The mouth waters at the thought of Zigic along side Pericard.

Isn't he just taking that avalanche of dodgy reporting at face value though; the 10m Euro stuff at the end of last week?

Bloody hell, if it's true it is nuts. I will wait until he's on the back page of the Sentinel with a Stoke scarf before getting too carried away though!

I love this post: "Zigic to Stoke City? I don't think he's good enough".

They do seem pretty sure on that msg board thread. I still can't get my head round the idea of us paying 8m for someone!
On a less encouraging note though, an earlier bit of that thread suggests we'll miss out on Kuffour:
It seems Samuel Kuffour (Ghana international) from Roma will be joining Partizan. He offered himself to Partizan, says sports director Ivan Tomic.

Kuffour is one I wouldn't to see here. I don't think he'd be up for the fight.

Anyone translate Turkish ? www.stargazete.com/spor/zigic-e-kaldilar-119079.htmZigic’e kaldılar 7 Ağustos 2008 Perşembe, 03:26SPOR Forvet arayışında listesindeki isimleri birer birer elinden kaçıran Galatasaray, Valencia’nın golcüsü için son kozlarını oynuyor UEFA’YA isim bildirme süresi için kritik saatlere girilirken, Galatasaray Yönetimi golcü arayışlarında kalelerini birer birer yitirdi... Çaldığı her kapıdan yüksek maliyet nedeniyle umduğunu bulamayan Sarı-Kırmızılı yöneticiler şu anda Valencia’da forma giyen Nikola Zigic üzerinde yoğunlaştılar... 2.02’lik golcünün kulübü Valencia, bu futbolcu için 7 milyon euro bonservis bedeli istiyor. Daha önce 4 milyon öneren Aslan rakamı 5’e çıkartsa da henüz olumlu yanıt alamadı. Zigic ise 1.8 milyon euroya ‘Evet’ dedi. Zigic’te de olumlu bir gelişme yaşanmazsa, Cim-Bom eski gözağrısı Kone’ye dönecek... Kone için 7 milyon euroya inen Sevilla’lı yöneticiler de haber bekliyor. Something like this: Galatasaray who are watching the forwards on their wanted list slip through their hands one by one, are placing their hopes on the Valencia forward. As they approach the deadline for naming squads to UEFA, the Galatasaray leadership are destroying castles one by one? The red and yellow’s management, unable to find a solution wherever they turn, due to high prices, are now looking at Valencia’s Zigic. The 2.02 high goalscorer’s club Valencia are looking for a 7m Euro fee, but Galatasaray, who offered 4m, still haven’t heard a positive signal following their increased offer of 5m. Zigic has said yes to 1.8 m Euros. If they can’t get a positive outcome on Zigic they will return to their old ?? Kone, of Seville blah blah

I'm not sure who this dude is but he looks pretty good and has a decent record. Plus his head is at a comfortable height to land the ball on.

Stoke close to confirming deal for giant Serb striker Nikola Zigic By Football Spy 8/08/2008
Stoke City chief executive Tony Scholes jetted out to Valencia last night in a bid to tie up a deal for giant Serbian striker Nikola Zigic.
Scholes had a meeting with the 6ft 7in forward's agent to sort out terms before dashing off to strike a loan deal.
Stoke boss Tony Pulis has been trailing another frontman after landing Dave Kitson from Reading.

It's all yin and yang.

Some people doubting this saying why would Scholes go over when he's coming over here the day after ... to get in first of course. We wouldnt want RK making the short trip over to Sunderland while he's there and nipping in.

I can't see it happening.
This is one player who IS too good for Stoke, but it would be great to have him on PES for us!!
I'm praying for this, but as ever - too good to be true.
I will be holding my sausage hostage to scholsey if he pulls this off!
