    We need a replacement for Leon. Joe is a top class passer of the ball. He is the vital cog for Wales too.

    Better than all of our current midfielders.

    Joe has been one of Stokes best players this season.

    Same old same old..backward step backward step....We should be learning from our mistakes not adding to them,,,,I thought we wanted to move forward not backwards.....If Joe is so brilliant then he has not done much for stoke and he wont do much for us.......A fresh approach with new players is what this club needs not ex players that left us and refused to return when things were going well for them....

    Ki running down his contract is the least of the issues we have this summer with our squad, there will be a need to address many issues, and if we adopt the premis that we need to sell before we can buy, then I fear for next season, so much deadwood to offload, and players at the end of their career. Such as Leon, Rangel, Routs etc, then there are issues of Carol, Naughton, who for me are not good enough, not too mention the wasted money out in Spain with Messa, Baston, and others, you do worry that our boardroom apathy and incompetence and whether we will come through all this transition? ........ <ok>

    PS: loan players going back home also!!!....... <laugh>

    The loan players haven't been much of a success here anyway. Sanches......failure. Tammy - nothing special. However it does mean we lose those 2 players and won't get a penny for them.
    I can see us opting for a few loans again. We will then be stuck in that cycle of losing players for no money at the end of every season. It's a slippery slope alright.

    to be honest I am still trying to think of a loan signing that has worked for us. I am struggling the list of failures in that area is endless.

    We are looking at a Spanish striker who as scored 16 goals in their second division yet we are seeing Mcburnie linked with Leeds and Rangers when he has consistently scored for the under 23's and is doing well at Barnsley. I don't think the Spanish second division is a better standard than either of those and you have to ask why is this even being considered. Mind it's probably and I hope so, just paper talk

    You are right
    My list (off top of my head) Tate, Leon, Jimmy Rimmer, Borini, de Guzman, Dobbie were good
    Gomez, Gorka did a job.

    I don't think we do any worse than other clubs in our position.

    We suffer from being considered a backwater so players from Manchester and London areas are more likely to stay close to their homes and the NE seems to retain 'Big Club' mythology.

    I was referring just to the Pl, so De guzman was the only one that I could come up with, maybe Leroy Fer. failed Itay Shsckter, roland Lamah, alvaro Vasquez, then there are this years loans. not a very good record is it. mind you our recent record of signing players isn't much better.

    Other than Gylfis original loan i can think of no one.

    Andy King will turn out to be a very good loan though.

    We have not had that many to worry about it much. I'm more concerned about the players we have sent out on loan leaving us threadbare...

    I'm more concerned that we wasted £30+million on those players.
