Maybe we have some of those growth hormone syringes that we used on Ryan lying around.

At 5'11" he's not set to play as a CB... ... so is it a fight between Pieters and Muniesa?! Sign two talented footballers, both who play the same position. Please tell me you're not moaning? Not whatsoever, I am extremely excited by this news. Simply posing the question of how Muniesa will fit in with us.

Highly rated as well according to that link. What a fucking signing that is. 2 Great additions for £3.1 M . Well done Stoke & MH, this is more like it.

Slightly puzzled by this one, Wiki says that he can play left back and center back. Has he been in as back up to Huth and Shawcross? Or competition to Pieters? Or is Pieters center half back up and this guy is our no. 1 left back? Interesting that nobody caught wind if this until today would of thought hed be cover for either postion. its nice now we've got competition for places at the back. one of the problems last season i think was complacently in defence

Or is Pieters center half back up and this guy is our no. 1 left back? Interesting that nobody caught wind if this until today I think the key words here are competition and cover. We now have 4 good (young) players who can cover CB and LB. This will help for cup games and also when Ryan and Huth get suspended and / or injured. It's great to see a healthy, quality squad start to be being built. Be good if we could look at RB if possible, before moving on to forward type players. Very exciting! I'm glad our defensive cover has been pretty poor really especially when Upson left. I think that will be it for defenders we need to be weary about introducing to many players at one go, Wilko & Shotton are more then capable at the moment there's other positions that are higher priority right now. Exciting times though.

When he was contracted to barca he had a €30 million buy out clause in his contract.

Tony will be turning in his Stoke City grave at this news. A player totally the opposite of what he would sign! Indeed. He'd have been spending the run up to pre-season trying to coax Ugo Ehiogu out of retirement. Very exciting signing.

Brilliant signing on the face of it.
The cynic in me is working overdrive though ie Shawcross and Huth.
But he can that cynic can get fucked for now, jizzfuckingtastic!

Even at only 21 coming through the ranks at Barcelona and playing their way could show Shawcross how to come out of defence & distribute the ball effectively, you don't get taught the game at better places than Barca.

Is he definitely going to be first team squad? I can't see him getting many games next season but then admittedly I know nothing about him! It seems a very random, bizzare signing. Fingers crossed weve unearthed a gem!

He's obviously good at passing sideways but can he hoof it to a big man and get within 20 yards? We'll have to wait and see i guess.
