For me Stoke had a superb Transfer Window on a very good season before, getting most transfer business done early and without spending huge amounts
They bought largely from known quantity picking up the experienced campaigners in Sidwell and Bardsley and picking up impressive loans in Moses and Assaidi which thankfully means to most Stoke fans not having John Walters as first choice.
Diouf looks a good signing up front as does getting the best out of Krkic, they still have Crouch to call on also
Strength in depth especially at the back is a worry if Bardsley/Pieters/Huth/Shawcross is first choice there isn't real quality behind those four as there is other areas of the pitch
And Surely the likes of Palicios and Shea need to be moved off the wage bill?
