Is the Burger King on his way back then? “I don’t know much about the player in question,” O’Neill said when asked about Smith. “I think we have to be mindful that, at this minute in time, the centre back position is not a position where we are low on number. “We have a number of centre backs at the club and we also have a centre back returning from a loan spell in Kevin Wimmer. I should fucking hope not. Sentinel |

Not low on number but really low on quality, not saying Smith is the right man but I'd hope we'd make some improvement on it soon as we can.

I'd be going Smith - Collins - Shawcross - Bruno (?) I guess, Tymon if MON thinks he's ready to jump in but ideally I'd be getting a decent LB in as well. Lindsay and Batth damn near give me a heart attack at the back. Improvements required. |

What a mouth watering choice!
A Vale player or Kevin Wimmer?

I don't think Collins is ready tbh and I'm not sure we're in a position to find out either, Shawcross is too much of a risk with him breaking down more often and not and the other options really are a bit meh, I'd go with Chester and Lindsay, not a popular option I know but its the best of a bad/inexperience bunch for me. |

Maybe a Vale player but isn't Smith meant to be a Stoke fan? Swear I heard that a few years ago when he was first linked with us... could be wrong.

We were also linked with this Irish Sunderland defender a couple of days ago, his contract is up and the player is up for grabs. I think it was a player who had been in MON's international squad as well?  |

I’d have McNair here though I think he is better as a def mid than a CD |

I genuinely thought McNair was in his 30s.
Seems like hes been around forever.

The72 link's him to usSomething tells it's more of a article filler more than anything. He turned down 2 champo offers before joining Sunderland, whether one was us, who knows. |

This because of age, height and wages in my opinion. Flanagan seems capable of slotting in at fullback too if needed, so clearly a better option than Chester. Must admit I don't rate Chester very much after what I've seen so far though. |

Must admit I don't rate Chester very much after what I've seen so far though.  The defence as a whole needs a restructure. I said to boskamp yesterday I'd have Collins starting personally. He didn't think so but that's the beauty of football, everyone has their own opinion on their squad. I'd be starting Smith (or if the insistence on a Pulis back 4 continues, Chester). Then Collins - Shawcross (fitness permitting) - Bruno (Tymon if MON thinks it'll work) No doubting we need a rejig. I don't like Batth or Lindsay either. Lindsay may well be young enough though where there is at least a possibility of MON turning him into a better defender. Ideally I'd have new players in every position at the back  . If Edwards gets back into the frame then RB won't be a priority for MON I reckon, CB Collins is promising, not forgetting big Souttar coming back from good form for Fleetwood. Wimmer is back but he'll be stuffing his fat face and I want him nowhere near. No clean slate, fuck him off. The summer window or whatever transfer window we have is going to be huge for Stoke, regardless of if we're in this league or League 1. |

I like Batth, so for me it's Shawcross and Batth as the preferred pairing. If not Collins with one of the two mentioned. I'd certainly play Smith at right back as he is without doubt our best alternative right now, but I'd try something else than Indi at left back.  |
