Re: Rabbi Matondo to Stoke

A few comments.

He can't control it or get it out of his feet to run at anybody.
He is in the running to be Stoke's worst ever player.
They should be thankful he is only a loan signing.

All that after two games. It won't change either.

Nothing like a good bit of overreaction.

Not very complimentary to him at all, and the other Welsh dig as well, ‘We have a strong bench, apart from Vokes’.

I'm not a great fan of Vokes.
Loved his goal against the Belgians but he's not that good as his overall game and record suggests. The fact he is stuck on the bench for a Stoke team who struggle for goals says it all.

Wales players and City players seem to get built up as better than they are by some fans. It has gone on for quite some time.

Could well be an overreaction.

He would give Murphy a run for his money here for the least effort and consistently poor performer awards. To think some wanted him here.

He seems to have lost his way at Man City reserves and believed his own hype rather than knuckle down. You check any highlights on YouTube etc and the vast majority is from his Man City youth and reserve days.

You’re quite correct, we’ll always have a soft spot for him for obvious reasons but in reality he ‘filled a gap’ for Wales. Past his sell by date now I fear and annoying for Stokies that he’s obviously picking up a fair old wage, not unlike some ‘stars’ we’ve had over the years.

No, not at all.

Plenty have stolen a wage here over the years.

Are you watching Rotherham Stoke tonight? He's a loan signing and they've signed Berahino, Wimmer etc.

Matondo is rapid, he's very young and he's never really had proper first team football. I like him, I think he's got something. I agree with you on Wales and City players being overrated but I think we'd be a good environment for him as he'd get time.

No I'm not.

I'm looking at the reaction of several fans who are.
Are you?

I trust message boards like this especially when the universal opinion is that he isn't very good.

I've looked on twitter, most think he's been quiet but they've been poor all over. I'm not the one writing him off after looking on a message board. Did you see their board after we beat them? It was the most negative thing I've ever seen.

I've seen a lot more of him than you have.

In the Bundesliga kids get chances. Matondo had a chance at Schalke. He was consistently poor and it looks like he will be here.

We'll go along with your Twitter review of he is havig a quiet game and all those that think he is rubbish are overreacting if you like. Doesn't make much difference to me if you can't or won't see what is in front of you.

1) You don't know how much of him I've seen. He's only had 1500 minutes in total, which is about 16/17 games.
2) YOU'RE NOT WATCHING THE GAME

Stoke fans are though.

One has now suggested they take him off and play with 10.

After we beat them, most of their fans would have lynched half their squad and the manager so I'll take that with a pinch of salt. They're losing to Rotherham so presumably none of them are playing well.

Alright, alright. They're overreacting.
