I have been thinking for a while that if we signed the Spanish midfield guy then maybe Joe would go, unless Adam and Imbula go instead.
He scored some important goals early on in the season

Good player, tries hard but don't think he fits. Shame very likeable but we need stoppers in midfield as that is where we are often overun.

Would anybody be that upset if we made a bit of a profit and brought in, say, Delph? Wouldn't mind the profit bit, but I'm a bit worried about just how good Delph is; another ManC player who has sat on his backside for too long instead of playing in the Prem.? Edit: Allen actually reminds me a lot about a young Josh Mahoney. He runs around a lot to little effect. But over the years as he matured he calmed down and became far more creative.

'Mr Coke's' comparing Joe Allen to John Mahoney is pretty spot on. I hope there's nothing in this.

Please let this be true.
Sadly, when something looks too good to be true, it usually is.

I wouldn't have much concern over him being shipped out (at a profit) if, and it's a big "if".....we bring in a top class midfielder to replace him prior to letting him go.
He has the makings of decent enough player, but we've not really found a role that suits him. He's not a number 10, he's not disciplined enough for a defensive midfield role, and although he's got a great engine, he doesn't seem to make much use of that energy in terms of defensive cover or creativity. Seems to run himself into the ground without offering much of anything at all, in my opinion.
In terms of value? If Swansea are willing to offer anything over $15 million, and we can bring in a quality replacement before a deal is done, I would take it all day long.

If we could only have one or the other then I would much rather keep Allen than sign Delph.

A good passer, keeps things simple, gets into good areas, can play in different positions when needed, not normally a passenger in the team and does alot of dirty work. He is one of the few players i am proud to call a stoke player, you may not always get a polished performance but he will always give 100%. Underrated massively by some of our fans probably because he doesn't do tricks.

The Mahoney comparison is a good one. I knew him slightly - we drank in the same pub in Nantwich at the time he joined Stoke. You are right - he was always a Duracell bunny, but it took a few years for him to calm down and make sure that his efforts worked for the team. Eventually he became one of my favourite players and carved out a good career for club and country.
