Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but does anyone with insider knowledge know who the other clubs who were interested were ? be interesting to know who we beat off (OOhh Errr) for his signature.

Pulis now has a new car, let's hope he learns to drive it properly, especially away from home...
Good signing and more to come by the sounds of it.
Go on Stoke

Cheers Bud, it neeeded saying don't you thinK? Yeah i said similar earlier when i posted our squad. I was totally gutted after the hartlepool game and i mean i felt physically sick. But, i took stock, i didnt overreact and i thought - we have 20 points, it`s Jan, transfer window, TP knows what we need and he knows our limitations and all will come good.... It has begun... There are too many fickle fans. I mean whats all this leaving on 80-85mins against liverpool when its 0-0!?!?!?!?!?! So you can 'get home earlier'?!?!?! To do fuckin what??? Watch Dancing on ICE?!?!?! HAHAHAHA

I think this is a great move as Beattie knows the game. This could mean that Fuller will move on but I think that will be OK.

Beattie, Kitson Etherington ** ** Lawrence
With fuller and mama coming back as well, we should be able to score a goal soon ;D

Finally! Got a bit worried yesterday, when I read the 24-hr thinking time post, but all's well that ends well. I have to say, he looks a lot thinner on his picture (not taken in front of the new Boothen!!!) than I remember ... which is a good thing. Let's hope TP's arms aren't too full already to give him a cuddle and that Beats can get 10-12 goals before the season is through ... that should see us to safety, I reckon. (Fuller & kitson off the bench - once Mama is fit - from now on then?) ah

I never thought on that day we were losing to man City and being relegated to league one that I would see days like this at Stoke.
Its great that now all my mates here in North Wales are interested in Stoke and want to know whats going on.
I can join in the Premiership chat at 5 a side on a saturday morning.
Its brilliant that i cant wait to read the papers or watch Sky Sports news to see who we are signing.
Its even better that we are now attracting quality players...Sorenson, Faye, Etherington, Kitson, Beattie etc....
Please tell me its not a dream because i am loving every second of this ride

Good to see Hackett confirming it after the official announcement - oh dear!!!
'How about Beattie/Kitson and Mama to start and Fuller for the last 35 mins. '
Yes let's start with the striker who can't score to save his life. If anything Kitson will be lucky to make the bench when all available. Exactly what has he done to justify starting ahead of 2 strikers that have reached double figures between them?
Oh yes the stunning display against the mighty Rotherham I forgot.
Beattie a superb signing- great news.

I'm delighted with this signing. Coming in to January, I never thought he would be a target but, on paper, he is ideal for us. Well done all involved- roll on the next transfer!! Fingers crossed we can wrap up the James Beattie transfer and rough up Chelsea. I recall him scoring at Stamford Bridge after 12 seconds for Southampton a few years ago. Now that would be a dream debut..www.whydelilah.co.uk/news/12_Jan_2009/Fans’+verdict+-+Stoke+City+vs+Liverpool.html
