    Not much for him myself, but isn't big enough and has too much pace for TP.

    He's showed at times he can be brilliant when it gets the ball to his feet, as well as in the air. If he were to go you'd have to give it time to decide how effective a move it was, remember he was on cracking form when we signed him, and it's taken til now for him to get it back. I may be wrong, but KJ seems to get either frustrated/ bored playing football, is happy to be benched for a while, then eventually gets bored with that, and starts putting the effort in again.

    Sandor,

    He has a reputation of blowing hot or cold,when he wants to play he's fantastic but he doesn't seem to want it all the time.

    My wife's a bit like that might trade her in for an updated version.

    On the subject of KJ I do know that Laudrup has said " We need to mix it" by that I guess he means the occasion long ball. And, they do play with two wingers, or fullbacks who like to attack.

    They get players in and around the box quickly so could utilize his flicks and knock downs.

    QPR are set to sign 28-year-old Stoke midfielder Wilson Palacios, who has
    played only four times this season.

    Good luck Wilson P if you leave I hope you get more game time and do well, apart from when you play us. Maybe he would be happier down in London Smithers? TBH I still don't know why we signed the lad.

    Interesting to see what the loss on this one will be?

    Hopefully they are quite desperate and we don't lose too much but i won't hold my breath on that.

    'Arry has ruled out a move for WP apparently. Who knows what will happen this window. It's still early in the month and nothing major has happened yet. SAF has dismissed reports that he will be buying anyone in January so I guess that, as always, it will all kick-off in the last 48hrs or so. At least we have got Tonge off the wagebill - undisclosed fee, what does that mean? .. a loss presumably.

    Just heard of another rumour to be thrown into the hat - Jose Antonio Reyes the ex Arsenal player and now based in Seville Spain. Age 29 and an attacking left side midfield player! No idea how true it is!

    I like the words "attacking midfielder" but tbh don't remember too much about him.

    God forbid we could be linked with a right wide man - nah that's the golden Walters position!

    According to Stoke's FB page Swansea are going to bid £4 million for Jones.
    Will we accept?
    I don't think so, as he is way too important for us

    I don't know, he's a lazy sod most of the time and with this run of form just before the transfer window it maybe a time to cash in. hopefully for a bit more than 4 mill though.

    After 5 years in the Premiership, Stoke City Council are thinking of naming a road after Tony Pulis. They are going to call it the midfield bypass!!!
