Stoke are in for Ipswich striker George Hirst and are ready to pay the asking fee off £10m.

The price for players in the Championship is getting completely out of hand.
You'd need to pay me £10m to go anywhere near Stoke.

we have pushed the boat out 2 million for the lincoln guy ,that's big for us to some fans, and if we genuinely put a bid also for nearly 7 million for the Norwegian guy and it was turned down,
bbm can spend that 7 million on others look forward to seeing who .

Stoke been spending big for fair few seasons but getting them nowhere in particular.... but think this season the draw of 8th place is making clubs go for it! Buying big doesn't equal success ... given bbms ability to get best out players getting in good players would be enough without paying silly money

If he's worth £10m then Salech must be worth double that.

Agree; and we wouldn’t really want anyone who thinks Stoke is a good place to go, would we?
Maybe could have been one for the ‘
Jacks’ though!

I have always said just being safe in mid table should be our target. We've only just been promoted.
But remember Hull got to the Premier League without spending practically anything.

Ned,
Have a search the last 3 Seasons Hull have been spending a lot of money to put last seasons squad together, missing out the year before, scraped through thanks to play offs
I agree we need to get mid table this year if lower crowds will dwindle fast
Rem this year Top 8 gets you play offs

Mid table I will be happy with. Personally not setting my hopes too high because I'll set myself up for disappointment.
Then we can build on it the following season.

The guy has a chance to play Premier League football next season - Unless he is not wanted and Stoke have the money .
