How many of these threads end up jinxed?

Last time a thread ended in a sale was Papiss Cisse.

FWIW, I remember a few on here in January, including Stoke's hottest new scout, saying that we should have been in for João Pedro.

Who's the other Watford player who used to come on as a sub and played on the left? Had bleach blonde hair and IIRC scored a worldie on his debut.

Darius Henderson.

Have Stoke ever signed anyone good?  Feel like the word from their scouts should be taken with a grain of salt...

Cucho Hernandez? Signed for Columbus Crew.

That's the one! Always thought it was weird he didn't play more, his record's decent on paper.

 Arnautovic and Shaqiri were class for them. Bojan should have been too.

 

Sounds like they've gone downhill though, think they're now being linked with Ben Arfa and 56 year old Ricardo Queresma.

I've begun a quiet "Pardew to Stoke" campaign.

Actually creased thinking about if Stoke hired Pards. I think I'd look like if The Joker gassed me.

Every time. EVERY fucking time.

[mofo]

Would be very happy with this, every time I've seen him he's looked decent. Watford fans seem to rate him too. Many rate him higher than Richarlison.

[JonBez comesock]

He was excellent against us last season at St James’ Park. 

[TRon]

So we've been told he's not for sale but are preparing a second bid. Interesting.

[The Prophet]

Very much in the Ekitike mould. Young, raw and can play across the front line. If he can add goals to his game, he'll be a serious player.

Seems like he maybe the one. There were people on here who always said that the one we end up with (or at least make a big play for) would be someone out of left field that hasn't been mentioned.

[The Prophet]

"Not for sale" means very little in today's market. It's subtext for "show me the money".

Aye I like him.  But he’s far from the end product.  
 

I think it would be an intelligent signing. 
 

But I don’t expect him to come in and immediately be a massive upgrade on what we have. Honestly, without another more established attacker coming in - it’s a little underwhelming. 
 

Much prefer him to Dennis mind. You can tell he has real footballing ability.

What’s Tommy Smith up to these days? Newcastle fan, wasn’t he?

[Kid Icarus]

His record looks poor until you notice how often he was a sub. His goal to minutes ratio was I think a goal every 1.6 games in real time last season.

 

Watching his highlights, he looks silky like, loves a nutmeg.

They're unlikely going to want to sell another striker after selling Dennis

Let's hope so.

Didn’t he score against us last year climbing above every one of our defenders to get that header?

He also showed a bit of needle about him in that game if I remember. Only 20 years old with massive potential, add the fact he’s another Brazilian not much no to like about this deal if they can pull it off.

[Geordie Boyo]

*tin hat ready* I can actually see him playing off Callum Wilson on the left possibly replacing Maxi. I think Eddie is becoming more fed up with his final ball and has for a long time. Tons of ability, but those final balls are crucial.

 

….just a thought…!

Is Almirons final ball better than Maxi's?
