sniffer 0 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Its an extremely sad thing to say but why would Shawcross want to leave Stoke for here? Stoke = Europe. Its a no brainer. You've easily turned into the most cynical on here like. I wouldnt disagree that either tbh but I now see Stoke as a bigger club in terms of current football standing (and you could never gauge how hard that is for me to say!). FA Cup final, Europa league next season, hes captain there and much liked by the fans. Stoke made it clear he wasnt for sale so to then sell them to a club who is a rival for league places wouldnt seem sensible. Would you have said Portsmouth were when they were in a similar position? I can't say the likes of Ben Arfa, Cabaye or Marveaux would have chosen to sign for Stoke over us. I'd wait and see what they're like before running your mouth. We might wish they'd signed for Stoke.

LooneyToony 41 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Second article I've read about him the last two days. You know these writers better than I do. Is this something? http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/newcastle-united-firm-favourites-sign-12890868 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13026 Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 He'd be a brilliant signing tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 9382 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Love to have him for a few years as the experienced hand on the tiller. Fits our model of snaffling up people when their market value is lowered because of contract shenanigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 He's a quality no nonsense CB, would be excellent for us but I'm not sure Stoke would let him go without a fight plus I'm sure if he was available there'd be a fair few sides in for him.

Out of contract and apparently there's been no approach from Stoke as of yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Out of contract and apparently there's been no approach from Stoke as of yet. I thought the Ronny Gill article said he's entering his last year in the summer? Either way I'd be pleasantly surprised if we managed to get him, Rafa has the pull and Shawcross would be a massive boost to our defence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
