Joe Allen

Could our missing link in midfield be Joe Allen? we’ve been trawling Europe for players while potentailly the right man could be languishing midtable in the Championship, forgetting his past Joe has Premiership experience, has the passing quality to link up with Camarasa, a good engine who always puts a shift in and does his defensive duties, 10 million should get him :old: thoughts?

I'd take him in a heartbeat. He's too good for the championship

Unlike many championship players he actually us really a premier League one. He's probably exactly what we need. Look how he plays for Wales. Ramsay and bale run around he just keeps things ticking over. With arter and camarasa that's what we need really. I think he would be an excellent signing and would not have to adapt to anything.

Why not try and loan him with an option to buy. Stoke get some cash and can consolidate their position. We get a good player to help us stay up.

Believe he signed a new long term deal in the summer, highly unlikely

He is good but i think Stoke would want £15mill+ for him. He is not a priority in this window

Ampadu on loan is a better bet. Stoke would definitely want a hefty fee.

Better than arter imo and would be a great signing.

agree with everything apart from the 10mill , unless whoever comes in as their new manager does not see him as integral going forward and could do with some spending money I think his price might be more.

maybe a signing for the summer should we stay up.?
