Peter Crouch could do a job for us. Superb hold up play from him this evening and always clever knock downs with his head. Compared with Gestede he still looks a superior player. Needs pacy players around him obviously
Stoke have a number of players on their last legs at this level, Whelan, Johnson, Walters, Crouch, Peters. They need new blood in Jan or could be dragged into the relegation scrap, painfully slow throughout the pitch. Hughes big signings appear to be flops too, Imbula, Bony and Shaqiri only on the bench
