Stokes has played in the Premier League, Championship and SPFL. He's won plenty and played 9 times for his country.  He's also played european football against some top clubs.  Has he really wasted his career?

Ability wise, he could have done a lot more.

I thought he was a very good player for Celtic.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Absolutely yes. He didnt fulfil his potential. 

Bad choices, petulence and immaturity.

Totally.

He had Ferguson, Wenger and Houllier all personally call to his house to sign him as a 15yo.

Yes but these guys signed up tonnes of top young talent who never made it like Ravel Morrison for example.  STokes has still had a good career.  I liked him at Celtic too but he simply wasn't a top top players as they would say on Newstalk.

Morrison local lad, difference.

My point is that the regional scout or head scout didnt call to his house.

He might get a job in Mountjoy on the mannequin assembly team. The low risk category prisoners can put the body parts together and they can get Anto to stick the head on them.

Is there an Anthony Stokes professional tennis player?  I keep hearing Anthony stokes is in court number 1 today.  Been hearing it for a few years now.

If he had sense. He should be set up for life. Could have been an excellent Championship or maybe PL striker. 
He ought to have been our chief Number 9 for the last few years. Should have 50 plus Caps and be in double digits. What an enormous waste of talent. A huge waste for him and has been a real loss for us. Weve never properly replaced the Quinn Cas options at 9. We don't have reall ly traditional 9s coming through either.

idiot.

I saw Jay Emmanuel Thomas playing at Livingston recently. Pushing 30, 10 pounds overweight, still got “JET” on the back of his shirt like a bellend. I don’t know what happened at arsenal that led to all those promising kids wasting their careers.

That said, JET is practically a Nobel prize winner compared to our Anthony.

stokes managed a respectable career of achievements though, emmanual thomas definitely did not. stokes off the field stuff had him held back, but he still did pretty ok as careers go

Happens at every club all over britain, look at Ravel Morrison, Nile Ranger, clubs can’t control sh*t attitudes.

You probably never heard of him because he concentrates on the big american tournaments like the miami open. He beat that Jimmy Connolly in the final.

That's coz he loves the astroturf they use over there. Anto doesn't like grasses.
