I knew they'd been in the shit but that's still a big shock. One of the bigger clubs in France.

Don't discuss Bham City on this thread mate, 🍔 will be all over you saying it Stinks of hypocrisy!! Sure I never said we shouldn't discuss Birmingham City and never mentioned hypocrisy. I don't think jealousy is a good trait in football or life. Isn't that half the problem with modern people no one wants to be ordinary?? Birmingham City 8-man transfer spree is final straw for Stoke & Championship Interestingly Pete Smiths article discusses up on my link to the Birmingham spending ability over that of ourselves. Certainly isn't a case of being jealous, but merely highlighting how farcical the spending legislations are proving to be between those that have and those that haven't, & being totally wrong in how it can be navigated & manipulated by teams exploiting how the rules & restrictions aren't fit for purpose. www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-financial-fair-play-9436665#ICID=Android_StokeSentinelNewApp_AppShare

I think I'm right in saying Harry Souttar was our best player when he left. Have we really improved so much that we shouldn't bother now? He can certainly play out from the back. IMHO for his build his heading both defensively and at set pieces wasn’t his best asset

McBurnie to Las Palmas (previous Leeds link was wrong) so thats another striker we can tick off
Also noticed McNair has wound up at west Brom. Fairly sure his name was previously mentioned on this thread

What absolute Tosh......he played outstandingly well in a back four for Australia. He'd be absolute quality for us alongside Ben Gibson. He's exactly what we need, streets ahead of Wilmott & Rose in every department. Did Australia play a high line in the World Cup? He can’t play up the pitch. Jagielka say no more really. Was anyone commenting on his pace? His pluses outweigh his minuses massively in my opinion would also give us good options for 5 at back.

Nice Souttar/Cannon double loan would solve half our problems in one. Walters and Huth go on the piss and all signed by the morning.

Really don't want to go 3 at the back to accommodate Souttar, if that is the idea.

I can't decide whether Schumacher is looking to play a 4 at the back or whether he's thinking about a 3 with wingbacks...but i think i concur...though the daft sentimentalist in me would love big Harry return for no practical or useful reason

Yes Zan Vipotnik, would be a brilliant pick up 22 yr old, 6ft 1" forward 37 appearances 10 goals last season Would make sense to sign Clement Michelin with his strong connection to Stoke😉 And he’s a much needed right back with a pretty decent pedigree Good on corners

He's exactly what we need, streets ahead of Wilmott & Rose in every department. Souttar and Gibson partnership. Can’t see it. Don’t want to see it.Australia played a low block, we don’t. Can’t see it being something the HC would embrace.

A sudden burst of rumours linking Ike Ugbo to Sunderland on Twitter. They signed Ian Poveda the other day and they both linked up well at Sheff Wed last season. I hope the rumours aren't true. Would have really liked him here and fits the mould that was talked about in the Sentinel to a tee. Aren’t they meant to be signing a striker from the French second division? Can’t see them signing both. We’re likely going to sign a couple of strikers this window - whether those two are Mendy & Ugbo remains to be seen. Our striking options are Rusyn, Hemir & Mayenda. The latter two likely need a loan so we need more than one new one being brought in.

I know last year was a complete rebuild and this year more of a evolution
However, how many had signed by this stage, I think we had 6 or 7 by now, Johnson, Rose, Junho, Leris, Vidgal and Jojic. So I do think we are behind last year a bit. Fingers crossed for the next few days
