Fair move for everyone involved. Cheers for the memories Dicko (notably being the conductor of those celebrations in May 2008).

I don't buy this "not good enough for the prem" business.
What would you have said about Wilko being good enough for the Prem before you saw him get his chance and have time to learn from his mistakes?
Thank you Dicko, and all the best!

Not offical until he has a medical, I expect. But I can't see him failing a medical - he's well hard! ;D

The point is he hasnt been given a chance in the prem, Dicko was much better than Wilko the season we got promoted but Wilko was given time in the prem and has flourished after a mixed start so basing on Dicko being better 2 years ago who's to say that Dicko couldnt have been better in the prem that Wilko given the chance?
Collins shouldnt have been bought and Dicko should have been Higgys understudy phasing him into the team gradually like Pulis did with Wilko under Griffin and then Huth.

I may have this wrong and I'm going back a few years here. But originally, when people were talking about the reserves and the younger players coming through, like Dickinson, Wilkinson, Owen, Denny, Wilson,Keogh, etc. I seem to remember that most people rated Wilkinson as a better prospect than Dickinson, just that Wilkinson went through a run of bad injuries (am I right in thinking he broke his leg at one point?) and kind of dropped down the pecking order.
I like Dickinson, I hope he stays but I'm not sure he can make that step up like Wilkinson has as I think he's always been rated the better player. Weren't they both central defenders originally?

I see where you're coming from. Don't forget that Dickinson is a few years younger as well, it'd have been very interesting if he had been given a chance to prove himself.

Seems very strange to me that a player that has supposed to have signed for another club then goes rafting risking injury?

Funny isn't that in 6 years in charge (even given the break) that a Pulis regime has not yet produced a Full member of the squad from the youth system. We have had youngsters who have flirted with the first team i.e Moult last year. With all due respect TP he should now have a crop of players that should be ready to step up a level if his tenure as Manager has been succesful at youth level.
This is not a pop at him for what he has done in terms of getting us into the top league just an observation of the state of our youth development.

This is not a pop at him for what he has done in terms of getting us into the top league just an observation of the state of our youth development. Things now seem to be changing. Not only do we now have brand spanking new facilities but we have (as Mark Wolstanton has explained several times on here) new coaching staff, a new academy director and we have made big efforts to bring in high class youngsters to replace some of the perceived, lower standard youngsters who we have had at the academy in recent years. Let's face it, the Stoke youth system was pretty poor for years before TP arrived. We lost the best local prospects to other Midland and Lancs clubs and of course, Crewe. From what Mark says that is now changing - and he should know - his own son is the U18 Academy keeper. I think the improved perception of our club was shown last summer when two products of Crewe's academy jumped ship to Stoke for their first pro contracts. The young Belgian International is another player we would not have managed to attract a year or so back.
