Still think we'll see one in, possibly two if it's looking bleak for shawcross.
Personally I reckon Van Ginkell looks a hell of a talent. It'll come good for our midfield and attack but I do think we'll start slow. I'd be surprised at anything other than a defeat against Liverpool.
Mainly concerned about our CB frailties.

Seeing as the last league game we played was a good win I believe Mark Hughes will place his faith in many of last season's players wherever possible. Because of his superb athleticism I can see Cameron being used in the midfield. Obviously Begovic and NZonzi are not available so players have to be chosen to replace them. I think Bojan will not be quite ready for start. He will give Van Ginkel and Afellay more time depending on Arnautovic's fitness.
Team for me:-
Butland
Bardsley, Shawcross, Muniesa, Pieters,
Whelan, Cameron, Arnautovic, Ireland, Walters,
Diouf.
Bench: Given, Johnson, Van Ginkel, Wilson, Afellay, Joselu and Adam
If Shawcross does not play then Cameron should play centre half and Van Ginkel will come into midfield.

I'm just old enough to have been supporting stoke when we unexpectedly beat Leeds in 1985, 6-2 and then beat them again in 86 7-2 (Attendance 12,000). So for that reason I think (know) Stoke will beat Liverpool 7-1. Twisted logic, I know, but true  Butland Bardsley, Shawcross, Muniesa, Pieters, Van Ginkel, Whelan, Arnie Bojan, Diouf, Joselu, |

Affelay............Adam.............Arni

This has to be the first time in years that we go into the first game of the season and I have absolutely no idea who will be starting.
Does Hughes know? Does anyone know?
Sunday's certainly going to be interesting that's for sure.

Sunday's certainly going to be interesting that's for sure. Yeah quite bizarre isn't it? Out of the ten outfield players, there are only three (Muni, Eric and Arnie) that I feel confident enough, to be able to suggest what position they'll start in, as for the rest, it's anybody's guess. |

We really don't want to lose this game given 2 tough away ones to follow without any pace In the wide areas they will be banker defeats .
Sadly I can't see much from any of those three so stand by for
" It's very difficult to get top players to come In our situation. "

This (barring any new arrivals this week of course). which is very unlikely I'd hazard a guess that you know about as much as I do with regards to how many players we're talking to and how close any of them are to putting pen to paper. Which, by the way, can be summed up by the following image.  |

Which, by the way, can be summed up by the following image. it's frustrating to be honest pal. To be honest mate I'd rather it be kept quiet and let those at the club get on with doing their jobs. As a fan, I'm enjoying it whilst the good times last; some of the players (actually, most of them) are pretty much the best players I've ever seen in my time as a Stokie. The potential production line of talent is equally as exciting, and with another 4 weeks of the transfer window still to go, I quite like the guessing game of who might come in to play alongside some of my current favourite players  |

Didn't see that one coming ... the football season is about to start and Benji's predicting failure in our fixtures.
