Tremendous news, so significant in many ways.
He has not just agreed to honour his contract, but actually agreed to sign a new 5 year one!
Top man; this is what he said in the link in OP:
“It has been a different four months that I imagined, but I am still incredibly proud and honoured to be here at such a wonderful club, playing in the Premier league for Stoke City,”
Well it may not be in the Prem any longer, but it won't be long with the squad we are building and holding together.

A bit rich coming from the most useless loanee since John Guidetti.

You just know he is going to be the answer to a poorly constructed online Sentinel quiz based around players you've definitely forgot ever played for us. Everyone will fail of course as 80% won't remember he wore the red and white and the 20% that do won't be able to spell the fucker's name.

Premier league standard that 👍 Mid-table easy quality wise Isn't that the guts of the defence leaked goals like a sieve last season? In some ways yes but in a lot of ways no. From what I can remember there were changes to the formation and personnel from game to game which always has a negative impact on the defence. Mix that with a midfield under Hughes that offered zero protection.

Great news about his new contract. Moritz is here to stay !

Can’t see him staying. He’s too good for the Championship. I fear this is the start of a charm campaign by him and his agent to leave on good terms. Also once Saint Peter does the maths he won’t be hanging around long. That's your theory blown out of the water then.

Extending contracts of key players, signing decent players, a new manager placed It sends a message out to the rest that Stoke mean fucking business. I can’t wait for the season ahead

Isn't it just? Honestly if we can keep that back line of: Bauer - BMI - Shawcross - Pieters That should comfortably do well this season, Butland an even bigger bonus if he stays (though I do get the point of getting funds for him and buying a replacement).

Top news.
We need bods like MB around.
Would have been very diferent had he been here for a full season and those that were here took his lead on attitude and commitment.
A genuine candidate for captain.

Indi is the big one now. He's class and if that back 4 stay together for 80% of the games we play in the league then there's absolutely no excuses for not going up*. *Providing the midfield actually protect them.

Must be plenty of non-promotion release clauses going in these contracts you'd think.

Absolutely Bayern. That is a promotion defence there. Well really it should be a comfortable mid table prem defence! Yes if the midfield do there job I see no issues, hopefully things change in that respect under Rowett.

Butland Bauer Shawcross BMI Pieters Etebo Allen Looking quite solid at the moment Afobe up front and players like Bojan, Choupo Moting to get some game time, with possibilities of Ritchie, Gayle and a left midfielder/winger that is looking a pretty decent team I really hope we sign a creative midfielder player, think it's desperately needed myself. If Bojan can show his stuff again, just behind front men that would be ideal.
