Odd one. Is he injured or just doesn't fancy it anymore? I’d love to be able to finish my footballing career at a local club, probably being the best player there whilst living the life, wouldn’t you? Probably just wants a family life now he’s made his money and who can blame him

And Souttar, why do people forget Souttar? I'll be amazed if he becomes a regular at this level. Are you amazed?

Excellent signing for us. Good at centre back and right back. Better than Ince on the right flank.

Probably just wants a family life now he’s made his money and who can blame him One of our all time legends is playing for Hanley Town. Why shouldn't Ryan opt to play for Leek Town. As a Stoke on Trent lad he has achieved more than most footballers from our area. He is entitled to enjoy his early retirement and I wish him all the best in his new life back home.

Probably just wants a family life now he’s made his money and who can blame him Don't blame him at all, his choice just seems bit of a drastic drop down the levels. From a location point of view having the Black Lion it's no distance for him to go either. For a local lad I always felt fans didn't care about him compared to others and were quicker on his back.

His father in law runs it, shut until the 7th Nov. due to a staff member contracting the "Chinese virus", Ryan is a decent lad now he's grown up, lovely village pub, beautiful location decent food and far enough away from Stoke-on-Trent

That's beside the point, he still should be mentioned when listing our current crop of CBs for next season. We can dispose of two of them and there still wouldn't be room for another ageing 31 year old. We're not going to be pushing for promotion with players like Souttar anywhere near the starting XI, I'm afraid. I can see another loan for him, and he'd need to stand out. I've watched him 3 times, all recent, and he's been one of the weaker of all of the CHs on display during those games. I can see us shedding Chester, BMI, and I can see Ryan hanging up his boots before long. That leaves us with Batth, Collins, & Lindsay. So we need to get shopping. I wouldn't take Shotton, due to age, but I'd hazard a guess that today, he is probably as good as, if not better than, any of the current CHs we'll be left with, and would be an adequate option for RB. If the choice was take Shotton, or take Chester, I'd go with Shotton, all day long. Your Souttar prediction was a little off

Can’t believe so many would have been happy with Shotton.
I actually liked him when he was with us and he’s a perfectly ok defender at this level. But that’s just not what we needed.

I'll ask his mum if I see her walking her dog over the weekend (she lives a few streets away) what he's planning, It might just be a stop gap situation to keep up his fitness levels until a better offer comes along. Either way good luck Shotts. Gouranga.

It's appeared on NPL transfers this morning. That's incredible. I'm amazed they have made no announcement about it. Nothing on their twitter. Apologies for doubting your story, what a great signing.

He must be on a pittance there. I wouldn't have him at Stoke, but you have to wonder how he didn't end up somewhere better. Also have to wonder if he'd have ever made it as a decent right back if he was trained there and not thrown onto the wing/up front under Pulis.
