So I'm just going to go ahead and assume that Shaqiri thought he was signing for the other team in red and white stripes. How the heck did Stoke pull that off?

The idea of building a squad to take us forward is to buy players who are at least as good as our first team or even better. That's progress
Buying failed loanee' won't help us progress and blocks the route for our youngsters to step up into the team

I'm not so sure Ron sees him as a failure.

It doesn't block youngsters if they are not ready for the step up yet. Also it's a squad game not just a team game. You have to look at our squad under Cortese. He did the only buy players better then the first team idea. Yes our first team was strong but we hardly had any back up at all.
 
Gueye going to have talks with Villa after a £9m bid was accepted.

Someone claiming to be itk on saintsweb, who was right about the Long deak has said Ogbonna will be done before end of the week. Also said we were in very much for Bolasie.

That would imply that we're not in for him any more?

As for Ogbonna, I know little about him as a player, but I do hope it doesn't mean that we've accepted defeat when it comes to Toby.
 
So many people claim to know stuff on there now. I only trust K Billy and Guan.

Sorry wrong word used. The way he wrote it said we still are in talks over Bolasie.

It would be an exciting signing but I'm not completely sure it makes any sense. He'd be very expensive, and wide forward is a position in which we're very well stocked with Mane, Tadic, Long, Rodriguez, JWP (sort of) and possibly Elia.
 
Interesting if true. I personally think it would make a lot of sense. In signing Mane and Elia (and Long, to an extent), Ron has shown himself to be much fonder of a direct, pacey winger/foward than Poch ever was. And from Bolasie's point of view, we would be a potential stepping stone between Palace and a top club (who he no doubt has ambitions to ultimately for - obviously whether he ever proves himself good enough for that level, only time will tell).
