Stoke City boss Tony Pulis is determined to land Lens striker Aruna Dindane.
Pulis wants the Lens striker to boost City's relegation fight - and chairman Tony Scholes has visited the French club for talks. Pulis sent spies to watch £6million-rated Dindane return to action in Lens' 3-1 loss at Boulogne on Thursday.
It was the 28-year-old's first game after an eight month injury lay-off. Lens president Gervais Martel will let Dindane go, with his club short of funds following relegation last year.
Stoke hit just 18 goals in their first 20 Premier League games, and Pulis will break the club's transfer record to land Didier Drogba's international strike partner.
We are still eager to land this guy along with beattie come on stoke what a signing this would be.

I'm beginning to think we are playing a clever game to reduce wage demands, Beattie, Harewood, Henri Camera and Dindane. We obviously don't want all of them the question is whether it's one or two cause surely if we sign two then someone is for the exit?

Well I think Harewood is a no go...and i think it's 2 out of Camara, beattie and Dindane.
Think Beattie is more likely than Didane, as Didane, will need a fair few games settle in, Beattie is fit and know the premiership so could walk straight into the team/squad.
If it is beattie AND Didane - that could be about 10 million quid, plus the 'rumored' 6 million for Ledley, are we going spend £19 million in January...
I know we had at least £14M to spend

Potter just because it hasn't been announced yet it doesn't mean everything was sorted out on Friday. i only reported the conversation I heard. If there as been a stumbling block since then, then theres nowt I can do about it is there But the money situation as come from a different source who has ever been wrong in the past, plus another source, who's is the first information he has told me...but no reason to lie!

Oh well that's fair enough then A-teen, you've been sold some duff info so we'd probably just assume the rest of what you post is arse batter as well.

I would guess that there are about three people from within the club who really know what is going on and who is going to sign and none of them will post it on here - or be 'overheard' by somebody that would ! ( Manager/CEO/Chairman et al ) I wouldn't take any of the rumour and conjecture posted by anyone as anything other than a bit of fun.

Arse batter. It's what most of the moles use to half-bake their rumour bumcakes with.
It's funny how many of them have climbed back into their holes now their "sources" (e.g. just repeating what they see on the messageboards but with some posturing) seem to have dried up. It takes something special to make me look towards Spinks and the Sentivale with a degree of respect but the Moles have done it.

Apparently, there's a popemobile style car at The Brit with Spanish number plates and full of oranges in the front seat.
Perfect for transporting a 6' 5" striker... ;D
Care to explain, Parkinsbelly...?

If we get beattie, i dont think we will get this guy, if we get both wheres room for fuller? or maybe change the formation to a 4-3-3 which would kind of work but not all of the times, and also with the big man mama as well?
