david batty, there was an article in the sun rag in the week, and it said he was on £20,000 a week.
shame really he would have done a good job for us although he may have also not helped our disciplinary record!

I'd want more than that for 20,000 a week.

But I think part of his isue with Eddie Gray is that he refuses to go out on loan so he wouldn't come.

so he'll sit on his arse and do nothing for £20,000 a week, no committment eh!
i've changed my mind i don't want him at stoke.
going to bed in a minute got an early start to stoke in the morning.

Yes. He won't get a game at Leeds so even bearing mind he like money he can't be short of a bob or two. Surely he'd be better going out on loan somehere. Still, if its a mistake, its a mistake he's fully entitled to make.

Have Stoke seriously lost their marbles here? I presume this is a wind up... From what I've seen of Jay Denny or Wayne Teague have far more to offer than Batty. Let alone Lewis Neal or Karl Henry.
Batty is old, slow and well past it.
Dear oh dear if that is true.

My thoughts too Spiderpuss. It might not have been him though. Some players are on strange contracts. We might never know who it was. That might be for the best as well!

My beef now is Joe is that we don't need any more Mark Williams or Paul Warhurst types. We have propelled ourselves out of the danger zone and can now shop carefully for next season (J Halls being an ideal example of this). I do not want see anymore tired journeymen visiting the Brit and ending up wearing red and white.
Sure this season is nearing a close, but after last season that is a nice relief.
Batty-- No. I'm with you on this one.

Now we are reaching stability we should try to be a bit more ambitious with signings. I know Michael Owen won't be coming but players with a bit more pedigree. And some exciting younger prospects too.
If this season is a time of mid table obscurity its a relief. After the balls aching pressure to get promoted then last seasons painful relegation struggle a bit of quiet consolidation is whats required. We can enjoy games for their own sake for now without each point dropped being a calamity.

matt elliot would be better than batty, he could bring some stability to our defence, and by gum we need it.
I was only saying david batty because i know he is on 20,000 a week it was just an educated guess.

heard from someone who works (real) close to the ground that keown was seen down at the brit
Only passing on what I heard, not sure on the reliability of this source or anything.
would make sense, looking for an experienced defender

Tubes,
No offence but I tend not to believe 'seen at the ground' rumours. In the past everyone from Ghandi to Screaming Lord Sutch has been seen down at The Brit in recent seasons

I know a lad who actually looks like Keown name Paul Slack (poor lad) it was probably him seen through some poor sods very thick glasses and if Batty's on twenty grand what's Keown on.

I cant see it being batty,
someone put it to rudgey on the phone in on Friday night, and he said he was a good player, but i dont think his legs are as quick as they were!

All I was saying was that Keown would make sense, since he's a player similar to GT, no nonsense experienced head at the back. |

I heard that the two players were Elliot and Batty, although i'm not sure which one is on £20,000 a week.

Try using one of the CM games, they're usually pretty accurate

I read a article, accompanied by a picture, that david batty was seen watching hull when Leeds were playin, and the article was just giving an example of why leeds are in debt! They said he was on 40k a week though! Mite have been another player!
