rodders0223 Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 They have got AstonVillaitus. A load of players that used to be good, aren't very good but are paid good and whose motivations are not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But still I don’t think this one workout for him. It’s too big a job. They remind me of us first season in championship Well I know people at Stoke and people at the club are very impressed with him so far, doesn't mean that it will work out but they think it will.

sne Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Desperately trying to trim their wage bill. Imbula and Wimmer the latest 2 to be loaned out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Kevin Wimmer must be one of most bizarre signings in recent times. Spurs signed him for 12m and he was really rubbish for them. 12 months later Stoke signed him for 18m! Now they can't give him away for free.

Zatman Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Imbula was not a much better signing. Senior players didnt like him at Stoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior players didnt like him at Stoke From memory he did show some promise in France so they probably thought he'd be new N'zonzi or something. Immediately coupled up with Berahino so that probably wasn't a great sign.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Surely they won't go for pulis. That would an another disaster. Hughton would be good for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Playing at home against Huddersfield, the one team that have been just as bad as them this season, and they still manage to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Well I think Stoke bizarrely needed a Bruce or Pulis when came down. Rowett as expected was a donkey but Jones is a good manager but with an entitled squad. Butland as said before is a donkey, McClean not much better. Have Vokes up front who is a bit of a lump. Is a few more than them guys Would take a 2/3 year plan to get Stoke back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Meh, always a tin pot club anyway. Built a big stadium and still couldn't get past the playoffs in the old division 2. I remember when they beat Leicester to get promoted to the premier league years ago. It was the Huddersfield of 3 years ago story. Normal order and all that.

VillaChris Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Stoke is just bizarre. He's still playing McClean at left back, they signed Stephen Ward in summer and no idea where he is. Mark Duffy was a regular in Sheffield United over last few years so has winning mentality, can't even get off their bench. Yeah if Pulis comes in Vokes will be straight in and they'll just hit up to him all game and feed off second balls. Might pick up the odd 1-0 to at least get them moving like we did in Steve Bruce first few weeks. Stoke need to win 15 games to be sure of staying up. They're not far off a 50% winning ratio already at this early stage of the season. Think it will be beyond anyone coming in now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 That was a huge win for Huddersfield btw. They are pretty bad aswell but slowly string together an unbeaten run now. Nicely timing it with some team called Birmingham City sliding down the league. Actually SHA-Boro is a big game on Friday as they're on a poor run aswell.

Demitri_C Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Was always going to be a disaster with wood gate as manager. As for stoke I said the job would be too big for him and I was proven right. Should have stayed at his previous club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakotaDakota Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 As much as people moan about the likes of fat sam, Pulis, Bruce etc they are all good at stopping shit like this and preventing you going crashing through the leagues,sure it might not be much fun to watch at times but it's better than the current getting beat every week form and you don't end up in league 1 or worse 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
