GK - Butland RB - Wilkinson CH - Huth CH - Shawcross LB - Pieters MF - N'Zonzi MF - Whelan MF - Shakiri STR - Walters STR - Arnautovic STR - Bojan

For effectiveness, Delap is first on the list.

Not enough goals in any of them I don't personally think!!

Afellay was a Rolls Royce midfielder on his day. Him and Zonz would have been brilliant

Maybe right back hoefkens Hoefkins never played in the Premier League for us so not sure how he's perform That’s right but if you look at the thread title it says best Stoke team of the last 20 years doesn’t say anything about premiership team so maybe you should have put a different title 👍

My God we've struggled for LB & RB for a while now haven't we?
Sorro Bardsley Ryan Faye Peiters Zonzi Whelan Shaq Ireland Arnie Beattie
Think the likes of Bursik, Collins and Souttar could easily surpass and make this team in a few years time.

Do we think that the below team in its pomp could have qualified for the Champions League GK - Butland RB - Wilkinson CH - Huth CH - Shawcross LB - Pieters MF - N'Zonzi MF - Whelan MF - Shakiri STR - Walters STR - Arnautovic STR - Bojan What a bloody team that would be I'd put Johnson at his best for us in at right-back and possibly Delap in for Whelan. Not only for his throw-ins, but imagine the panic they would've caused in the Champions League! I'd consider Faye for Huth too, for that one epic season of Faye's. I think Walters would be needed for roughing up those continental defenders, though he was an excellent player in his own right. Ricardo Fuller is my favourite Stoke player ever, and he would be on the bench at the least. I'm just not sure he'd combine as well with the rest of the forward line. Am I doing him a disservice? GK - Butland RB - Johnson CH - Huth/Faye CH - Shawcross LB - Pieters MF - N'Zonzi MF - Whelan/Delap MF - Shaqiri STR - Walters STR - Arnautovic STR - Bojan I'm still not sure it would've qualified for the Champions League though - we had most of that side under Hughes as it is.

People are really forgetting how good Glen Johnson was for a season.

Are people also forgetting how good Cameron was at right back, I'm sure half way through one season he was nailed on for player of the season there but then got injured and when he came back pretty much stayed in midfield. But it is late and I might be imagining it

Butland and Cameron 😂😂😂
Bego and Sorro were better than Butland, it’s then personal choice from that.
Wilko, Bardo and Johnson’s three months were all much better than Cameron.
Bego
Wilko Shawcross Huth Pieters
Delap Nzonzi
Shaq Bojan Arnie
Fuller
The right back slot is difficult to choose but I couldn’t pick Johnson for those 3 months like I can’t pick Faye for his good season.
