Had his chance last year but preferred to stay at Wigan.

Issac Hayden a far better player and option all day long.

You're comparing two totally different players position-wise

That'll keep him firmly in the Championship for a while then!

Finally been unveiled at Stoke city with our very own Nathan Jones in charge. In my opinion he was 1 of a handful of players who could've made the jump from championship to premier league

He would have got a nose bleed if he moved any further south than Stoke.

I’m tempted to put a bit of money on Stoke to get promoted. Good coach and he’s making some useful signings. Play offs the most likely route, but I like what Nathan is doing there

Pressure might be on at Xmas if not challenging for Play Off place at least.

Skill and quality wise yes. Temperament and pressure, maybe no. Perhaps the Championship is his ceiling. Big fish - Small Pond. (See Zaha thread).

Early days admittedly, but I can't see any change at all out on the pitch yet.

Well he's had half a season, knows what he needs, and bought in 6 players early. Just feels like he knows what he's doing

I think Nathan Jones may well be assembling a squad capable of battling for promotion. Top two is a bit of a lottery as anyone from about 10 could be in contention but Stoke should be battling for a spot with 1 or 2 more quality additions and providing they have a decent goalkeeper for the season

Stephen Ward has joined from Burnley on a free. Was he at Brighton when Nathan was here?

Right now, Stoke have a squad as good as any in the league. The only question is whether Jack Butland leaves, but they've already signed Adam Davies, who Jones would have known about from last season and I generally trust his judgement in players.

Well if Nathan doesn't get Stoke into the play offs at the very least, then it will probably cost him his job.
