Pickering does look a no brainer and for that reason we won't be interested. Exactly this.

I've been a Stoke fan since 1978 & other than CB's who have done well at left back (Hill,Sandford,Higgy) how many genuine good left backs in that time? Tiatto, Griffin Eric was OK but no more really but miles better than some iof the shit we've had Pej before my time have I missed anyone? decent Stoke left backs rare as hens teeth I always thought Steve Parkin looked ok at left back but fairly sure he was a midfielder just covering. Other than that id say Griffin and Erik were the pick of the bunch since the early 80s (converted Centre halves excluded)

It really is a no brainer. You do get the feel that there is a lot more common sense going into our transfer dealings since O'Neill came in. Hope we get this one done

Nixon was on radio Stoke this week saying he thinks we are still interested in Sam Cosgrove.

Hope we get this one done The player scouting and common sense on what we need is amazing. We still lack the financial end of getting them into amazing deals for us but with our mgmt over the past decade in that area is that really surprising?

And Gregory isn’t much good. pretty similar players, don't really offer anything but pace. You're right though, gun to my head I go with Gregory.

We’ve not unearthed an actual off the radar gem in forever. Look at Brentford for amazing but not us
