But Stokie makes the obvious point which invalidates all the supposed logic that Stoke and TP have in our transfer policy!
Defo's wages are currently in the 60K+ braket, there will be many clubs interested and he will command a trasfer fee! I would love to see him at the club, but I just cant see it happening myself and the fact that TP were quite willing to chuck 10 + million at Rodellega for the past 3 or 4 transfer windows but wouldnt consider him on a free with higher wages just makes a mockery of his desire to buy him in the first place!
As said last transfer window, lets wait to see who we do and dont bring in and make the comments then, but lets not hide from the fact that TP's general spending has been poor (whether that be in the purchases themselves or how they are utilised when at the club) and I see no reason to think there will be any change this time.
Congrats on the 1500th thread!
