I feel after the whole pig head incident Jones have no future at Stoke as he will probably be seen as a negitive influence in the dressing room. I hope I am wrong though.

now that's just Pur pig-headed...just joking ..I have never been in such a high level setting mehself..but I more think, he may probably be more respected for manning up (not to be confused with any politician)..and his future will depend purely on the new coach, and who transfer players the club could get, and at what price...in addition, if the club wants to go a different football direction/style, then KJ has to get more explosive with ball at his feet.i.e change his current style..Can't just setup anymore, has to impress with skills, at least look dangerous etc etc. Didn't cost the club no unnecessary money, so I feel dem dun move on..like most ppl have

I believe that as maxg said, that will depend on the new coach. My fear is that when the new coach comes in all they will see is a prototypical/stereotypical setup and wait English center forward. I would love to see a return to the KJ who initially impressed at Sunderland.

I would too, after he blotched the QPR job.  Spent a lot of money on pretty pedestrian talent.

I woulda bet money Mark Hughes would never manage in the prem again unless he bring a side up via promotion. All that fella know how to do is spend plenty money on names. He has never won more than 50% of his games and his last 3 teams have been fragmented (Man City), listless (Fulham) and abject (QPR)

Kenwyne isn't really a Hughes type player, but even without a change of manager its been obvious for a long time he needs to find pastures new.  He has 1 year left on his contract so maybe hang on for a Bosman but his value and possible wages have only been heading one way for a couple of years now.

How de hell does Mark Hughes continue to get work? He must have de hardest working agent in the game. I hope he does give the man more than the standard 15%.

KJ has been playing a really good game. Looking confident, lost the ball once or twice but showing real hustle to win it back. Great freekick by Pennant

Wow Stoke up to 5th after that result. I'm actually quite impressed by their brand so far this season, easy on the eyes. In the game today they had over 55% of the possession. Nice mix of short crisp passes with the occasional long balls and KJ holding up play on top. Nice. Pennant has added a spark off the bench this season. Wonderful free kick today. My only problem is this Walters character, for some reason he's always on the pitch despite his miss hit shots and wasted chances. In fact Stoke would have gotten something out of every game if he hadn't missed that penalty against Liverpool.

I am not sure if Hart had a positive motivational talk with KJ, but since the Gold Cup he has been playing well.

By far, the best away performance by Stoke in a long time and its the first back to back wins in a while (I think). KJ is making the best of his opportunity with his two starts and may it continue. The 'donkey' that is Walters works his sock off and will be first on the team sheets because of effort and work rate. However, if he was replaced by a Darren Bent or Jermaine Defoe type player to play alongside KJ, there will be goals galore.

Deadline day: Stoke complete the signing of forward Marko Arnautovic
www.skysports.com

Stoke have completed the signing of forward Marko Arnautovic on a four-year contract from German outfit Werder Bremen.

The 24-year-old becomes the fourth new arrival under boss Mark Hughes following the signings of Erik Pieters, Marc Muniesa and Oussama Assaidi.

The Austrian international, who had a brief spell at Inter Milan, was reported to be worth around £2m.

A statement from the Potters read: "Stoke City are delighted to sign Austria international winger Marko Arnautovic from German side Werder Bremen.

"He joins on a four-year deal for an undisclosed fee."

Everton set siege to Stoke goal yesterday. This did not change until 3-0 down, an the introduction of 2 Concacaf players. Shea & Jones. Although the result was already decided, the commentators remarked on the slight reduction in bleeding that occurred.
Seems like board members, I refer particularly to the KJ 1st touch critics didn't see this one. FYI, his control and turns were very good, one was particularly amazing, of course, y'all miss it, cause not ah word

Had a nice through ball to Crouch as well. His problem is consistency. Some games his touch is nice and some games is like passing to a wall.

And Hughes saying Crouch was man of the match when everybody else saying it was Charlie Adam. So Crouch seem to have a place in his heart. KJ have to hope Crouch get another buss mouth.

Again, he was an unused sub today. Crouch is playing well so it is hard to justify taking off a man who is in form. It does not look good at the moment.

Does scoring a goal equals playing well? Cause other than the goal Crouch really ain't do anything. Can't say ah man not playing well if he's not getting a look.
