I think CM is up there with one of the main areas we need to look at tbh, if N'Zonzi stays we need someone to play next to him, at the moment I can only see it being Whelan and we need better than him as a starting option imo. Whelan is not a bad choice, but I still hope both Wilson and Cameron can turn out to be very good midfielders for us. Maybe Cuveiller soon can take a step up as well and we can always hope Palacios gets his head sorted too! A winger or two, a striker and a left back should be the priority in my opinion! Thats my take on it too. Let's not forget we still have Ness and Mo too.

and a pass to premiership football to prove he's up to it? If that was the case surely 'him and his agent' would have been happy with Southamptons wage offer. I guess so, but put yourself in his shoes, it's early in the transfer window, bigger more established clubs could come along and pay him his demand's human like the rest of us we all go to work for the same reason, to earn as much as possible. He is probably very aware of other clubs interest so he's waiting for the best offer. Or maybe he's always wanted to play for Stoke?!

He's rejected a move to southampton after a 12mil fee was agreed. He now wants to talk to Cardiff.

There's only one club that will pay him the money he wants without caring about it.
Step forward the Academy of Football.....the team that won us the World Cup in '66......
Oh and i think they still need to sell?.

We should run a mile. Another player and agent who are in it purely for the money. Don't agree with some comments about CM either tbh. We have the below who I can think of who can play CM: Cameron Whelan Nzonzi Adam Wilson Palacios (if he got fit) This should be enough and doesn't warrant such a huge outlay especially on an unproven player. Yes Celtic were in champions league etc but hardly makes him a top class CM player and not worth a £12m gamble which could be used at FB, Striker and wingers.

We were never going to be in the mix at £12.5 million for him were we?

Its an eyewatering amount of money for a player from the noddy SPL. But the major surprise is that the likes of Cardiff and Southampton and prepared to meet that evaluation and bung the agent a fortune. Boy some clubs are spending big.

Not as nuts as someone paying £35 million for Andy Carroll though Or £8m on a player never used I'd say that's a bit different as he should have been worth it and I'd guess quite a few were happy at the time (don't want or need another Pulis debate so I'll stop that there), where as Andy Carroll never was.
