I can throw the ball further than Delap said:
Pennant - considering contract

Matej Vydra - Hughes is a fan

Erik Pieters - agreed fee in january

De Ceglie - if Pieters deal falls through

Sorensen - Centre half cover

Chris Brunt - free agent & talented wide man

Hoilett - Hughes really wants a fast paced winger

Anichebe - Hughes wants a strong centre forward to replace outgoing Jones

Think I would be happy with them changes.


Also heard a bit about this guy:
Stoke are looking to buy cover for Shawcross and Huth if injured/suspended. Hughes has his eye on 22 year old, Porto FC centre back Abdoulaye Ba. Abdoulaye played in 15 matches for FC Porto and 9 matches with FC Porto B. He played three matches in the UEFA Champions League and his performances were pretty good.*
Abdoulaye is a strong centre back and he has very good heading skills. He is 6 ft 6 but despite his height he is a very quick player. He has a fantastic work rate in every match and he is very brave. The only problem is he is a rough player, picking up many yellow and red cards in matches.

I've not seen either play, but from what I can gather De Ceglie sounds the better of the 2, but I'd be happy if we signed any of these, especially Anichibe, he's a beast.
 
If we are going to play direct attacking football, you need someone with pace and strength to run the channels and mix It up abit, something that neither Crouch or Jones have been able or willing to do. I just wish Fuller was 10 years younger!

Just heard a very strong rumour (a guy who's in the know) always genuine with his info Smithers. There is a good chance we could be signing Adam LeFondre spelling? That would go down well with me.. My source said, MH is looking to speak with him and we have a figure in mind re fee!
 
Interesting that Potts we will have to see.

I noticed Bridge has signed for Reading, thought Hughes may have been tempted given that he was free.
 
Anyone for Tom Ince - I see Ollie has been linked with a 4 million bid which seems cheap to me? I see Bentley is a free as well!
 
New Potters boss to bring in former Blackburn star.
New Stoke City manager Mark Hughes could make a surprise move for free agent David Bentley, CaughtOffside understands.
The 28-year-old has just been released by Tottenham after a difficult five-year spell with the club, who he joined from Hughes' Blackburn team for £15million in 2008.
Bentley, also a former Arsenal trainee, never managed to find his best form again at White Hart Lane, after becoming one of the most talked about talents in the country under Hughes at Blackburn.
