Probably somewhere like Belgium? takes 3 years to get a passport but we can reapply for a work permit during the time he's away. Surely he will get more caps for USA in that time so shouldn't take long to get (hopefully)

If he's one for the future (a more immediate future than academy level) then it would be ideal.

At the game again today It does look like something's moving on this one. Where would a loan make sense? Some smaller Portuguese/Scandinavian team? Who'd have thought it?

Still training with us, seems a long time if it was just a visit to see fellow yanks.

He was last over only about 3 weeks ago, wasn't he?
Surely there's a bit more than a catch-up and a couple of training sessions to tempt him over again?

Was wearing his Stoke kit at the training ground yesterday. Whether we give it to anyone I don't know.

Before we all get carried away, are we sure it's not just some guy that plays for Newcastle Town that looks like him?
Or could it even be Jonny Walters?

Sign him, loan him out to Hannover, sign Diouf. Job done. It's an interesting thought is that. I wonder if Agudelo is set to become a bit of a bargaining tool for us? Maybe for Luuk De Jong? Reason I say him is, he's not actually a starter at his club, Whereas Ramos, and Diouf are key players at theirs. I'd imagine that Monchengladbach are more likely to take a risk on replacing a fringe player like De Jong, with a young prospect such as Agudelo (until the summer) than the likes of Hannover and Hertha Berlin are replacing Diouf or Ramos. Or maybe, he's just going on loan and I'm looking into things way too much as per

Heard today that a few premier league clubs felt that Stoke had been harshly treated by the appeals panel and were concerned how it may effect them with their dealings with over seas players. Apparently we have been advised by officials/legal team at another premier league club that if we appeal again we have a very good chance. He did say that we did everything ' by the book' and perhaps we were maybe a little naive in doing that. What he meant by that i dont know. One thing for sure is that Stoke are desperate for him to sign and they are doing everything in their power to help him fit in and feel wanted. It might be as long as the summer until he puts on a Stoke shirt in anger but i believe the club feel they will eventually get their man.

Agudelo was out with the lads again last night, surely he will sign?

Loan to a La Liga club would be a win-win for both sides.

Im sure Coates has learned from this now and is giving a couple of favours or promises to the members of the Appeals Panel like the big clubs do (Allegedly)

I honestly don't know mate, I was chatting to someone who told me he will be signing for us but going on loan to Germany. How true that is mate I don't know, but I've never posted a rumour before so thought I'd just share it
