STOKE LOOK TO HIJACK DEAL & THEY HAVE

Updated
Stoke City today signed Oliveira.





Stoke City look to hijack Oliveira loan deal.

Reports late on Sunday suggest Mark Hughes will try to seal a deal on Monday.

John Cross at thre Daily Mirror says:

Stoke have come in and offered better terms for the one-year loan deal – and a fee of £860,000 – with Hughes keen to bring in more firepower to his forward line.

Who says he was ever a City target?

Assuming it is true that Malky is after him, that will be a proper kick in the plums

Who says he was ever a City target?

Tucker said he wasn't so he is a target.

Do we even need another striker? A-Corn, Maynard and Campbell seems to be enough to go with. Defence is far more important right now.

Stoke outbid us, yeh! I can see that, if we were ever in for him then he would be coming here not Stoke

What? Stoke paid £10m for Crouch and their income in the past 5 years dwarfs our by about 10 fold. people need to realise we aren't the moneybags club they think.

Who says he was ever a City target?

A lot of the Portuguese and British press state that we have been after him. The Mirror even goes further by saying that we have been in negotiations with him for weeks which again suggests that we can't seem to close deals down.

There is no way that MM or the club is going to put into writing that we are after a certain player ! No smoke without fire?

If there's no smoke without fire then we have tried and failed to sign Oliviera, Cardoza, Wanyama, Bony,
Gomis, Ince, Colback, Van Dyck, Morgan, Barnett, Hunt, Fer, Graham, Cole, Robson-Kanu, Mackie, Yobo
Kalou, Kuyt, Byram, Gradel... my fingers ache now, need i go on?

The sooner people are aware that agents, players and clubs use the media to move on footballers, the sooner we can understand that we are not missing out on EVERY player we go for.

They know that the clubs rarely make a statement to refute their claims so all clubs are used in this way. We are a favourite at the moment for players looking to get a mid table premiership team. There are rumours put out that the little upstarts are after him and the mid table teams get a tad concerned.

Any agent worth his salt will have contacts in the media. Any agent will tell their contacts that "Oh Cardiff City
have shown an interest" - the journalist will go off that and say the've had the information from ''a source'' How
many quotes and rumours for the above 20 odd players (i could have added another dozen) have been released
as "Malky Mackay has spoken to the agent and the Club" - maybe four. Why, because without proof, they cannot
put names to the stores. It really is like watching children spitting their dummies out of the pram on here

If the Mirror or Portugese papers said we were in talks with Ronaldo would you believe them?

£860K...... I thought it was 1m fee with a 6m buying option?

People looking for excuses of how we aren't in for players need to wake up.

Probably €1million.

Hes already signed for them

No. YOU need to find proof that we were actually in for him

We were allegedly looking at signing him for past few weeks then within 24 hours , Stoke come in and he signs ?
Just don't sound right?

Just rumours probably and we were never even interested.
f**k him anyway by the looks of his goal scoring record he couldn't score in a brothel with a fist full of fifties

Thank goodness we've not signed all that we have been linked with (most of which is media tosh) or we would have a squad of about 50 by now!!

Fuckinh bunch of Comical Alis on this thread aye

3 weeks til kick off but the reason weve signed just 1 player is because we are not interested in anyone

Yeah ok

Wake up and smell the coffee ffs.

Simon Lim pull your finger out you c**t

Sounds EXACTLY right. Bunch of amateurs at City. Cant close a deal.

Unless you believe the tripe on here and Acorn must have been our only target this summer.

Simon Lim pull your finger out you c**t.

Something can't be right even if we've missed out even on 2-3 targets..... What the f**k are they doing.... Amateurs in the big league
