Two things:

i) Brooker isn't from the Midlands originally and the Stoke area certainly isn't one that you would fall in love with (it regularly comes out as one of the worst areas of the country to live in).

ii) You have a history of posting complete bullshíte so this post doesn't surprise me in the slightest.

Legend, first rule of dating - never call the girl straight after. Relax. Take your time. Let the dust settle.

Same with fishing. Bait up. Observe. Wait until the conditions are just perfect.

Then, when the fish are least expecting it - BAM!

And thats what Willis was talkin 'bout...

[cheshire_red]

Stoke have not got that sort of money. Rotherham is pretty close though!!

[Guest Legend City Man]

Madger, I don't know what your trying to say, i never post BS.

[fRed]

Brooker to Stoke it is then.

You sure?

Are you posting from an African river?

[cider head]

blimey brooker has been up and down the motorway tonight and still scored 2 for us...

he ain't going nowhere

[sirscrumpton]

Madger, I don't know what your trying to say, i never post BS.

Got to be quote of the year.

[cider head]

i'm thinking they were looking at rotherhams front two

as we don't have a 20+ striker in the team and that's not knocking

brooker but he works harder than a goal pocher.

Brooker is going NO WHERE :@

Think he got his words mixed up - probably meant always

£500k bid coming in January.........

your trying to pull my plomker aint you? 500k get out of here, would want double that for starters!

[Guest mtraveller]

500k for brooker stoke are having a laugh. tyson went from wycombe to forest for 750k and brooker is by far the better player.

[Guest wed wobin]

There has also been a Leicester scout there for the last few games checking on him. They have got problems up front.

[Guest C.T.I.D]

i bet he won't be off to Reading

their last purchase has still got that dodgy ankle problem from when he was here

[Guest Legend City Man]

But the big question is ... Is Steve Brooker going anywhere? I think he will stay.

[samo]

if its true, i'd hope its more like a million for ol' shiny head! PLUS he's our captain, so i'd tag another 150k on any offer if i was GJ!

but i think its more likely the rotherham players were getting eyed. burtons on 13 goals and has got a transfer request in and butler isn't looking too shabby either. although i get the feeling GJ would sell almost any senior pro to raise funds this window, i think brooker would be the one he'd fight tooth and nail to keep.

[Guest yateady]

More likely deon burton is of to stoke.

[robins72]

Burton is going to Wednesday.

[Guest The Codfather 0312]

This is rubbish as it's a known fact that the Stoke owners only like buying foreign players and they could get a player similar to brooks from Norway or something for a third of the price.

Think you'll find that Bangoura was a club record fee.

Mamady Sidibe was born in Mali so that makes it four foreign and three english, Not good for the english game is it? And maybe you can tell me why they sacked Tony Pullis?

[sirscrumpton]

How would Madger know that? He's not on the board of directors

[Nibor]

The reason given was failure to exploit the foreign transfer market.

The smart money is on "preferring to sign his own rag tag collection of aging injury prone crocks that guarantee him certain financial rewards over the cheap icelanders the owners preferred".

[Chivs]

How do you know Madger isn't on their board of directors? He admits to knowing Stoke and can reel off all their transfers.

Creep up behind him and ask out loud if anyone wants an oatcake. If Madger spins round and says "yes" before correcting himself we know we 'have a wrong'un.

Out of de boat...

Cityman has less credibility than Saeed al-Sahhaf, makes i laugh..

[Jimmy]

Madger, I don't know what your trying to say, i never post BS.

I assumed Madger was referring to 'de Nile'?

As in he is in ................ de nile.

Am I being incredibly insightful or have I mastered stating the obvious?

I would hope the latter, I fear the former

Mamady Sidibe was born in Mali so that makes it four foreign and three english, Not good for the english game is it? And maybe you can tell me why they sacked Tony Pullis?

The point being he was bought from an English club and not from Norway or somewhere foreign.

[Guest Dannycidered03]

Hey Guys and Lasses

On this brooker transfer speculation,

What i heard wednesday night outside the club shop chattin to some fan's who know's there stuff. They said the club HAVE been approached by Sheffield Wednesday for brooker but don't no much else.

In all honnestly i don't think brooker will go ANYWHERE! He always give 110% and a great lad but at the moment i don't see him (on his current form) as a championship striker. People may think different, its just my own opinion.

Cheers,

[Guest Redpepper]

What you have to remember is that there are always scouts at matches checking on all players from both teams. Where we sit in the Williams the scouts frequently sit right behind us. Indeed there are a few that are very regular visitors.

With regards to Brooker there have been numerous scouts looking at him including Plymouth. He's one of our best players so we shouldn't expect anything else.

We should view scouting activity as confirmation that we have some good players, not that they are necessarily going to leave the club!

Do they wear T-Shirts with Big letters on it saying "I am a Scout from Stoke, Plymouth etc etc"?

[Guest Redpepper]

I've never been asked a question by a chimp before .......

Scouts often wear coats with badges but as we're a sociable bunch we often turn round and have a friendly chat. They are human after all and most of them are quite happy to discuss the club they are from and in most cases the players they are looking at.

The scouts normally fall into 2 distinct categories.

Firstly they are from a team we're going to be playing in a few games time. They normally take lots of notes and draw lots of diagrams of set plays etc.

The second set are often compiling scouting reports on a number of players from both sides.

You normally know who a scout has been watching when there is a substitiution and there then follows a mass walkout of scouts!

[Guest Westonsupermare_Wednesdayite]

He's signing for us

[Flaxbourton Red]

He's signing for us

ha ha

your going down

[Guest MarkyBoyPVFC]

I've heard he's been linked with Hull City as well from a couple of Hull fans in the know but they're like Wednesday, they're striker whores. Bid for anyone who plays up front!

Any striker that hasn't been linked with the Wendies must be insulted been as they've been linked with over 100 already this season!

[Guest MarkyBoyPVFC]

Stoke can't afford Brooker. They're £12m in debt and have been told they have to sell before they can buy.
