    I think we would get 1-2m from the championship.

    And one that will play, I honestly don't think stokes will get the game time he has been giving in previous seasons.

    This assists stat seems to be the only reason people want us to keep him.

    Do you think the goals will suddenly dry up when he leaves? At the end of the day, he's a striker and he's 3rd choice at the moment. He's not as good out on the wing, and we have enough out there.

    We don't need to sell an asset like Stokes to free up transfer funds, your whole hypothesis is suspect and faulty.Suggests something else is at play, despite the niceties and diversions.

    Leave Stokes alone, there is an agenda to bash Stokes at every turn on here, wonder why that is ?, and aim your fire at the liability Scepovic, and try and get some of the £2M+ back we shelled out on a dud.

    But I agree with you on Derk. We will probably have to terminate his contract, just like we did with Balde.

    He gives us the option of switching formation as well, which is reason enough to keep him around. His assist numbers are excellent and thise stats dont lie. Tony Stokes makes goals for other players and scoring goals is the whole point of football.

    As does Scepovic, as will Ciftci if and when he signs.

    He was getting nowhere near the team in the second half of the season, when we signed GMS and Armstrong. Now with Forrest seemingly fitter than ever, Stokes is even less likely to get a game. Plus we just signed Janko who can play out wide.

    Why can't people just accept that players move on eventually? If we received a bid of £1.5 million for him, we should take it.

    I'm intrigued as to what your accusations on the Stokes bashing is all about... Why would we have an agenda against him.

    I am saying it is one of the worse posts I have ever seen on this forum.
    And that is saying something.

    That I believe our manager might want to cash in on a player who won't be a first team regular, to put his own stamp on the squad. You think that one off the worst posts you have read on this, and you post about having a hard on for Walter smith :rolleyes:

    In Scotland nobody comes close to feeding a no9 better than Stokes. Nobody. You would sell our best assister in 4 out of the last 5 seasons for 1.5m and keep Scep. This is not logical thinking.

    I will counter you last sentance and flip it around to say:
    Why cant people just accept that we should keep players who have done the business for us in the past.

    What is with the obsession for punting players, especially players who have been good for us.

    * are you on. Is this code for something. Ffs man talk sense. The only reason for the Stokes bashing on here is that he is a member of an illegal organisation and all his wages go into the Irish freedom fund, allegedly. Something us upstanding citizens do not condone!:icon_mrgreen:

    Why is it between Stokes and Scep though?

    If I had my way, I'd sell both.... If an offer comes in to sell Stokes for more than 1 mill, then we should take it.

    Well he's not going to be doing much of that from the bench is he? If he even makes it on the bench.

    And again the bit in bold...it was in the past. Stokes being a regular starter is all in the past. The team has moved on.

    I'd hazard a guess that Stokes is one of the highest earners in the squad right now. If we could sell what is essentially, a sub at best, for £1.5 million and free up a decent chunk of wages, we should.

    Utter horseshit.

    Considering what the equivalent goes for in Scotland these days, £1 million is an insult.
