He went Ipswich on loan in 2009 he was a very young talent when he played for Barca , i think he would be a great addition to the squad but cant see it happening :/

I sa him play a couple of games for the Barca under 19's when he was only 17. He was head and shoulders above anyone else on the pitch and was tipped at the time to be the next Ronaldenhio.
Not really fulfilled his potential as yet however he has looked very good in the world cup. I'd love to see him at ;D Stoke.

On the face of it Dos Santos doesn't look like a TP type player. However, despite being around for a few years he is still a youngster and on the evidence we have seen in the past few weeks, he appears to have improved in the last year. He is also young enough to have plenty of scope for further improvement. Let's face it, he didn't look out of place in a Mexican side containing Hernandez who has just been signed by Man Utd.
So, he looks a gamble worth taking if Spurs want rid of him. The question is, if we assume TP is planning to change the way Stoke play, is he going to change it quickly enough to accomodate flair players like Dos Santos.
A possible way forward would be if Harry has seen enough to make him think that Dos Santos still has potential as a Spurs player and is willing to loan him to a mid table Premier League club for a season or half a season?

Dos Santos is a very good player, but I can't help but think he would be a clone of Tuncay in our side. On paper I would love to see him join, but really can't see it working.

He has looked very good to me and obviously has a good pedigree. Apart from starting at Barcelona and moving to Spurs (where he has been given literally NO opportunity to impress) he has been on loan at Galataseray. He is one of the players of the tournament so far for me (early days I know) but you'd have to guess that the fella could handle the Premier League.
There are a couple of negatives of course. Firstly, we are talking about Stoke and, given the current set up, I doubt a player of his flair and attacking instincts would be accommodated in our midfield. Secondly, he is having a good World Cup and that will inevitable be reflected in any sale price and wage demands and he will have quite a few chasing him if he is made available.
Don't think he's for us at this time but I like the fella and I'm enjoying his performances.
