Looking down the Stoke squad it full of expensive earners. But Jack Butland in his 7th year with Stoke as yet another window passes him by. It it loyalty to Stoke (unusual in this day and age) or a lack of ambition as he slides down the England Number One pecking order. But not just a Championship keeper now but a bottom 6 Championship keeper. Watch him perform today, of course. But I wonder what the wage bill is for the combined sum of: Butland, Batthe, Ince, Vokes, Chester, Martins Indi, Shawcross, Diouf, Gregory, Clucas & Federici. And then there is Jordan Cousins wage........... All that outlay and their biggest threat lies with 20 year old Tyrese Campbell. We were priced out of the bidding for Liam Lindsay (ex-Barnsley) - be interesting to see how Hugill does against the young (24) centre half. Off to the game to get soaked and blown apart - wonder how important the worsening conditions will be - perhaps an important toss to win?

And looking at that squad you have to question why they are in the bottom 6. Unfortunately they have started to show some inconsistent but steady improvement and we are probably playing them at the wrong time. Makes me worried about today and I think the weather and the first goal will be the deciding factors. Of that squad, there is only Joe Allen I would have any interest in!
