As TP once said, surely we can blow Boro out of the water contract wise?
But it could come down to whether he is settled up North but then Bournemouth are sniffing so geographic location may not be an issue but rather premier or Championship footie.
Long way to go on this one yet.
But, get yourself to the Potteries Matt. It makes sense and you know it.

I think this is just b***s*** to be honest, we can't seriously be willing to pay this amount for such a player!!?? What would we have to pay for Redmond at Shampton, who also could be good enough if we are promoted!? £15M for Ritchie!!!!!

He's previously moved from Bournemouth to Newcastle so doesn't seem like big distances bother him. True I just remember seeing an interview with him where he said he loved living in Newcastle. He's not going to say it's bastard freezing and I can't understand a fucking word anyone says is he?

Sentinel headline says “Matt Ritchie is the kind of player we’re looking at.” Actual article says he’s not going to name names in public. So basically he’s not said that “Matt Ritchie is the kind of player we’re looking at” at all. Hate that sort of deliberately misleading shit.

No but tbf, they treated him like a God after his season in the Championship so clearly wasn't saying it for the sake of it.

29?! again, I thought he was younger than that. He's a decent player but for that money?.. he'd do the job though, tricky one. Living in Newcastle will probably mean he'll stay up there anyway, if he can take playing in a TP team. He's previously moved from Bournemouth to Newcastle so doesn't seem like big distances bother him. If you'd rather play in front of 11,000 at Dean Court or whatever it's called these days, than St James's Park there's something wrong with you.

Newcastle are willing to sell him? £15m seems a lot, but he also seems like a top-quality Championship signing.

Interesting piece from the article from Rowett.
"We are working very hard. Tony (Scholes) and Mark (Cartwright) are working very hard to try to get some of the targets we have all agreed upon and ultimately it’s like anything: I want them tomorrow and they want the best deals! We then work together to try to find the middle ground."

He’s been playing at English clubs as a youth player so should be a “home grown” player for the squad Good business if we can persuade him to move here

Fucking hell, we had people moaning that £12 Million was too much for Shaqiri and Berahino but now we're happy to spend £15 Million on Matt Ritchie. Not sure about this one. Good player but no chance of getting our money back. If he gets us promoted it will, Coates are a gambling family

Get him signed up, if he costs 15m so be it.

I'm just genuinely interested where the promised overhaul is? I might be missing something but not a lot seems to have changed. Same people dealing with transfers, obviously same owners, same Youth System. Obviously the manager has changed. ??

What has changed is the speed in which Stoke are acting on transfers. They don't happen overnight however we are clearly not leaving it until the last minute anymore.

Ritchie would be brilliant but you already sense some tension , the CEO says we’ve a new manager he’s never won promotion but that might be because he never had the resources , manager says I want the players but CEO and sidekick want the best deals , wouldn’t take much to drive a wedge through that .

It's going to be the same at most clubs isn't it? If you accept that resources are a factor in him never winning promotion why do you bollock on about it at every opportunity?

Unless.

Unless. Isn't it nothing to do with identifying the players themselves? They were always involved in the negotiating part? That in itself should render chunky Carto obsolete.

It's all a bit prevailing wind and jackanory with Tony and Mark's input into the 'process' isn't it.
The level of their input very much depends on the output.
