Stoke interested in signing Galtasaray winger Bruma

Logically, unless we sell either Begovic or N'Zonzi we will only pay out for either a winger or a striker. Hughes has already said he will use the loan market.
My guess, and that is all it is, we will buy another striker and probably even get Assaidi on loan again. Not likely to get a decent striker on loan. The lad from Barca sounds useful?
The perfomances of Cameron in World Cup could also affect Stoke's thinking - or was something in mind when they got Bardsley?
Maybe move him into the middle and sell Huth or maybe sell Cameron. His price would be quite high now.

Monaco, who are interested in nzonzi, have just sold falcao. I imagine that the price was around 40mil+. This money will be used to bid for nzonzi.

Much alike Zakaria Bakkali that we have been credited with interest in, Bruma is still incredibly young and miles away from first team football in the Premier league, so any move now could be a hindrance in his advancement as a player and a dent in his career. Don't see it happening.

Following your theory gmass, I would suggest that we'd buy Rivière and then get Adama Traore on loan and potentially Tom Ince as another free transfer. However I don't think N'Zonzi will be allowed to leave. Added to that, Monaco haven't yet confirmed the sale of Falcao.
