Talk Stoke

matthew.johns1d ago

Shows real character to help your nation win a match like that with such stakes on the line, this sort of mentality could be huge for Stoke if they are involved in the play-off race in the latter stages of the season!

There’s a quality player in there. Would like to see him properly fight for his place in the team. Definitely got the talent to open up some of the weaker sides in the division

george.patten2d ago

Wouldn’t say no to Lankshear up top. Not convinced by Hirst and Gallagher is never fit. If we had the best striker (or one of the best) in the league, we’d be chasing automatics

Berahino stands out to me, a real waste of talent who could probably be the same answer to this question for a number of clubs

Imbula for £18m! That was like £40m back then!

Milan Smit was weird. £5m for a striker who barely scored in the Netherlands - no idea what they saw in him Bozenik similar, if a bit better

Stoke actually have such a strong spine for this season. Promising signs for once

kilham.max4d ago

Player of the year surely a formality if he stays fit. A real lightning rod for this team.

Got to be the favourite for Club Player of the year. My signing of the season, for sure, and who knows, if we make play offs he could be Championship player of the year aswell

Get to the back of the line Tony pal 🤣

matthew.johns7d ago

I completely understand what he is saying. Even if Man City are stripped of the title it will still not give Stoke and other teams the moments they deserved!

leeclarke05087d ago

It's a fair argument for sure. Hope they get the book thrown at them.

george.patten8d ago

Think there are a few to pick from which is a nice feeling! Got to say the wingbacks have really impressed. Bocat and Johnson. Tchamedu is quality but he’ll have to work to get back into the side

matthew.johns8d ago

Galbraith has been a great bit of business for Stoke, could be a real difference maker in going for promotion!

♥ 1

daviescallum424d ago

I just think these moments like titles and trophies and made special because of what happens during and around the success, not the medals themselves. It’s almost pointless doing this

matthew.johns8d ago

I really don’t know where I stand on this. Even putting myself in the shoes of Stoke fans it’s a weird one, because obviously you would want justice but it just wouldn’t feel the same. It’s a bit like athletes who get their Olympic medals upgraded retroactively after people get done for doping.

We’ve one one major trophy … He’ll Yes 100% I would take it 😬😬

Who knew Stoke were so global 🔥

george.patten11d ago

It’s got to be the two Slovakian lads. Rigo needs to sort himself out or he’s gone in January. Fallen well down the pecking order

daviescallum424d ago

I think he’ll likely be thanking his lucky stars he chose correctly 😂

matthew.johns11d ago

Would have been interesting to see if Robertson performed as well at Stoke as he did at Liverpool, this decision could have changed football history!

jameslloyd14.jl12d ago

Didn’t they try to sign Axel Witsel instead of Imbula around 2016

daviescallum424d ago

Promotion is definitely a real possibility especially with the expanded places. Would be happy to see Stoke back in the Prem

matthew.johns11d ago

Mark Robins knows what it takes to get a team into the play-off, and with it being expanded this year I’m backing Stoke to get in there!

♥ 1

peter.lynch12d ago

I think a playoff spot is very much possible, but that’s where the dream will end in my opinion. So tough up there and even more so when it comes to a few major games in the playoffs

♥ 1

daviescallum424d ago

Start dreaming now! Why not?!

jamie.theodosi15d ago

Encouraging for Stoke that Robins is picking up results again. I still think they’ll be behind 10-12 teams this season just in terms of quality and consistency

matthew.johns15d ago

It is still early days, but I think Stoke have to be in the promotion conversation. Robins is a brilliant manager and I really think he could put The Potters in contention. Two unreal goals to turn things around as well, very impressed!

george.patten16d ago

No doubt in my mind that Ethan Galbraith could do a job in the Prem. Johansson would be a solid keeper for most bottom half sides as well. Few others are borderline, but would still say Devenny is at that level

matthew.johns18d ago

The standout for me from my lifetime has to be Begovic, such a reliable Premier League goalkeeper

♥ 1

peter.lynch18d ago

So many iconic number ones over the years so he has big gloves to fill. Personally still giving the best in my era to Begovic, legend between the sticks 🧤

Leicester fan here - can’t believe we let this lad leave for nothing 🫣🫣🫣

daviescallum4220d ago

Agree with consensus, a shame not to see Bocat in there

♥ 1

leeclarke050820d ago

Bocat was quality. He's unlucky.

♥ 1

george.patten20d ago

Think Bocat should’ve been in there for me. Took his goal well and had a great game

matthew.johns22d ago

What a turnaround it has been for Stoke! Huge to get the first away win of the season as well, could be dark horses for the play-offs 👀

♥ 1

daviescallum4222d ago

Unreal result, I’d love to see Stoke back in the Prem eventually. Promising signs

♥ 1

george.patten22d ago

Huge result. Finally get an away win! 🙌🙌 Loving this atm, think we could get results from our next two games tbf (Shef United and Bolton away), Borough will be a big step up tho

♥ 1

kilham.max23d ago

Great talent this one - thought he’d get a move to a prem club but everyone else’s loss is Stoke’s gain!

♥ 1

matthew.johns24d ago

Two goals in your first 41 minutes for a club is already a great sign of things to come, even if he didn’t get on the scoresheet against Cardiff.

♥ 1

daviescallum4224d ago

Got such a bright future this kid. Was surprised when he went to Stoke tbf, thought he could’ve done better, so think he could spur them on to big things in the future!

♥ 1

kilham.max25d ago

Think you take that and run. Great quality to take points when not playing well!!

♥ 1

george.patten26d ago

Lucky to get a point from that. Fairly poor to be honest. Better than a loss though and good to keep this little unbeaten run going. Onto Watford

♥ 2

markmarston26d ago

8 points would be a good and solid return… build on that win vs Charlton

kilham.max27d ago

They’ve actually outperformed where I thought they’d be, despite being 13th! Think can push up the table in the next five with the likes of Bolton and SHU to come.

♥ 1

peter.lynch27d ago

I can’t see them breaking the top 10 after this round of fixtures, such a tough league and it’s not been the most convincing of starts

charlesjones27d ago

With global warming there won’t be many cold nights in stoke going forwards anyway

kilham.max27d ago

I think Tony needs to take a dose of reality!

peter.lynch27d ago

Oh dear Tony… obviously he’s joking or I’d be a bit worried… they could have a lot of fun in Stoke I’m sure 🪄

♥ 1

daviescallum4225d ago

He’s such a clown 🤡

kilham.max27d ago

Can’t lie, I’d be furious hearing this if he were my coach! What a strange thing to say after a win.

brook01028d ago

So cringe 🥴 I wouldn’t be happy if I was a Charlton fan after that loss!
