Very encouraging from Nixon chat, he thinks we've had amongst the best windows in Champ, says it might take a while to bed in and click but that he's confident we'll be looking back on the window as being a very impressive one

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0g6z7lt33:30 Nixon on Radio Stoke suggesting in passing "there's a vacancy, who knows, maybe even 2?" for free agents. Claimed, pre-Clark "who they've been talking to for quite a while and has been top of Stoke's list, on and off, for a couple of weeks. There had been others - Batth was getting a mention and I think they explored Ayala, who I understand would be pretty expensive in terms of wages" Slightly concerning there was ever a conversation around Danny Batth. Presumably upon mention of his name Alex Neil and Jared sent them for a right good seeing to from Pete.

I would rather have Baath than Clark / Jones etc.

Just seen a link saying we are interested in a USA international, Reggie Cannon who is a defender, but we face a lot if competition for him. Also note he is a right sided defender though.

Perhaps it was less that we couldn’t afford him and more than we didn’t want to afford him. Just because someone is willing to pay more for a player than us, it doesn’t always mean that they are in a better financial place or have more means than us. They may simply have greater need/value him more.

Batth has been solid for everyone he's played for apart from us. Like a lot of players sadly. He was a good defender for us. Unfortunately the emphasis that MON placed on playing out from the back just wasn't his game

This could well be a new member of staff? Or anyone for that matter.
It's not Clark, is it?

Sparrow like calves for a pro-footballer you'd think, tho? One Sparrow out and another one in? He inner very tall. Look at the size of his feet compared to his height. If he was 6’4” his feet would be size 18’s.
