    Tony Pulis will listen to offers for Kenwyne Jones as he tries to slash Stoke’s wage bill.

    The influx of players since the £8m Trinidad and Tobago striker joined Stoke two seasons ago is testing the club’s finances.

    Southampton, Anzhi Makhachkala and QPR are interested.

    You just know that if he goes to another prem club he will probably end up doing a Demba Ba and coming back to the Brit on a hatrick!

    Waddo
    Looks like I'll be up most of the night. Eldest girl's gone into labour and STILL at home waiting for a call wish me luck..

    BACK on topic
    All I can say is SOD IT but I doubt we'll get even half the sum paid for KJ? Just seen that Jordan Rhodes has scored his 40th goal for Huddersfield tonight.
    Pulis may as well look in the lower leagues IMO.

    QPR? I doubt it but the Saints that could happen. Just put in a clause that say's JK can't play against us next season. <whistle>

    All the best for the new arrival Potts hope everything goes to plan and we have a new little Stokie in the morning <ok>

    Stoke always seem to loose heavily on selling their tat on. That's what made me think before about Coates using City for tax loss reasons!

    We should have let him go in the last transfer window IMO. We would be lucky to get half the money we paid for him, he hasnt had a competitive game in the prme for over 18 months!

    I read the article about KJ in today's Daily Mail, who suggest that Pulis needs to slash his wage bill since last summer's transfers have put a strain on the clubs finances. Oh dear, and I thought we were well solvent. Just goes to show that if you pay over the odds for players to sit on the bench and don't off load deadwood or allow players to leave on the cheap and at a loss, eventually things get tight.

    Pulis has not spent wisely IMO and has paid out too much, and for what.... our worst finish in the 4 prem years so far. If PC is now tightening the purse strings who, of quality, are we going to be able to bring in for next season?

    I won't be sad to see the back of Jones as long as we get some one else in.

    I agree, but do we need another striker on 40k a week if TP has not intention of using him?

    No not really we need some one to create more goal scoring opportunities and proper left and right backs.

I did get to bed last night at 6:30 when I listened to the Crewe / Southend game. It was good it kept me awake.. Woke up at 11:30 this morning.. still knackered.

    P.S. she a real looker, which is amazing cos my missus say's she looks like me. I decided I've enough grandkids now. <laugh>

    Why dont you buy bendtnar off us? He is big enough to do the target role but could help you play some more football because he isnt that bad with his feet and could fit in with crouch decently.

    Didn't we try to sign him on loan last August but he turned us down and went to Sunderland?

    ProudP, yes we did, but I got the impression it was us who turned him down in favour of Crouch.

    I do think Bendtner would do allright for us, but he is a big time charlie and him and pulis would end up having a naked headbutting contest in the shower.
