Stoke City's Jack Butand isn't holding back ......it isn't just us then who are crap in the transfer market !!! Though let's hope what we have got, can get us over the line in the next two games. And next season, let's also hope for a complete overhaul of our scouting/transfer system, but I'm not holding my breath....
"Relegated Stoke City need to look at their "farcical" transfer dealings before signing the players needed to mount a return to the Premier League, says goalkeeper Jack Butland.
England keeper Butland blamed "players you cannot rely on" being signed by the club.
"The whole recruitment process needs looking at, to be honest," he said.
Former Real Madrid forward Jese Rodriguez scored one goal in 13 appearances during his loan spell from Paris St-Germain and has taken unpaid compassionate leave for the remainder of his contract.
Forward Saido Berahino has started just 11 games since being signed from West Brom for £12m in January 2017 and has never scored for the club. He is now training with the under-23s, as is defender Kevin Wimmer, an £18m signing from Tottenham last summer.
Record signing Giannelli Imbula, a midfielder who cost £18.3m from Porto, has spent this season on loan at French side Toulouse
Meanwhile, two former Barcelona forwards, Ibrahim Afellay and Bojan Krkic, have been frozen out at the Bet365 Stadium, with the latter spending this season on loan at La Liga side Alaves.
"There's been transfers that aren't even part of the squad for all kinds of reasons, whether it be discipline, whether it be lack of performance," Butland, 25, said.
"You've got to look at that - what decisions are being made and the type of characters."
"But you look at others and they're not even here to have an input. It's not because they were playing at the top of their game, because if they were they'd be here," he continued.
"Too many of the recent investments, and over the years, are completely unused and that's unacceptable. So before anyone is signed and any changes happen that's got to be looked at because it's been farcical really." |  | | |  |

Maybe they've been dealing with the same agents as us, when you look at some of the dross Stoke and we've bought, you've got to be thinking someones been oiling the cogs somewhere. |  |

Butland making costly errors every other game played it's part in their relegation too he shouldn't be talking. |  | | |

Looks like Butland is looking for an easy move already.
Strange really though because when I read his interview and once I took the named players out, I thought he was talking about Beaky and us |  |
| If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious. |

It certainly makes you wonder. |  |

Yep! Agree because the outcomes of Stokes signings start ringing serious alarm bells, the end outcome beggars belief.... Looks absolutely rotten to the core there also! You could swear that Huw Jenkins has been given a part time D.O.F consultancy role at Stoke also.
It's a black comedy of errors (or should that be terrors?) showing staggering incompetence that has been taken to the absolute extreme! |  |

Some very interesting reading on the Stoke forums, they be more than happy for us to turn them over and relegate Hughes. Deffo no love lost there, wonder if their players felt the same? |  | | |

May be wrong but wasn't both the Stoke and WBA chairmen the men HJ admired and tried to emulate? Be careful who your friends are. |  |

We'll take any advantage. Let's hope we get something tomorrow to make Stoke game relevant. |  | | |

Exactly.
Time now for the men to stand up and fight. |  |

Good riddance to the dirty cūnt. I feel sorry for the championship clubs that have to tolerate his shithouse sly tackles |  |

Could almost be a cut and paste - swap Fabianski for Butland and the names of players brought in and you have Swansea City the last three seasons. |  |
