So Liverpool have finally completed the signing of goalkeeper Simon Mignolet from Sunderland, does this mean the newspapers can finally lay of Begovic about him leaving and let Stoke get on with preparing for the new and exciting season #stoke #FortB

Him and Pennant would be a good combo with Ethrington as a rotation. I think that wound be a good basis to start without spending big money. If we get Ollson he can double up As a winger as well as LB.
 
I see Micah Richards is up for grabs, probably well outside our pay structure but would suit our style.
 
Dutch newspapers De Telegraaf and AD report that Erik Pieters is on his way to Stoke-On-Trent to start negotiations with the club. PSV Eindhoven has given him the all clear to look for a new club as his contract runs out next year. Dutch experts say this transfer is almost a certainty now.
 
@StokeLoudProud: Eric Pieters down Clayton Wood as well I've been told.
 
3.5 million euro's, PSV really wanted to get rid of him...

Here is a heads up on him guys: very injury prone, bad temper and defensively quite weak. He has the pace of a winger, technique off the Dutch and is good offensively with a good cross. He is consistent and has great stamina and strenght, his tactical and vision are poor though. I've seen him get caught out on the counter attack a many times in the Eredivisie. But as of now, he is the best LB we Dutch have at the moment(Daley Blind is a close second), which is really shocking. He will have to adapt to EPL style defending quickly else he will have a difficult season.

Hope this helps.
 
Any LB is a positive step forward for me and he has age on his side to improve although I am slightly concerned at his alleged defensive frailties. This may give Wilson th chance to get. Run in midfield and we might well see Palcious and Wilson as the defensive midfield in a mor attacking formation.
 
West Bromwich Albion are interested in Manchester City winger Scott Sinclair, 24, with the former Swansea player hoping to go out on loan.

This is the type of player I would like to b linked with!
