    Wrong. His contract runs til July 2017, he has not been released. He has been told he is free to leave if a club comes in for him. This does not mean he is free. He will go for approx 1.5 million.

    His strike record is decent, would be worth a punt.

    Not in England it isn't. He was **** the last time he played in England. He is league one standard at best. He was gash for both sunderland and Sheffield utd.

    He last played in England when he was 20. Players improve.

    He had a loan spell in Scotland with Dallied when he was young. His strike rate in that spell was better then in recent years. He is **** and is league one standard at best. Scottish football is joke, anyone could score goals in that league.

    You mean Falkirk. Maybe he had a better strike rate as they weren't in the Scottish Premier League?

    Yep, Jela had a great strike rate there before Everton signed him. That went alright?

    Aluko was pretty good there and he did ok in the Championship?

    Aluko is rubbish and jela has hardly been prolific in England. Didn't he go many months without a goal at Everton before he moved to us. We should be looking at Rhodes etc. Players who have consistently scored at this level.

    Yeah, you got a spare 12m?

    Aluko was brilliant in the Championship.. or have you only followed us in the PL?

    Jela started incredibly well for Everton in the first 12 months, then had a lean patch, then started scoring regularly again for us.

    Rhodes is the new Campbell when it comes to who people say we should sign. Need someone? For the next 3 years you are to insert "Rhodes". It doesn't matter if we can afford him, it doesn't matter if he wants to come here, it doesn't matter if we even need a striker, just insert "Rhodes". After 3 years we will reevaluate which player will be inserted next.

    I would very much doubt it and even then, after a years lay off, he would surely need some game time in the reserves.
    I am of the opinion that he is at least 3 months away at the earliest but we have 'sources' on these boards who can enlighten us.

    Anthony Stokes is a target according to HITC, a site which has linked us with about 200 players so far, patty would be a more reliable source ffs.

    He will still have trained for the past year, he just hasn't been involved in games. Bruce thinks it is worthwhile having a look at him having managed him twice before, so we should trust his judgement. He's a free signing, there's not much to lose other than wages, which is less risky if it's a pay as you play deal until he proves himself. I believe he'll be playing against Ferriby on Friday, so they'll be able to see how his match fitness is.

    I didn't realise Stoke had released Sorensen and Wilkinson - They'd be decent cover for goal and defence.

    Stéphane Sessègnon has been left out of WBA tour, looks like he's leaving. Could be a target for us

    Palacios is unlikely to excite anyone, he used to be brilliant, but he's lost his way in recent years. It seems Hughes was happy to give him a run the season before last, but unfortunately he got injured and couldn't get back in at all last season.

    There was a bloke from Stoke on Sportstalk last night, who was rather more encouraging. He said he fell apart a bit when his brother died, but he still has a lot of ability and if he could get fit and stay fit, he could turn out to be a shrewd acquisition.

    The stories of him now being a fat useless lump seem to have been grossly exaggerated, he doesn't look overweight at all, probably best to judge him after we've actually seen him in a couple of pre-seasons.

    Aye, I'd agree, that is if he showed any bottle for a very hard 3 months graft and there has been little evidence of that for some time.
