Well if it's true then that Mark Hughes is showing ambition buying a a player with a good pedigree ,has Stoke been busy in the transfer market ?
Decent signing imo, got nice balance and technique, bit lightweight maybe. I think a lot tend to make him out to be all that that just because he's been at barca, where he clearly wasn't good enough. Ajax on loan, had a good end to the season, but I understand why they'd go for academy players, considering how many offensive young talents they have.. But decent signing, nice to see stoke get in different types of players, than what they usually go for.
stoke are a premier league club after all. they will probably pay him more than he's ever been payed before
