That Joe Allen in the background? Well it's not Tom Ince because he's running. H

Shit but doesn't make the first two pages of our worst signings over the past 12 years.....and I'm using A3 paper. So not that shit 🤣 As mentioned above, he always gave his best and that will do for me. 132 appearances for our Club says that he was far from a headless chicken. Tom Ince cost more!

I enjoyed having him at Stoke, I prefer hundred per centers than some super talent that puts the effort in when feels like it. 100 per cent of nothing is still nothing. He was ok at best but for five million quid at that time he was an ok squad player and we could've got better for the money. Love you lots

If all the players we signed in the last ten years gave even 50% of what Deano gave in terms of effort we’d still be in the Premier League.
I wouldn’t fancy seeing a team full of Deans but there’s always room for one.

Our best Prem runs came without him. Honest, hardworking, limited squad player.

Which is great, but he cost what was for us at the time a decent chunk of change for him to be a Premier League midfielder and he wasn't as good as what we already had in that position, starting XI wise.

I don't disagree mate. I was just trying to say that he was playing a level above where he should have been really.

He would be a candidate for bench IMO. Versatile, athletic and tough. Limited ball player but more than capable of doing a job. Ideal bench fodder and rarely let us down.

I'd argue he let us down most times he started hence why we always needed Whelan to come back in asap. Whelan would be my bench CM btw. Fonz and Delap starting.

You are boring and a serial moaner you just won't see it You're apparently an adult who replies to posts with 'zzzz' like one of the Bash Street Kids and your opinion is utterly worthless to me, so I think I can pretty safely block you now and not be missing out on anything.

I’m not saying he’d make my bench either but he wouldn’t be far off. I genuinely can’t recall him letting us down. Every game he played he was committed and combative. We’ve got far less value for money from far more exalted players IMO.

There have been much worse players of course but he just never was my cup of tea and he does remind me of Allen in many many ways. Allen is a much better passer obviously but both love giving it away and winnig it again.

None of them were particularly rated by Stoke fans... depends what you mean by exalted I suppose They came with pedigree and no little fanfare. They had played for the heavyweight likes of Real Madrid, Spurs etc and with serious price tags / wages. Dean was a bit like Ronseal. He arrived with a reputation as a grafter who would put in a shift. And he did. Whenever he was called on. The others that I listed had more ability in their little toes than Dean had but they showed zero dedication or commitment.
