both (for the CCC) quality central midfielders that we know for sure Stoke are interested in.
The Sun (fountain of truth) reports that Derby & Bolton are keen on £1.5 rated Whelan
whislt Coventry & Sheff Utd are keen on £1m rated ex-Pompey man Viafara from Southampton.
nothing exiting just posting what might be of interest

I didn't know we were interested in Viafara?!
If we are, good news, as he is a quality midfielder
I haven't heard any links to him though

Mightypotter posted it & I can vouch that his source is excellent.
dont know the extent of our interest or if we've bid e.t.c. but 100% we are interested.
The same source said we are keen on Surman @ Southanpton as well which is astonishing as various prem clubs want him & he is rated in the £2m+ (@ least bracket).
I dont have anyother info.

Viafara would be nice but Surman would be amazing. If it is true it is nice to see we are setting our sights high but I hope TP doesn't waste too much time and effort chasing him.

Oh OK, cheers lordb.
I agree Viafara would be good, Surman would be on a different scale though!

we arent looking at any of these players
no way
both of them are being looked at by prem clubs, why would they move to stoke ??
t.p will be setting his sights on players he know he can obtain knowing that they can do a better job than the current players are doing
viafara- ball winner, just like diao , same age
surman, has been scouted by the likes of liverpool and everton in recent weeks (says it all)besides hes about 5 ft 7, 5 ft 10 must be the height barrier for t.p now

like I say I dont know any more than the above but perhaps fair to surmise these are just a couple of the names on Stokes wishlist.

Surman - haven't seen much of him. How good is he?

Although born in South Africa, Surman has English parents and has broken into the England U21 side. Perhaps him and Shawcross could travel to England games together!  |

Has Shawcross been picked for the under 21's?

Pearce has been watching him. Maybe he'll get picked soon.

Gary, once again you are pissing in the wind so to speak!!! It is true that Stoke enquired about the availability of Viafara and Surman, but to the best of my knowledge that is as far as it went.

Isn't Shawcross Welsh, even though he was born in Chester? I think he played for the Welsh U21s.(I've no idea where I saw that)

I think he played for the Welsh schools/ schoolboys team, but is still eligible for England at U21 level (and above, obviously).

Why would a transfer embargo at Coventry affect us enquiring about players from Southampton or Sheff Wed
