Stoke City: Begovic coy on his Stoke future after super show at Arsenal

“A player plays well for a team so he deserves to be given away for fee ? What kind of logic is that?
Sell Begovic for 15+ million, sign Sorenson for 2 more years and let Butland learn under him !
Get rid of Pulis and use the money for Begovic towards a good full back, a good winger and a good Owen type striker.”

“Rubbish. Tommy's been fine when he's played and has never let us down.”

“Sorensen does not want to stay, he's had enough of Pulis' fake promises, and we should not want him to stay as he's past his best, but there's probably no shortage of Danish clubs that will want him. By the way he must go a free, as a gesture for his superb service for this club.”

“Tommy may well want to stay if guaranteed to be first choice if Bego leaves.Butland may sit on the bench and play cup games,it will all add to his premier apprenticeship.Ironically if Butland had gone to Chelsea he may well have played in the next few games,as Czech could be out for a few weeks with injury.”

“he has been on top form this season and i guess all this news speculation comes with it just like any other player with any other club but i wonder how many less points we would have without him, certianly been one of TP's best signings ever...”

“It seems obvious that Bego will be off in the summer. He is a young, very gifted goalkeeper and I should imagine he wants to win trophies. I am as hard wired a Stoke fan as anyone else on here, but if (arguably) the biggest club in the world want you to play for them, then you would not blame Bego at all and he would leave with my very best of thanks for the job he has done for us and the best of luck for the future (except for two matches a season!) HOWEVER, as has already been alluded, everyone has a price and this exceptional goalie has a price considerably in excess of 8-9 million quid. If Man Utd, or anyone else, want Bego, the bidding should be STARTING at 15 million. Another thing to consider is that Tommy Sorensen has stated that he wants away at the end of the season, because of lack of first team football and, on the basis that Jack Butland has not come as back up to Tommy, we lose two world class keepers at once.”

“rubbish.”

“The deal was done weeks ago 15 million in the summer to man u .Hes been promised first team football so Tommy will probably leave as well .Good business considering Bego was always going to leave, and we get 11 million plus Englands no 2 keeper.”

“The last few games are not goalkeeping faults,but when you watch the play backs of recent games,Huth has seemed off the pace,for both Wigans goals he did not put a foot in and on the second goal,he does not throw himself at the ball like he normally does allowing the player a clean shot.Shawcross has been highlighted so often on tv that he walks on egg shells now and is getting pulled up more.Defenders can,t put a foot in any more and it is ruining the game.a good get stuck in tackle would always get the crowd going but refs are killing the game,or rather the rules are.i get bored watching the tippy tappy Spanish football and i put it on when i need a good kip as i am usually asleep after 15 mins.what happened to good old fashioned proper football.”

“When are people going to understand that there are such people as shrewd businessmen in football? Bego's agent and Peter Coates/Tony Scholes all are, question is who is the wiser. Bego may very well have a contract clause that allows him to leave at a relatively small fee on a set date before the contract runs out, on the other hand Stoke may have had a clause inserted that allows Bego to leave before that date but at a much higher fee. All of the entries including this oneon this page are of course mere speculation. The only facts of the matter are that Asmir will be keeping goal against Reading and that as we speak he has a running lengthy contract with Stoke City.”
