How are we gonna keep Souttar

[maninasuitcase]

Cool, calm and commanding.
He is just phenomenal for us and was magnificent tonght.
I just hope we go up so we can keep hold of him.

[thepottypotter]

I am more worried about us losing MON if we don’t go up in the next couple of seasons.

[stokiejoe]

Only by getting promoted

[eddy]

That lad is headed to the Prem without doubt. The only way to keep him is for us to get up there with him

[Bojan Mackey]

If we don’t go up this season he’s gone.

End of.

[telfordstokie]

Was really good last year but has massively gone up a level this year for me. Could easily make it in the Premier League.

[Fred Merger]

Looked superb even having to play with Chester by his side.🤣

[foxysgloves]

He’s on a different level.

Phenomenon.

[pearo]

If he carries on with this level of performance he’ll be a target for many clubs in January, man mountain

We wont

[Deleted]

Just hope when he goes, it’s considerably more than we got for Collins.

[Tosh]

Burnley bought the wrong defender, so glad we kept hold of Harry! Best defenfer in the league by a country mile.

[pieofpeter]

My biggest fear allways was keeping him in the winter window. I could see teams from Germany and Italy come In for him as well as the teams in the prem.

[march4]

We will keep Souttar by being promoted.

Same goes for Campbell.

[wuzza]

I can’t see the circumstances the club will want to sell him and I don’t think the player will be over anxious to move to anything but a top level PL team right now so I think all is good at least for this season.

Thought Chester's performance tonight surprised many people, especially those who slag him off BEFORE he's played

[lordb]

Stoke need to plan
If promoted we should keep him
If not promoted should expect big bids for him, get top dollar for him and ensure we already know who we want him to replace him
Bit like we did with Collins and Wilmot

Forrest and Taylor are very good prospects too but see them replacing Batth and Chester

[gingerninja]

Chester didn't put a foot wrong tonight. I wasn't impressed when I say his name on the team sheet, but fair play he did a great job.

Chester played a blinder tonight. Best I have seen him play for Stoke.

Everton enquired on deadline day.

[dirtygary69]

All the back 3 were superb tonight. Souttar is honestly one of the best players we will see.

[pb1863]

His distribution along with his defending is outstanding for club and country.

Attention this vehicle is reversing! Beep, Beep.

In fact it's reversed that far its back in the factory being made.

[davejohnno1]

He is strolling through the games this season.

Imperious!

[mickstupp]

Colossus. There’s far more depth in the squad this year but he’s the one player we simply wouldn’t be able to cope without. He’s the best player in the division.

[shrewspotter]

There’s a real positivity amd belief running right through the team right now, O’Neil has to be given credit for this, but Harry Souttar is immense. Reminds me of Vince Overson who I had a huge man crush on

Bold statement mate, but I haven't seen a better centre half yet, to be honest.
You're right in saying that he is our rock though and he is in superb form.

I liked the look of that Ajayi (tall lad at the back) for them tonight, he looked decent.

[kerouac]

Ive said it before and ill say it again,hes better than Shawcross.......best central defender we've had in many a year.

He's probably our key player. Campbell coming back and finding form is a game-changer, but we've shown we're contenders without Campbell albeit we make scoring hard work. Losing Souttar though would hurt a lot. But I think "we wouldn't be able to cope" is extremely hyperbolic. We wouldn't be able to cope if, by losing Souttar we were forced to play the rest of the season with 10 men. But we'd still be a top 12 (probably top 10) team without him and with someone else going into the middle. With him (and Campbell coming back) we might be in contention for automatic.

He’s absolutely pivotal. It’s not just his defending either. Danny Baath could come in and head things away all day long but he can’t use the ball anywhere near as well as H.
