matches or so.

A workmate who is a Burnley fan has questioned why we let him go as they have been impressed with his performances for them.He starts most games for them and when he comes off the bench he slots into their midfield and makes a difference apparently. If he does this for promotion chasing Burnley he must be good enough for our pathetic midfield.l retired from football 25 yrs ago and could still improve our midfield. Bristol who are just an average Championship team were just driving a coach and horses through our midfield it was just scary.

Very worried after watching tonight , 2nd half against Dull and first half v Norwich. The midfield go missing too much. Letting Baker go was a massive fook up.. Baker , a footballer the if he wasn't taking set pieces and scoring the odd goal you wouldn't know he was on the pitch

Campbell has 6 games, 5 from the bench and no goals. Laurent have been average, but has played 10 games for Burnley (though less of late) and Baker has 2 starts and 7 total games, and only a single 18 minute cameo in the last month. Oh and a whopping 1 goals!
Not exactly setting the league on fire, are they.

I always felt like this with him That’s why I didn’t think he was a good choice for captain

The reason Baker wanted to leave (and it was the case, not that we particularly wanted rid) was that he wanted to start games, not be used as a sub, and SS wasn't prepared to give him any guarantees.

Baker , a footballer the if he wasn't taking set pieces and scoring the odd goal you wouldn't know he was on the pitch Baker has already found his home on the bench for Blackburn, having been on it for the last 5 games and only come on twice playing a total of 19 minutes.

just don't see us getting anything Saturday it's going to be a very difficult time If you know anything about Stoke's history we have this weird habit of doing well and winning when we are least expected to.

Like to see this manager get to the window, be interested to see who he brings in - he inherited this squad and obviously cannot mould it to the way he would like to play. Sounds like he works his nads off and the players like him. Results business though and the Derby game will be important for him - if he loses then that would more than likely be 2 defeats on the bounce and in this day and age that normally means the average supporter will be baying for blood. Got a tough job from now till xmas though as the squad is unbalanced and for the umpteenth year on the trot we are having to play square pegs in defence after just a handful of games and we need some bollox in that midfield - wonder if this guy could get a tune out of Pearson when he comes back from injury We don't have a Manager and, I think, it's the Sporting Directors responsibility to recruit new players for the squad. The head coach, then, will get no say at all on the type of player he would like to bring in?

Oh and a whopping 1 goals! Not exactly setting the league on fire, are they. Players who leave are always so much better than they were on here The same fools who slated them every week make them out to be something they're simply not at other clubs. The same ones straight on here if they score for their new club and will be poised on here tomorrow. Means nothing if they do score. My imigary season ticket supporting mate reckons (insert ex player's name) has been their best player Failed to notice they rarely get a game in many cases

Has any player or manager left Stoke since relegation and gone on to perform better at Championship level?
The problem hadn't been who we have let go, it is who we have recruited.
Particularly managers/coaches. Only MON was able to get better results with the squad he inherited, but was unable to sustain or improve, and eventually ran out of road. But no loss when he left, like the others he has not set the world alight elsewhere.
If it wasn't for our GK we would be in the bottom three.
