dAVe80 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Traore at Stoke training ground, has bought his whole family it seems. Is that Father Ted with him? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn1982 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 If we want this guy and he ends up at Stoke, Randy needs to take a long hard look in the mirror as this is a tangible measure of how far we have fallen. This....and our league position in recent seasons, falling attendances, the squad of players, and every news article about us since MON left! Does Micah Richards joining us mean Man City have fallen? Players join clubs for loads of different reasons. We've signed a lot of players this summer that seem to make your statement seem silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayls Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Guyyyys, come on. He's going to Stoke. Its basically a done deal. We are probably looking at other players - or at least I hope we are. What makes you say that? What evidence do you have to support this statement? That he's at the Stoke ground? Yep. That and the fact Stoke have signed most of the Barcelona Youth, who are probably friends of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphinho123 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Hopefully he's at our ground / BMH around 3pm. Would make Stoke's set up look amateur. Which it probably is anyway. Regardless of where they finished last season, it's Stoke. Stoke's a fckin shit hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillanousOne Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Not sure we were ever interested from the start, probably just his agent saying to us 'hey you bought Crespo right? Can you stick in a cheeky bid or declare some interest in another one of my guys as a favour.' Terrific player but surely we need a centre forward if we are not signing Adebeyawn and more importantly a new central defender far more than we need a winger as Ayew, Grealish, Gil, Sinclair, Robinson all can fulfil aspects of that role and if we are playing with attacking wingbacks then again we probably wouldn't be playing wingers also. Sherwood seems to love a diamond Edited August 5, 2015 by VillanousOne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont_do_it_doug. Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) No chance of him coming here IMO. IF the reports that he is coming to our ground this afternoon to see the facilities, to meet the manager and the players, are true, then why not? I simply doubt that they are. That strikes me as very unusual. Edited August 5, 2015 by dont_do_it_doug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villa87 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 No chance of him coming here IMO. Why not ? Reports seem tenuous in light of him actually being at Stoke who have purchased a number of ex Barca players. Furthermore, while our infrastructure is far superior (as is our name and heritage) it remains that Stoke have established themselves as a top half team in recent seasons while we have been in mediocrity. All my opinion and I am hoping to be proved wrong as in the videos he looks a real talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That strikes me as very unusual. Absolutely - If the reports are true and he genuinely has an open mind then I think we could persuade him. I just think our name has been dropped into reports. So not "no chance"? Maybe a little strong - simply based on my doubting the reports to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
