With I*T*P*L moving onto pastures new, Its now my duty to keep this blog going at a reasonable standard, I doubt ill be able do as good as job as him but Ill give it a good damn go!With the latest news coming from Stoke is that the Ashton deal is on the back-burner and we are now interested in other targets; So who could these be?.Nikola ZigicThe lanky Serbian international has been a player that has interested Stoke since last summer, with Valencia in financial difficulties and Zigic not been in there first team plans its a deal that could certainly happen, the Spanish Giants would accept a bid of around 8m which would be a top signing for any team. He would go in well with how Stoke play and the thoughts Reggie Jackson Jersey of him been on the end of them Delap throws makes a great prospect for us but also great fear from the rest of the teams. After a very succe sful loan stint at Racing Santander could spark interest from clubs who are much larger than us, but never say never. I dont think he is the target but its a deal we wouldnt be surprised would happen.Big Z-ManKenwyne JonesNow this might be a surprise to people reading this but I do feel this is the target, with Sunderland after Darren Bent and Peter Crouch this could see Kenwyne Jones been made available and I firmly believe we would Jerry Stackhouse Jersey be interested and be one of the favourites to sign the big man but we would have to battle a lot of clubs for his signature including Blackburn and Tottenham. A former loanee at Stoke which proved succe sful; Stoke even made a bid for him at the time but Southampton didnt want sell. If Sunderland do prove succe sful in signing Darren Bent and Peter Crouch then a bid of around Ish Smith Jersey 7m would be enough to purchase him and Id be very happy to see him back.Former Potter Returning?Benjani MwaruwariStoke have made a bid of 5m for the Zimbabwe Captain according to the Daily Mail, a player who had a great spell at Portsmouth has seen his chances limited at Man City due to poor performances and new arrivals. A good player he is a goalscorer he isnt hes a better version of Mama because he scores more goals, but Id prefer to keep Big Mama and save us 5m to buy someone who made make a ma sive difference at the club. With reports saying he wants a move back to Fratton Park and with Portsmouth interested seems like hell only come if Portsmouth cant afford; but I wouldnt mind if he didnt sign but I wouldnt grumble if he did.Benjani in a rare appearance for Man CityMarlon HarewoodA player Stoke have been interested since his West Ham days and would fit in with the build of the Stoke team but after a poor loan spell at local rivals Wolves in The Championship I really do hope we arent interested in him anymore, with reports coming from Hulls local paper stating Stoke are interested in his services; Im worried that this could be happening but he wouldnt be the Big Named striker but a backup to let Kitson move on but if he Mateen Cleaves Jersey is then I do fear about the rest of the transfer window. A deal around 1.5m would secure talks with the player but I pray to god this wont happen.Please God Dont Let Us Sign Him!Ro s McCormackA great season at Cardiff seeing him score 21 goals in 38 games will see interest from The Premier League, a player who has all the attributes to be a player at the Top Level; hes young, lots of pace, keen eye for goal, great work ethic. Hes a quality player and at the age of 22 he has a great future ahead of him but Cardiff have a great record of Grant Hill Jersey selling average players for large amounts of money (Johnson 5m, Chopra 5m, Jerome 3.5m etc) so what about a player with true quality? Cardiff wont sell him for any le s than 5m so its probably a no go but you just may never know.
