Fair play to Stoke that was very unexpected.

Mark Hughes still got contact's with Bayern perhaps?

[frank the tank]

that is a good signing for them alright. He would have been a good signing for any team in the league......

Meh ... i don't think he's up to it. Always potential, without ever really proving himself. Of course he'll bang in two against us in his first game and then be his typical inconsistent self for the remainder of the season.

Maybe, although he was only there a wet day. Regardless it is a cracking signing for Stoke.

[Vermilion]

Bloody hell he must have been offered a fortune!

He better be good on a wet windy night in Stoke!

[I, Ravel Morrison]

This is the very definition of whhaaat?

[DannyMan2006]

He's not even joined last I knew. People jumping the gun.

As a Sterling replacement he'd be ideal

If that is the case should we not be holding all of our own players around Shaqiri's age to the same standards?

[redmike65]

Most recent twit I've seen sez he has just realised Stoke is in Staffordshire and has rejected the deal.

Got to admire Stoke for their ambition. Great signing for them, especially along with Bojan.

Or will they become the new Leeds United?

They won't they're in a very good place financially, one of the most 'healthy' clubs in the league actually.
