Is he realistically in our range? No transfer fee might help a bit... £30k/week over 3 years is like if we'd paid a £4.7m fee I think. Half a Sam Vokes ! Please think of other people. Some of us are still trying to get over it.

'Course, he may be enjoying his football here and who knows, maybe forging some friendships within our new found camaraderie. Maybe a few of the loanees are feeling some positive vibes. I feel that AN like Tone probably knows how to get the right personality mix in and in turn, some of those players who've been outcasts in previous teams or simply not found a good fit elsewhere may want to be a part of a team revolution that's ambitious to succeed where others failed. This is what I'm hoping for anyway. Our major problem over the last few seasons has been our lack of team spirit/effort from all parties and general apathy and disillusionment from both team and supporters. That does appear to be drifting way. We all need a new dawn and that goes for some of the loan players. New team slogan...Let's make Stoke City great again! GOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN STOKE! Go get 'em Alex!

Let's make Stoke City great again! Please do not ever say that again. We are still trying to get past those 4 years and living with the nightmare it could happen again.

He’d be ridiculous at this level permanently.
He’ll go to a lower half prem team or abroad.

I always assumed we knew about Axel’s situation when he joined us and were offering him a more permanent route forwards.
Whether he accepted us is another matter.

We shouldn’t be offering him anything over 5/10k a week.

Whoever signs him would be lucky to get 15 games a season out of him - that’s no way to build consistency. He’ll either go to a premier league team who can afford the risk on his wages or a champion team with a large pay as you play contract

Could it be that as per rumours this week he is on the way to Middlesbrough so Neil has said, "You are not going to get match fit here if that's the case, I'd rather do without you now as I'm trying to build a team for next year and Jagielka and Celina would like to be here next season," ?

I just don't understand how he, can get injured when he hasn't played for two weeks.

Back injuries rarely recover 100%.
He will never string a long run of games together, I actually surprised he’s played as many minutes as he has.
Shame as he’s a fantastic footballer

Got the feeling from his interview when he arrived here - that he saw his future here. If he has got back problems then I don't think many will come in for him, certainly not prem teams - therefore we might get him on the cheap and might be worth the risk - we are massively short in numbers and quality in that area - got Stoke written all over it though

If we do sign him then, even if Jags signs again, we will need another CB to come in Presume Stoke will revisit the Cresswell deal?

Good as Jags has been I would not extend his deal regardless of what happens with Tuanzebe.
We can't let sentiment rule our summer business.
We need two new CBs.
