The detail in that story is amazing!
I don't know what to think about Hoilett, my overriding feeling is that we should avoid him like the plague. But there is a good player in there somewhere.

Yeah, at the start of the window I wouldn't want us to go near him, now I'm twitchy enough to want him here tomorrow.

Is he left sided or right? Conna say I've seen a massive lot of him really for the past two years.

Believed his own hype got his big money move & sat on it. No thanks

Looking at the paper could it be
Ince to Spurs Townsend to QPR Hoillett to Stoke

I hope he's in a better physical condition than the last time i saw him play. Overweight, unfit, and frankly disinterested.
Not a fan at all.

True but I still think Hull, Cardiff, Sunderland, West Brom, Newcastle and Palace are a bit crap too. I aren't too worried yet, lots of time to get the players we need.

He's started the sason well, by all accounts. The 5live commentators were saying he was their main threat in the opener against Sheff Wed (even though he missed a sitter). He looked like he'd put on a bit of timber last season. Perhaps Harry and his mates have got him back into shape this pre-season.

He's quick, can beat a man, can cut inside and get a shot off. Something that basically none of our wide players are capable of....if we can get him back to his Blackburn form of two seasons ago there is a decent player in there. Don't forget he is still only 23 so consistency will come with age and experience.
The likes of Ince, Sinclair, Kalou etc don't look like they will ever be targets so I'd take Hoilett tomorrow.

And have Villa sorted their defence out and added steel to the midfield? I have no idea tbh. We definitely need 2/3 attacking players though, that's for sure.

Ironic if our 'up to date' 'move with the times' transfer policy bolis down to a player the manager knows because he has has worked with him twice in the past !

He does tick a lot of the boxes and you would think Hughes would be especially wary about the players at QPR given their disinterest essentially cost him his job.
Good player for me, not as hyped as Ince or Sinclair. There is definitely a question mark over his commitment but that is sometimes the risk you have to take and you wouldn't envisage him costing a substantial fee (and the option of a px with Crouch) or wages.

Just wish we would bloody make a move now instead of "monitoring", "watching", "being interested", "being linked", "closely watching", "believed to be interested", "hopeful", "preliminary talks", "remains interested", "shortlisted", "list of potential targets"....etc etc.
Come on Stoke, we've done the watching, now it's time to get started and bring in these players instead of dithering around. We've had our shop in the MLS and we have had a taste of bringing in kids for trials, now let's get focused on front of house and start making significant moves for these players instead of watching them from a distance join the likes of West Ham, Sunderland, Cardiff and Norwich.
