We unexpectedly make the premier league and some on here expect us to compete for top players. By all accounts it's Pulis who's the one going for unattainable players and expecting them to want to join the club for the love of stoke city, back in the real world top players sign for money, because in the premiership money talks, and bullshit walks ;D

I can understand KevKJ's rant, he has made some good point. But we went up yes, every team that goes up from the Champ has to strengthen, it's damn well imperative. Zigic was beyond our means, come on. A bunch of good Champ players would have been excellent, Larsson, Ledley etc. Yeah I want to enjoy this season, but I want to enjoy it for more than one season, thats not too much to ask is it?

And guys put it this way, would you be happy should (God forbid) one of Kits or Fuller suffers an injury and there before you warming up is one...Vincent Pericard?

Zigic wasn't out of our league - look how close we came to getting him before Pulis bottled it and wanted to try before you buy.
We all want whats best for Stoke and folk are having a moan because we can see that the squad quite clearly isn't good enough.
We have had 3 months to strengthen and at present have the same defence which conceeded the most in the Championship 2nd only to Scunthorpe.
We can't recall upon other squad players such as Riggot, Zakuani, Pearson, Ameobi, Gallagher, Bothroyd as we could last season.
At present we less numbers in the squad than we did last year so injuries and suspensions and those not considerd good enough to play against Barnsley, Scunthopre etc will be turning out in the Premiership.
So at present barring a mircale we will be in for a desperate season and it won't be much fun getting beat each week and ridiculed in the media

Everyone connected with Stoke City wants the same things.
The days of finalising your squad in the close season are long gone. Most Premier League clubs have not finished their dealing yet. Some haven't even started.
There will be a lot of activity throughout the league in the next 3 weeks, with the busiest day being the last day.
