Never in a million years would I have expected us to sign him this season.
Genuine class.

Speaks very well. Could turn out to be a very good signing.

Yes - just lost his way a bit but class is permanent. Although I’d bet some have already judged him - and not in a positive way. Not fully match fit but give him a few games (I know patience is anathema to a lot on here) and he’ll be flying.

salarysport.com/This is the site that details players earnings. It is last seasons figures so the likes of Shawcross & Wimmer feature. Even lists players from the highest club earners to the young lads who are on less than a grand a month. Interesting to have a flick through, it amazed me Powell was on considerably less than Shawcross for eg. I'd be very surprised if the General Data Protection Regulation allowed this information to be released regarding individuals. There are probably a few posters on here who can give a clearer insight.

I thought the story was that Francis got as far as eating some of the sausage rolls before deciding to go to Norwich instead? People went so far as to blame Moxey/Scholes for the low quality buffet that cost us Pulis's number one midfield target. I thought they entertained his family at a match and he had the contract in front of him and Rudgey had to go and find a pen and whilst out he had a phone call and left for Norwich. So did he have a sausage roll or not?

GDPR states that you cannot release information in the public domain without consent from the person whose information you are sharing. It is feasible that the contracts allow this, but unlikely so this site is on thin ground of flouting the rules. It has to be brought to task by someone first so until that happens it will remain in force

Really happy with this signing.
Every time I've seen him he's totally bossed the game, he seems a decent character too.
Excellent piece of business.

Very surprised West Brom have loaned him to us. I know he struggled last season but he was immense the season they went up and that was very recently. Are they that sure they are nailed on for promotion, Stoke are not serious contenders, Sawyers is a head ache for them and they just want rid. Whichever I'm delighted. If this season is a failure I hope we don't all blame Mon. I can see what he is trying to build, and with little cash he is b ringing in some class. Goooooooooooooonn STOKE

Our signing of the Summer Not sure about that, there looks to be some good competition for that title this season. In saying that though who'd have thought t the end of last season we'd have Powell,Vrancic and Sawyers available to select for a central midfield role. We've got depth, good depth

Goooooooooooooonn STOKE I don't think he fits their managers style which seems frantic high press rather than a controlled precision passing game which appears to be Sawyer's game. Not sure which will bring success but looking forward to see how we shape up with him in the team.

Fair point but he honestly reminded me of Zonz when he first started running the length of the pitch with the ball , 2 season s in maybe. I didn't see a lot of him mind but I thought he was class

I didn't see a lot of him mind but I thought he was class Yes I agree but that's my point - I don't think their manager wants players who run with the ball - he wants players to press high and harass players into losing possession - not attack by retaining possession. Different approach - and Sawyers doesn't fit that style of play. It's interesting that it would appear that is what we do.

Stoke-on-Trent has always been at the forefront of technology. When I worked in IT I worked with a guy who'd first learned to program at North Staffs Poly on an old LEO, believed to be the last one still operating. You can smile. My first computer training was at the old Wolverhampton Polytechnic, using a binary computer and Fortran programming! FORTRAN - those were the days. Programming using punched cards and output on ticker tape or teleprinters. One programme I wrote, it took a computer the size of a house several days to work out. That programme is done now in a split second on a modern laptop
