I am going to go with Palacios, I think he will be like a completely new signing and be our main man.

Arismendi could shine if given the chance, which he won't.
That through ball he played against Columbus Crew was sheer quality; in fact, the only bit of quality from Stoke during the entire second half.
I hope Messrs Whelan and Whitehead were taking notes.

When will we give up on Arismendi. Talk about flogging a dead horse, this horse has died been reincarnated as horse and been flogged to death again in fact flogged so hard he's turned into glue. Arismendi is not cut out for English football and that's being kind. Brighton; under compatriot Gus Poyet, he bombed and ended up out of the matchday squad. Barnsley; ended up out of the matchday squad. Huddersfield; ended up out of the matchday squads and even asked if he could go hone to Uruguay as there was no point in him being there.
Standard copy and paste response now. He's not the messiah, he's a flop

I have high hopes for Cameron. It was confirmed over the past few days that Inchy Heath recommended him to the club and he is proving at Orlando that he has a good eye for a player. I was hoping that players he checked out who he deemed to be too good (or too expensive) for Orlando, would be recommended to Stoke and I think Cameron is the first fruit of that policy.

Tricky question!
I think Rory will prove the doubters wrong yet again, and our centre backs always shine. I am hoping Wilson continues to develop in wide defence.
Offensively it is hard to see anyone doing any more than last season, when the change in personnel at the end of August upst the balance of the team.

completely agree march, i just get concerned when our own fans slag him off and label him as nothing but a throw in specialist because that's how he's become known in the media.apparently though if you're not a flairy, skillful,pacey player then everything else you do on the pitch (which is just as important) seems to get missed by some people

I admire your sarcasm lads. i admire your complete inability to realise that most clubs (especially ones of our diminutive stature) actually NEED personnel who are willing to get their hands dirty and do the ugly stuff and this is just as important as Pennant sliding past players before swinging in an inch perfect cross or Crouch volleying from 30 yards

Rory has been a great servant to the club. Showed great resilience after breaking his leg when he came on loan on his first game against Sunderland.
TP stuck with him and Rory has re-paid the faith for me. Always a solid performer, the throw just took everybody by storm in the first year in the prem. He can also play a simple pass which helps.
Rory will always of been a good signing - great guy too.

I worry that people expect a lot of Palacios off the back of 1 good season years ago for Wigan, didn't really do anything of any note for Spurs....but let's hope he comes good.

Some people don't realise how good Wilson Palacios could actually be if/when Pulis decides to give him a consistent starting role.

Was a good read block 22.
In honesty i didnt see too much of him at Spurs, I'm not one for putting players down needlessly so hopefully this all rings true!

All he needs is a 'decent' run in the side, so he can properly gel with the players around him and fall into the routine. If he gets that chance which he fully deserves, he will be like a new signing.
