His reputation is such, that I’m prepared to give him up to 7 1/2 minutes to entirely prove his worth and cement his place

True. I’ll give him the wanker sign as he’s warming up, get him acclimated quicker. I'll be on the car park awaiting his arrival.

This is without any doubt the best ever transfer window for Stoke. We've shifted some old, eye wateringly expensive deadwood and replaced them with young ambitious superior footballers. I have to say I just never believed Stoke were capable of this type of business. Credit where it's due, well done Stoke.

Other clubs will be looking at us thinking we mean business. It feels like if we’re going to make a decent fist of it, it’s going to be this season.

I've been a bit up and down on this one. I was excited at first based on his reputation when we were previously interested, but looking into him in more detail made me worried that he was another Ryan Woods who didn't seem to address any specific problem in the side.
However, I think a comment from O'Neill on Tuesday night made more sense. He said that the 'two number eights' had performed well having been poor against Birmingham, so I imagine that's how he sees his midfield trio. It seems to be this weird thing with modern three man midfields where the attacking version is one Whelan with two N'Zonzis ahead of him, rather than the more traditional balanced midfield of an N'Zonzi, a Whelan and a Bojan.
That means he now has a stable of Powell, Vrancic, Sawyers and Clucas vying for the two number eight positions. Bring in one more defensive midfielder to compete* with Allen and we're set.
*I'd like replace, but I'm realistic

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? Probably not, wrights weren't doing the in house catering then so he didn't miss out on anything really.

he looks a bit over weight I wonder if he’s been on the bacon and cheese oatcakes or indeed he’s ever tried them. It’s a question we should actually ask him as I don’t think a new signing has been asked before. Either way what a cracking signing. What a great transfer window we are having!

Class signing this, completely risk free on loan.
Just another RB, DM and a loan striker and we’ll be an absolute problem this season.

We've now got 6 first team midfielders (one who is the captain) competing for 3 places , there's not a cat in hells chance we'll sign another. DM : Allen / Thompson Central Mid : Sawyers / Clucas Attacking Mid : Powell / Vrancic

I haven’t bothered reading this whole thread but my first reaction was: yeah, but he got relegated with West Brom, and then, why are West Brom loaning him to a possible promotion rival? But, enough with the negative vibes: the squad is looking good, it’s gelling on the pitch, and above all, it’s fucking great to be going to footie games again!
