I'm sold from 3 mins of Twitter clips tbh. I hear we’re looking to fill a vacancy with someone with your qualifications. Please explain? I've had a long day at work and cba to work it out.

Genuinely confused by that emoji use. Both could mean either goodbye/stay where you are or times up/more time

A Head of Recruitment who can watch lots of short clips of players and recommend to management. Bonus if you’re handy on Excel. PS Football Manager players also beneficial.

This is how the model works, why do people on here seem to struggle so much with this concept. We aren't a manager centric club anymore, we have a sporting director & a head coach, it's not a new concept that we've suddenly come up with. Don't be so patronising. The manager hasn't mentioned this player at all. We've just had a head of recruitment leave. Walters brings this player up 2 days later. It's a very reasonable question to ask. I highly doubt that Walters has only mentioned this Fleetwood lad today. It might have been released in the press today but the chances are we've been watching him or his been on a list for much longer. It's been reported numerous times that recruitment is a team effort, there's a whole room of people some named, some not named involved in scouting, data analysis etc. It's like people are desperate for there to be a power struggle narrative at the club, it's such a weird take.

Physically, he looks an absolute powerhouse He looks like exactly the sort of signing we should be doing in the domestic market similar to Junior, a young extremely fit and powerful unit, who looks like he has bags of potential. Wonder if he's being seen as defensive Midfielder (Burger replacement?) or another auxiliary player who can play in defense as well?

No not for me. Stay clear please. Baptiste is a Fosu upgrade and look how that worked out. He’s a sub specialist and has rarely played 90 mins. Goode, is well not very good. Haven’t seen anything in him that would say he would be any higher than a 4th choice CB for us. Choddhas is a utility player that would get hounded at Stoke. No pace and best years behind him. Baptiste is central midfielder. Fosu was a wide man. Similar sort of player and were often interchangeable for Brentford. I quite like Baptiste but he doesn’t get minutes and can flatter to deceive.

Not the way it came across in his interview broadcast last night by Radio Stoke Everyone jumping on these links to the likes of Rodriguez and taking that as Walters will want 30+ grizzled pro's and that's just because he played for Pulis. So much conclusion jumping on here lately. I could say he might go totally down the foreign route because he saw the success of Arnie, N'Zonzi etc. It's all based on wild guesswork. Like I said above, despite all the noises of these older pro's we've signed one so far, aged 25 and was literally everyone on here's no.1 or no.2 target for a keeper. If the Sam McCallum link is true too, that's another added who is 23/24. The knicker wetting based on absolutely fuck all is mental. There is a relatively small number of people who will find any opportunity to denigrate anything the club des, and if no opportunity exists, they will create one. We all know who they are and I firmly believe they are one or more of: A) Vale Fans trying to make mischief and sow seeds of discontent. B) School kids who thrive on seeing who can be the biggest idiot. C) Proboards Bots designed to stir controversy with the sole aim of generating traffic. D) Chinese/Russian hackers trying to cause general unhappiness and break down the morale of the country. E) Escapees from Arkham. F) Stoke fans who, because they have watched a few football games, think they know better than experienced professional people who are probably paid at least 20 times the average Stoke fan salary. On second thoughts, scratch that last one ...... it just too farfetched.

I hope Jared Dublin reads this thread so he knows just how much drama his departure generated. Despite nobody really knowing what he did. Or why he has such a big suitcase.

I like to think of myself as a bit of a geek when it comes to defenders and CBs in particular. If he can time a tackle like he does currently but at Championship level where you're is a bit more pace and gsme smarts he's a good 'un. He definitely has all the attributes for his age.

I’ve always thought that success at this level depends on having a healthy percentage of players on the way up with plenty to prove. Combine it with a couple of old pros who can direct operations and we live in hope.

Physically, he looks an absolute powerhouse Watching the clips he looks a bit special, perfect for a coach that wants to go forward forward forward. His good bits look very good, he's bound to have a few issues that needs ironing out but a proper coach and more experience at a higher level and he could be some player. It's certainly an interesting one
