BREAKING NEWS: SHAWCROSS STAYS AT STOKE
Be the first reader to comment on this story
10:36 - 20 December 2007
Ryan Shawcross is a Stoke player until the end of the season after Sir Alex Ferguson today gave his blessing for the young Manchester United to remain at the Britannia Stadium.And Stoke are trying to ensure the loan deal will extend to the end of May to include the play-offs.
"I can't tell you how delighted I am to have this news," said Stoke boss Tony Pulis today.
"Everyone has seen for themselves what a fantastic contribution big Ryan has made to our season so far.
"He has been one hell of a bonus because you never know for sure with a young and untried player what you are going to get, even though we were pretty sure about his potential.
"He has improved enormously since being here - and I'm certain he will carry on improving.
"I must say how grateful we are to Manchester United, and obviously Sir Alex in particular, for helping us out once again.
"Ryan has loved it here, not least because everyone has made him feel so welcome.
"Now we just hope he plays as well in the second half of the season as he has in the first."
Ferguson's decision is also a vote of confidence in both Stoke's present success and the club's ability to carry on improving Shawcross for the remainder of the season.
The 20-year-old centre-half, who has missed just one game through suspension this season, is out of contract in the summer when his long-term future must be decided by Ferguson.

Fantastic news! It just keeps on coming!
Stoke getting things organised well ahead of time & not waiting until the last minute? Maybe Scholes was telling the truth and those harsh lessons have been learnt after all!
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

How can it be? Fuller is our main Asset and OUR player for a further 3 and a half years where as Ryan is only on loan until the end of the season and is NOT our player YET.
Amazing news though but as good as the Fuller deal IMO.
