So many lies on here, Stoke yet again are looking to find bargains from America as well as an US international.

Tony Pulis and his team have barely looked within the football leagues for transfer targets and will be lucky to sign 4 from the UK. Their will be a lot of early transfer activity as many players are leaving as contracts have expired and the club are looking at younger and better players.

Altidore has been mentioned and so has Bony, Bony is first choice out of the two, depending on the price. Both could sign if the prices are reasonable enough, as well as Crouch and Jones departing.

Stoke have scouted the Championship and have found two main central defenders who they would like to persuade to join the potters in the summer, One of whom plays for Blackburn.

Tony Pulis himself has made trips to Spain a few times, as well sending his scouting team to Netherlands, Germany and Italy. He still has a few targets in France who turned down the chance to join last year.

I hope this is alright for now, I will update within the week.

Keep the updates up. there good realistic rumors

2.) 20 May 2013
Any iNfo for the 2 championship CB. Blackburn CB will probaly be Martin Ollson or Scott Dann

3.) 20 May 2013
We will obviously be looking in the UK, we've hardly ever bought foreign players in every season so why now? Why suddenly have the scouts turned their heads towards foreign players. i'm sure Pulis has some of his own targets as well

Because we need young talent,, Adam + N, Zonzi were good but there to slow we build a defence team when we need atleast 3 good forwards

5.) 21 May 2013
Pullis or anyone else was never looking at more MLS players, the two he signed never set the world a light, so lies no - speculation plenty

6.) 22 May 2013
Stoke had a scout in the US throughout the season.

7.) 22 May 2013
Shazam the Blackburn defender is Dann.
