It’s going to be another busy day in Stoke-on-Trent and I will write a blog near the end of the day to sumarise the dealings for the in’s and out’s of the club
Speculation is rife in the media with David James, Martin Petrov, Luis Perea, Nikola Zigic and Joe Ledley possibly coming in and Richard Cresswell, Carl Dickinson, Ibrahima Sonko, Andy Griffin and Danny Pugh been linked by local newspaper ‘The Sentinel’ as players leaving The Brit.
But Stoke have made two signings in the last 13 hours or so with …
Stoke City are now one of the most ambitious teams in the English game; with money to spend, great chairman, great manager, great coaches it looks like Stoke City are slowly building a club that is on the up. Stoke are known by many as the biggest underachievers in English Football with great players such as Sir Stanley Matthews, Gordon Banks, Neil Franklin, Alan Hudson, Jimmy Greenhoff, Peter Shilton and Sir Geoff Hurst wearing the famous Red & White of Stoke they have always been in with a shout but …
Liverpool 4 Stoke 0
A thoroughly depressing evening for the potters as they tasted defeat for the first time of the season. Stoke offered little to no resistance to Liverpool, and although there is no shame in losing at Anfield, it’s perhaps more the manner of defeat that sticks in the throat. Torres, Johnson, Kuyt and N’Gog punishing City for the kind of lacklustre performance we are beginning to expect away from ST4.
In truth the match was not a world away from the same fixture last year, only this time the …
Home win again! 12 months after being handed a lesson by Bolton, it’s now our turn to be teacher and Burnley the pre-pubescent pupil. Those who can, teach, and on Saturday we could. A solid if unspectacular performance, but a win is a win is a win and it felt pretty special sitting atop ‘The Greatest League in the World‘ ©Sky Sports , for all of 2 hours.
Over the past week or so, a number of teams have been giving Ryan Shawcross the eye, in hope that he’ll return some eye for some eye …
It’s short and sweet this blog today just the latest news from The Potteries.
It is reported that West Ham have accepted a £3.5m bid for James Collins from Stoke. It is expected he’ll complete the deal later tonight or tomorrow morning; the deal could rise to £5m. A good signing in my opinion and many others.
Sky Sports News have revealed that Middlesbrough have rejected a bid from an unnamed Premiership Club for German defender Robert Huth; with Stoke been interested it’s the team most likely to be but with the …
Quite an Interesting blog today with possible sad news and so hope the deal I’m talking about is not true because I will be devastated if he goes. I’ll start off with incoming transfer news.
Robert Huth – According to the papers Stoke have made a bid for the Middlesbrough and German International defender with one claiming the deal will be done before Wednesday’s trip to Anfield. Believed to be in the region of £2.5m it would be a great coup and with him turning 25 tomorrow there is still plenty of years …
The Dream Team
I will do a review of every home match this season but unfortunately not away matches as I don’t have the funds to travel much; next year though will be different when I have a job; if I get one that is. But also it delves into the mind of a match I watched but later on getting drunk out of my brains and then trying to remember it all so the facts, stats and all that mumbo jumbo may be wrong.
The atmosphere before the game was very good with …
Been several rumours this week from Young Goalkeepers to a Juventus & Danish International so very broad indeed.
Alex Smithies – It’s been doing the round on the messageboard’s is that Stoke with several Premiership Clubs are considering bids for Huddersfield and England U19 goalkeeper Alex Smithies. With rumoured bids of around £3m been touted it seems to be a expensive purchase but possibly a great bargain for one of the best young goalkeepers in England. I have heard rave reports about this youngster but I have never seen the young …
My first blog back and it’s virtually all depressing; so if you don’t like a down hearted blog then you best leave; but it’s something laying on mine and plenty of other Stokies thoughts.
Signing’s is the biggest pain in the neck of the lot so we could be a while. We have signed 1 player who will play a good part in this upcoming season; Dean Whitehead was a decent capture for us but we still need a lot more to progress from last season. I’m still all the way …
With our opening Premeirship match only 8 days away, actual transfer news has been hard to come by over the past couple of months. Our hope was that Dean Whitehead’s arrival would spark Stoke into action, and we would be going into the season with a much stronger squad than the one we finished with.
But Stoke, along with a number of other Premier league teams have continued to be exasperated by a slow moving transfer market, not least because the players are affording themselves time to make their decisions. Tony …
