    The headline on the back page of the Sentinel was " Stoke are window - shopping " in January.
    Well to me , window - shopping has always meant looking through the window but with no intention to buy.
    Am I wrong or is the Sentinel not careful enough with its phraseology ?

    Not necessarily transfer related, but certainly relevant to our lack of goals.



    We have to give the guy a decent run.

    Stability is the key, retaining the right players is essential.

    That's my biggest worry, butland, Bojan and Arnie could all play in a top 4 team in my opinion. Going to be hard to keep them

    top o the morning to ye ric n nic , my word you are early birds. I bemoan the fact we let C. Jerome leave us. We also need a bit more depth of quality in the squad for when our stars in stripes are not available for whatever reason. I may be wrong but did we get through yesterday without a single yellow card ?
    Have a nice day.

    Re a striker, we are likely to lose both Walters and Crouch in January (I'm pretty sure both are out of contract in the summer) and whilst I still believe Diouf will do the business if given a decent run it would be prudent to get a striker. Maybe the sensible thing would be a loan?

    Outside of that retention is key and i can't see us letting anyone go this window. The summer will need big investment, we have an aging squad.

    Walters recently signed a contract extension so I would not expect him to leave unless someone came in with an offer the club could not refuse.
