Not necessarily a bad thing, but Rowett seems very Pulis-like in his choice of targets.
Everyone we've been linked with so far, you could see being a Pulis type.

Another guy with a very decent record at this level. Assume he would be a lot cheaper than Gray but i am not sure i would prefer him?

More of an obvious partner for Afobe. You can see the boxes he ticks. Probably would only cost about £7-8m too? Not as sexy a target as Gray, but for pragmatists like Rowett and Pulis, you could see it, couldn't you?

Anyway the true Stoke DNA is Matthews, Greenhoff, Conroy, Hudson, Chamberlain, Beagrie, Hoekstra, etc!

Is this thinking that GR is a "semi-skimmed" Pulis generated from Derby fans or general views.?

If GR is a disciple of TP then it is an excellent start to his Stoke career.

He's on the radar of all of our favourite hoofers...
Seriously though, his record in the Championship is good and he's got a decent record in the PL as a second striker alongside a goalscorer.
Many people would turn their noses up at him but digging a bit deeper reveals a different story.

Dont get me wrong i am not adverse at all & he would clearly be an excellent guy to play off for a more mobile striker. I am just loving the idea of adding all this pace at the moment with us having such a lack of it for a couple of years. He would be an excellent addition!

Not that his opinion is particular Gospel but Joey Barton always bangs on about how good he is on Twitter.

We need a target man like Vokes so he’d be a good signing if we could pull it off. As good as a strike force of Adobe and Gray would be Vokes would provide a completely different option.

Vokes does well at this level. He also scored 21 when Burnley went up automatically in 2013/14 (playing alongside Danny Ings who got 26)
Ten Premier League goals the season before last wasn't a bad return either.

Burnley fans (or the ones I know) rate Vokes higher than Gray
I would think Vokes would be a better partner for Afobe as he brings something different to the table (Afobe and Gray very similar)

If we are going to play direct football then vokes is an excellent signing. One year left on his deal so could be available at 4-5 million?

No matter what you thought of his tactics, it's the lack of Pulis type players in the squad that lead to our downfall in my opinion. Too many lazy arses in the squad.
