City`s Links

Rumours are flying everywhere about potential moves for players, but are you keeping up to date with them guys? If not, then don`t worry, we`ve got them here; a great big list for you to have a skim through of every player that we have been linked with so far!

Goalkeepers: Matthew Gilkes (Blackpool)

Defenders: Sebastien Bassong (Spurs), Liam Ridgewell (Birmingham), Stephen Crainey (Blackpool), Cedric Hengbart (Auxerre) and Mathew Mills (Reading), Stephen Kelly (Fulham)

Midfielders: Charlie Adam (Blackpool), David Vaughan (Blackpool), Mark Noble (West Ham), Charles Kabore (Marseille), Bradley Johnson (Leeds United), Sebastian Larsson (Birmingham), Joe Cole (Liverpool), David Jones (Wolves), Angel Lafita (Real Zaragoza), Darron Gibson (Man United), Christian Poulsen (Liverpool), Charles N`Zogbia (Wigan), Leon Osman (Everton), Erik Huseklepp (Bari), Jack Collison (West Ham), Craig Gardner (Birmingham), Derek Boateng (Getafe), Joey Barton (Newcastle)

So there you have it; an incredible 35 players linked with Stoke from 23 different clubs. But the most important fact is, apart from the signing of 17-year-old centre-back Immanuel Parry to the Academy, NO PLAYER HAS COME TO THE BRIT YET!!

Fans, including myself, are growing impatient to see new faces. We`re hearing all the rumours, but aren`t hearing any ink pens scribbling furiously on the dotted lines of contracts. So come on Pulis!!! We need to make the most of this transfer window in order to better the quality of our squad, and compete in Europe.
