Can't say I'm too excited about this signing. Seems a really weird deal if you ask me. And 1 goal every 11 games in the segunda division which is a worse standard than the championship doesn't inspire confidence. Hope I'm proven wrong but I just don't understand this deal or what he will bring. Strength, hold up play, oh and he's a fucking psycho prone to a good old headbutt. We won't be bullied this season. One year is risk free and hopefully he's back to his best after his injuries. Fair enough. Well Levante did finish 3rd last season and he played 40 odd games so he must have been doing something right. Makes sense that he doesn't score alot if he's more a hold up player that others play off. Don't want to sound negative or write him off before I've seen him. So fingers crossed it works out.

He's the sort who will worry defenders sue to his size and strength. He will create space for those around him. Ty (if he stays), vidigal, Chiq and and Moroccan guy will love it.

Welcome "Big Wes"
If it doesn't work out, no damage done,
If he hit the ground running and scoring, get him signed up quickly on a longer deal.

Calling it now - cult hero. Might not be the best technically but will be sending defenders all over the shop.

Tbf, he won't be the first or last player to get dialed up by Nick Powell's expert shithousery.

We’ve helped villa get rid of a dud in their eyes with little risk other than a 1 year wages.
It’s a good deal for us.
It may mean either brown or Campbell are slated to leave

If he rediscovers some of the form that made Villa buy him we’re in for an unbelievable season.

Good in 'White men can't jump' but I thought he got banged up for not paying his tax.

1 year deal is a little strange for someone his age? Bit of a risk signing? I think we’re being used a bit aren’t we? And that’s fine tbh if it works. And if he doesn’t he sods off after a year. Happy days. Yep. Low risk.

The idea of Campbell having more space due to us having someone that can occupy a couple of defenders is getting me very hard. I'm going to be limp as a wet weekend when we finish 16th.

A very interesting signing. Low risk but also with potential. Welcome to Stoke, Wesley!

Hmm permanent 1 year deal is interesting.. Only just grasped the”permanent” bit. I suppose a good, clever and agreeable deal for both parties. Who knows what the future will hold for both.

Something that has struck me over the last few days is the excitement that the club’s fresh approach to recruitment is generating. If we’d signed a slew of decent, but entirely predictable, Championship players I think there’d be more pressure to hit the ground running. I’m sensing this group will get time to gel and the fans will be right behind them. That will help the manager. Starting to feel optimistic. Reminds me a bit of the Boskamp season when literally all we signed were unknown foreign players. Most fans really enjoyed that season despite us only finishing midtable.
