If its true that Scholes has gone over to try and sort it out asap then its good work by Stoke as it minimises any chances of anyone else coming in for him. For all we know he could of agreed the deal last night and Zigic could be getting ready to fly back with Scholes today and be unveiled tonight on the pitch ala Lee Hendrie. Or am i just getting a bit carried away

Thinking about it, as i'm only a short chap at 5ft 4" I could probably suck him off stood up. Haha.
I won't though, unless he scored the winner against Utd on boxing day.

From SPORTING LIFE
Stoke City are reportedly trying to tie up a season-long loan for £10million-rated Serbia striker Nikola Zigic.
Zigic has been linked with the Potters for a number of weeks now and there were reports in the Spanish media they Valencia had accepted an offer of 12million Euros from the Premier League new boys.
City boss Tony Pulis played down the reports but rumours of his interest in Zigic have refused to go away and the Daily Mirror now claims they are trying to seal a deal.
Reports in the Spanish press claim talks will be held regarding Zigic on Friday, but they suggest a permanent deal is still the preferred option for Valencia in order to fund a move for Louis Saha.
Zigic was reported to have turned down a loan move to Portsmouth in January and has been linked with the likes of Aston Villa and Sunderland from the Premier League this summer.
Stoke appear to be leading the chase, though, and will hope to conclude a deal as quickly as possible to ward off possible interest from overseas.
Zigic joined Valencia for 15million Euros from Racing Santander last summer, the 27-year-old hitting seven in 14 games to add to the 19 in 32 he notched for Santander.
His record at Red Star Belgrade was 71 in just 110 games, while he has 11 in 29 appearances for Serbia. His capture would represent a major coup for Stoke, who have already added to their frontline with £5.5million signing Dave Kitson.

ON LOAN WITH A VIEW TO BUY
Stoke still favourites to sign Valencia's Zigic Friday 08 August 2008 - 11:40:15 - Click to post or view
Last week it was (wrongly) reported that Nikola Zigic had made his mind up to join Stoke after turning down a move to Turkish giants Galatasary because his desire was to move to the Premiership.
It is being reported from Spain that his agent is coming to England today to discuss a possible move, but he doesn't say which club is interested.
Other than Stoke, who are still thought to be favourites according to most reports today, Sunderland are also interested in the massive striker.
Valencia's Sports director Fernando Gomez said: "We are waiting to know the details and will decide afterwards."
It is thought that Stoke are looking for a loan deal with an option to buy, but Valencia would like a straight cash sale.

Zigic has already basically slagged us off to all the media who would listen hasn't he though?

If stoke do pull this off (a) on loan, very good business getting a top striker without paying mega money. (b) paying £7m+ shows a massive intent by our club and no matter what happens during the season, all credit goes to all the club for giving it a good go.
