Whoopee do? Who were expecting, Antoine Griezmann? That's exactly the type of player we should be going for. Our owner is the richest man in the world and there are no other factors other than money involved when signing players, none at all. This transfer window just shows the complete lack of ambition we have as a club and is the main reason that I'm not attending again until the club has been dissolved and reformed as Stoke On Trent City Potters AFC, starts from scratch at the bottom of the league pyramid, knocks down the stadium and rebuilds one in the exact same spot and to the exact specifications as the Victoria Ground, changes the badge back to a staggeringly intricate and difficult to reproduce coat of arms, and reanimates the corpse of Sir Stanley Matthews to play on the wing in some kind of desperate macabre attempt to hark back to those halcyon days that never really existed as you remember them. Scholes Out! I have it on good authority, that Coates IS actually trying to gather DNA from Stanley Matthews relatives in the hope of trying to clone him for the future of stoke city (self sufficiency) It's the only bit of ITK info I've ever had ..... you heard it here first.

I listened to it last night. He comes across very well and really wanted to come here. When he's fit he'll be a cracking signing.

So likely to be into October before he is ready for his debut in a Stoke shirt then.

He looks about 16 in that pic. Or is it just me being a daft old bugger again?

He's not injured really, he's just too ginger for summer.

Does anyone know if Clucas is training with the main group yet?
Guess he'll have to effectively do a pre-season once he is then perhaps play a couple of say U23 matches to get match sharp.

When he signed it was stated he was 1 week away from starting full training and a month away from being available.

Last update from Rowett was expected to be back in with the main group after the international break So start of October for involvement maybe?

When he signed it was stated he was 1 week away from starting full training and a month away from being available. Yes I saw that and took it be complete tosh. He hasn't played football for over 4 months so he will surely need at least the 4 to 6 weeks getting fit time that the rest of the squad need after a 2 month summer break. After that he surely won't be match sharp so will need a practice game or two. Then factor in that he has had major knee surgery so he will surely need to ease his way in even to the training. And all this assumes there are no setbacks, which lets face it, is often the case with knee surgery. NB Just seen FullerMagic's post above, so the 1 week to starting training has already become 3 weeks!

Still think we won’t see him until January 2019.

Any chance of being fit after the international break?

I was hoping he’d be in for the u23 game tomorrow. Shame he’s not, was looking forward to watching him play.

In the keeper one why do they practice punching when the balls are easy catches?

Maybe able to deliver a decent cross, which is something we don't see too often!?
