re: **** Official Summer 2012 Transfer Thread ****

I like Stoch, too. He is good enough to be at least a rotation player on any team in the world besides City, United, Barca, and Real. He is tiny but doesn't get hurt a lot, and as you said, he is a solid scorer. He's also only 22, which I think people forget since he has been around for a while. I guess his stock falls a little bit since he looks like a Neo Nazi version of Ryan Gosling though

Still, with the Krasic trasnfer, we now have 2 guys who are basically the exact same player and have very comparable levels of talent. Considering we had to let go of a borderline world-class left back who was only 26 and really enjoyed his time at the club, I'd rather have Reto Ziegler on board with just Krasic or Stoch rather than Krasic or Stoch starting, the other guy coming off the bench in the 60th minute, and our left back being no better than Heath Pearce.

So please, Brendan Rogers, if you are reading Tiger Droppings at 3:30 in the morning, place a 10-12 million pound bid on Stoch. Everyone will be happy in that scenario.
