Turns out we could afford him after all then - the club get rightly criticised at times but sounds to me like they’ve done absolutely nothing wrong here.....

I'm sure there will be plenty coming out apologising to our hierarchy. No?

They should have invented some kind of device to fast forward in time and see into the future I definitely agree with that......turns out we could AFFORD him though do you not agree?

Always thought that Gladioli was a skunk. If that disgraceful strategy is true, then the FA and PL should shaft such scum-ridden clubs.

Gary Mellor just said on Radio Stoke he'd been working on it for 3 weeks.
Didn't sound too chuffed.

Can’t be overly suprised though - a young English talent was certain to get Man City interested (it looks good on their stats and there is every chance of profit when selling him on after a few years in their reserves) - we need to wise up a bit with our targets be it players or managers!

And he was at a club they owned 80% of. Why wouldn't they take him?

This is no bullshit rumour. My guess is Cartwright has been in touch with Mellor who was at the MLS Combine last week. If this has anything to do with Lambert I will be amazed. This is about Stoke getting a Stoke born talent back in the fold. He’s a winger just like his dad. Can play both sides. Can he displace Shaq on the right or Choupo & Ramadan on the left? I doubt it. It’ll be great to see him at Stoke but let’s keep expectations in check. He’s been a star & number 1 draft pick in the MLS. There will be a transition which may or may not work out. See what I did there Pity Man City fucked it up.

Had a rattle with John , jacks dad before the match tonight he reckons we offered 3 million for him and was told by New York the figure what was needed but we was reluctant to go for it and by the time we would go for the amount they wanted it had already been sorted for him to go Man City and boro , his old man is gutted he ain’t signed for us and jack was desperate to play in the premier
