Pretty much. You'd have to think if we wanted him and Stoke were the other team we'd get him.

On that note, Daily Mail are rustling jimmies and saying that Stoke have 'outbid' us hahaha.

which is why i don't think we're even that arsed. no credible links to him really at all (one daily mail with no quotes). Pretty spot on Belgian journos confirmed about looking at Mertens though

I'm not too knowledgeable about Stoke's finances, but I'm fairly certain most PL clubs can outbid us if they wanted too.

Sheeds (the poster) used to have a mate who was a Stoke agent and had all the ITK stuff. He was put off posting on here by the hordes of negative comments he got.

You need to have submitted a bid to be 'outbid' which we never.

But the Kitbag money is there so we can add that to any bid for Shakiri...

Bang on with that comment.
To be fair to bill though he is busy looking 24/7 for a buyer

Well... yeah.

The point was that most clubs in the PL can afford to outbid us, if it ever came to that.

How do you know we never. Maybe we did and where outbid for both him and Payet. Maybe the reason we didn't bid was because the price already went to high. Maybe we where never in for him at all and it was all just agent talk.

I think it's at least likely that our board was penny pinching.

It would have been reported everywhere if we did. Bids very rarely go unnoticed by the media.

They should take him for a classy Stoke night out... That would convince him.
