Goalkeeper sorted . At least four more coming In. Is this Intel you've had or what you're hoping? Buck knows his stuff to be fair. Calls stuff generally before the club do. 4 sounds ambitious though.....I like it.

He was progressing in the PL, while Bursik has regressed. Age has nothing to do with poor play. No he wasn't he was at Livingston on loan. Was he? Well, that makes Joe's decline look even worse and Sarkic's rise even more enticing. One went from 100k to 2mil evaluation another went from 2mil to 500k in two years. I know who I'd prefer. Age being still a non factor.

I can’t believe you’ve forgotten the time when he told us Pottermus had been down to the waterhole for a drink and a bath that time before the club even knew about it. Very short memories some folk🙄

If we can get two wingers in quite exited to have someone who can beat a player. Burnley’s two wingers are great but not sure we can get to that standard

See, you have to stop shots to develop and increase in value, not depreciate unlike Josef. Novel concept I know for alot of Stoke fans. Sarkic actually does that and more as his value and promise has only increased in the last few years. He might do at 25 yo Bursik is 22yo Bursik. Where was Sarkic at 22? Good job no one listened to some on here and chucked Souttar in the bin at the same age. There were plenty of experts who thought he was shite. At 22 Souttar was a nailed on starter for both Stoke and Australia. He had his big injury a few weeks after turning 23. Whereas Bursik at 22 was a liability, consistently letting in soft goals and costing us points.

I can remember when you could name basically the same Stoke team from one season to the next, with the addition of a few emerging youngsters each year!

The "strikers" in this league always get fought over by multiple clubs to the point that even a nut-job banjo-missing imposter goes for a premium. That unicorn-search has not been good to us. I like the sound of getting a target-man. Someone who can do the unthinkable - handle the ball while keeping a defender at bay & passing it accurately. Might make the front line we have more effective? Until now our managers have recruited like drunks stumbling all over the pottery-shop, swinging a cricket bat hoping to just hit something. Trying to play winger - dependent systems with no wingers and stupid stuff like that.
The good thing about being restricted in our spending? We're restricted on our spending! Protects us from ourselves while we learn what all the fuss is about with this "recruiting lark."
Just think we have other issues to solve before we fight with other teams over the prima donna clearance-bin again.

Matt Phillips at WBA is injured which may impact them letting Grant out on loan.

Random Bristol Rovers fan asking for odds on Clarke-Harris to Stoke. Probably nothing, but they sometimes mean there's some info knocking about

Norwegian-Kosovan winger, right? Edit: Doesn't seem like he played for Kosovo in 2022, so we'll never get a WP.

Surprised this is the type of player AN wants. He's technical, good on the ball, nippy in short distances but not over longer distances where he's also small and weak. Think a championship version of Phil Foden.

Neil also wanted to sign him when he was at Preston.
