Year # 3 for Stoke City

[johnny75]

I think thats more or less the signings.

I think although Hull have bought players, honestly I don't think any of them have played in the premiership before except Boateng. So that could be a problem.

Geovanni used to play for Man City and Warner for Fulham. Okay, they have not that much Premiership experience but they aren't newbies either. Hull have some experience in the squad so from that aspect the team should be okay.
The quality of the players itself could be a bigger issue though. You can outclass teams like Watford in the playoffs, credit for that. Now we have to consider anyway that Hull will often play against much stronger team than themselves and that could mean some heavy defeats I reckon.

Stoke signed a player from *drumrolls* Wolves! LOL

Seyi Olofinjana. The midfielder signed a four-year deal.

The 'LOL' can quickly change into a ' ' when the guy proves to be an asset. Decent signing that is for Stoke.
Stoke have signed Villa goalkeeper Sorensen too.

Good keeper on a free tranfser, not much of a risk for Stoke there and a decent signing as well.

He's a great keeper indeed, good signing for Stoke. I wish he had one more chance at Villa.

Looks like they didnt do that bad after all on the transfer market

[johnny75]

Thus far you're right but Stoke need a few more signings to get more quality and also more competition for the spots in the side.

[Marcelinho]

Stoke are after Nikola Zigic it seems. He would be a pretty cracking signing.

When will Alan Smith finally sign

[AgentZero]

Smith will probably not sign at all. This would be so typical, some rumors but no deal. Ronaldo, Drogba and Lampard like.

Zigic could be useful with this height and all for Stoke I'd say but he will need to adjust first.

Damn it. Stoke 2-0 down. Didnt start that badly actually...
