“We need players with the right attitude” - “Stoke close to signing Nick Powell”. We’ll never fucking learn will we? Ever? Powell is a vas deferens. Fabulous use of coarse English language. |

Wouldn't have a problem with that signing IF he can stay fit.
Huge IF, with his record - a little worrying.

Interesting signing, he's always scored goals.
Attitude and Indiscipline have mostly defined his career so far.
He's been playing first team football for 9 years now and made 170 appearances. Its not alot is it?

Wonder if that's the strikers and No.10s finished with now? (assuming Afobe and Ince are going to actually stay and be used)
No.10s: Powell, Ince (+Verlinden)
Strikers: Vokes, Gregory, Afobe, Campbell?

Can't say that I'm thrilled with that being the situation at 10 - especially if we give Powell a long contract and he doesn't sort his attitude out. Would much rather us look at a youngster from a prem club who will be hungry to make themselves and have Verlinden as back up rather than a pair of hot and cold 10s who flatter to deceive. |

Thought Powell too the p*ss out of us something wicked down here. Put aside whether or not he's got a questionable attitude, he's a quality player

Can Wednesday afford £20k a week I wonder? |

I know a lot are worried about his attitude but I'm certain NJ will have done his due diligence, he's absolutely massive on attitude and them being "great human beings".

Hope we don’t go in for this guy, seems like a backwards step to me and could be a cause of some dressing room disharmony

Well hopefully will finish above 16th for MY Stoke City Jones. Verlinden won't get a sniff sadly. |

If he signs for you good luck to him on his day he’s one of the best players in the league you just need to manage him properly

He's an intelligent player with a few goals in him. It's a good thing Ashley Williams won't still be with us as that meeting might prove frosty.

Will be a fantastic signing.
I've seen him play countless times when at Crewe, he's the best no. 10 we could attract imo.

I’m going to a bit against the grain.... what I’m going do is judge the lad if/when he signs!!
If he signs he comes with a clean slate and at only 25 some of his best years ahead of him.
Some on about his attitude and the potential of causing unrest in the dressing room seem to forget a certain Mr Odemwingie. He was crucified before he kicked a ball for us.... he turned out a bit alright.

I thought he was the best opposition player I saw this season. Absolutely battered and embarrassed Ashley Williams (I know that wasn't difficult but he did it better than anyone). Williams lost his shit because Powell was running rings around him.
Sign him up

I’ll admit here that I don’t know that much about his ability. Rarely seen him play and missed the Wigan game. What I’m hearing is strong, bullies defenders, eye for goal, bit of a character. Like a more gifted version of Walters maybe??
