[Offers] Stoke City

My first big tip for the forthcoming season, been doing some excellent business so far.

Already signed up for next season, versatile full back Morgan Fox from Sheffield Wednesday, striker Steven Flether from Sheffield Wednesday, former Champions League winner Jon Obi Mikel from Galatasaray and strong as an ox defender James Chester from Aston Villa. Also on the verge of signing Tom Huddlestone and Angel Rangel. Added to the huge quality already in their ranks with the likes of Ryan Shawcross, Tom Ince, Bruno Martins Indi, James McLean, Nick Powell and Joe Allen.

12/1 looks an absolutely huge price in a wide open division where there appears to be no standout sides, given they finished the season like a train under Michael O'Neill and the swift turnaround and with a fast start they could runaway with it.

Heard it here first and you have not been charged for this information.

Are you tipping them for promotion or administration?

Should have a good chance. Championship next season feels like its going to be a very tight and open affair, think the relegated PL teams (perhaps with the exception of Watford) are going to be closer to the bottom than the top.

Good players. Loads of experience. Going to need to balance it with some young legs

Tom Ince? Waste of space,show pony.

macbeth · Aug 18, 2020

the squad age is worrying there. they could well burn out by the time it gets to the business end of the season.

It's like they have a copy of Football Manager 2014

Not necessarily... WBA got very few young (remotely talented) players. Considering Stoke got like 35 players in their squad I dont know if they are likely to burn out in any other way than financially.

I was thinking more like 2008 personally :lol:

That hot prospect Max Gradel will rock up next, that or a 38 year old Rod Thomas.

As others have alluded to, their wage bill must surely be, well, out of this universe ... not the best time for a shit or bust gamble.

Did they miss out on Tomas Brolin? Or perhaps he was deemed too much of an athlete for Stoke. I'm surprised some of those guys can still run!

Surely not!

He turned down Inter Milan didn't he?

I suspect that you’ll be getting complaints from some show ponies. Arguably the most overrated player in England.

Lovely stuff Crodo, an absolute who's who of players who attracted huge salaries on the promise of being quite good half a decade ago. 13th for them then.

Shit hole

Surrey Phil · Aug 18, 2020

Got a good mate who’s a Stoke fan and he is confident they’ll be going up this season. Think I might stick a few quid on!

DarrenFreemansPerm · Aug 18, 2020

No Marcus Bent?

albion534 · Aug 18, 2020

They’ll finish mid table. No chance on promotion. Squad is too old.

If they are missing anything from their squad it is probably a Marcus Bent type, all power and pace, a real nightmare for defenders and gets plenty of goals and assists.

Derby County are my second tip for the Championship, I've gone large each way. A full season of Wazza magic, plus their hugely encouraging post lockdown from which saw them emerge as unlikely play-off contenders. Further to this they've been cleared of all wrongdoing with regards selling Pride Park in 2018 so expect Mel Morris to splash the cash. Possibly best forward line in the Championship already.

The first one was good. Doubling down, even better.

Chapeau sir!
