Jeez another 'I spoke to a player in a bar...........' and he said...well he said just a summary of posts from this messageboard. Why would Shawcross agent be negotiating for either the club or a player who he is not an agent for. Bangs my head against the wall for reading such dross Its true that hardly any of these "inside track" stories ESPECIALLY FROM NEW POSTERS have any substance and are just wind ups...but the point about the agent actually ADDS some credibility to this one. Its not something you would think to make up is it because at first glance it doesn't make sense but Agents do act for players and clubs and it is conceivable that Stoke are using Shawcross's agent to broker a deal. BM That's a good point Mick. To tell you the truth I live in Nantwich and Shawcross is out here all the time, he's very approachable. I suspect webby is probably telling the truth here.

Stoke often use other players agents to tie up big deals....there was 5 or 6 agents trying to tie up a deal in the summer....2 agents joined the "help" at around half 11, juts after their players signed for stoke

With the exception of the 'I saw Wayne Thomas but couldn't be arsed to speak to him' genre and the ones about cars, I love all threads like this, even if they're not true.
Hate to think how much of my time on earth has been spent reading them

Ok webby you sound a decent bloke.....i think I have just had an overdose of complete shite on this board about players about to sign....as an exile this board is one of the few links I have to keep in touch. In the past it has been ok with the odd garbage being posted....but since we got to the prem...seems that every man and his dog have an 'inside' track into what is going on at Stoke and I wish those bogus threads would stop and we can get back to the board being a more mature forum for discussing my beloved potters

in support of webby shawcross is definitely in nantwich quite a bit, i spoke to him in the boot on christmas eve, Re the agents not only do agents get involved to help football clubs do deals, foreign players will often get either an english agent when they move here, or take on an english agent as an advisor to help represent them here.

I'm just hop[ing for the best, and waiting to see what transpires. Another week before the next game, so lots of time yet. Who'd have thought a point yesterday, so early sigining or not, we are able to play against the best and get something. This month might not be the disaster some have predicted.

sound bloke got a lot of time for his fans. asked him about beattie and he said it was just a formalitty, will be signed by tuesday. asked about ledley and he thinks there is very little chance of us signing him this year, major disappointment . i asked him about other signings and he said HIS agent was out in france sorting out a definate deal. when i asked if it was it dindane he said and i quote"im not supposed to be talking about this" (as he smiled). He also said there was a couple more deals on the horizon but even he does not know who they are. i swear on my life this is all true. he also said ab faye is an absolute inspiration. i suppose that goes without saying. watch this space boys!!!!!!! GOOOOOAAAAAARNNNN STOKE!!!! Photo? If not, I dont believe you SGS

Shawcross is always in nantwhich. I know webby and he is not lying.
We should be congratulating young ryan as he is to become a dad in 5 months

If what webby says is true (and there is no reason to doubt him), is it possible Shawcross may well be in bother for saying these things as I know that people from Stoke come on here daily and read the threads??

If we get this guy Dindane,afterseeeing him on Youtube,he will make Fuller redundant. He does look pretty spectacular on youtube. But, then again,you can make (almost) anyone look like Diego Maradona with a very carefully selected sample of highlights, and a throbbing dance track in the background. And most of that action was in the sub-standard Belgian league when he was at Anderlecht, and before he spent 9 months out with a very serious injury which could well have had an impact on him. Even if, long-term, he could get back to that level, you'd think it'd take a long time for it to happen. And can we afford that with 17 cup finals to come in the next 4 months? I really can't see Pulis committing to a multi-million pound deal for a 28-year-old foreign-based player with no experience of English football ,who has played half an hour in the last 9 months. It would certainly be most un-Pulis-like behaviour.
