Stoke close to signing him, .no money mentioned

Don't care who has him, it's extra wages that we can use.

Been ok for us overall but not going to push us forward and ultimately that's what we need.

Thanks for your time here and wish you the best but bye

Was quite surprised when we offered him a new contract. He's bang average at Championship level which is probably why mad mick shipped him out on loan to start with. I am sure he'll fit into Stoke's midfield fine. I doubt we'll get a fee just nice to see another of the deadwood signings from the Morison era off our books. Just Rinohmata to go now.

To be fair, at the time he was playing regularly and it makes sense to sign up assets as it maintains value. Also he isnt someone thats likely to be hard to move on so nothing lost.

Stoke City are set to complete the signing of Ryan Wintle from Cardiff City ahead of competition from Blackburn Rovers.

The 27-year-old made 42 appearances in the Championship for the Bluebirds last season as they recorded a mid-table finish, but it has been apparent since that Erol Bulut is happy for the midfielder to move on as he prepares for a squad overhaul in the Welsh capital.

Both Blackburn and Stoke have been chasing Wintle, and journalist Darren Witcoop has confirmed that it’s the Potters who are in line to finalise the deal.

“Stoke now expected to pip Blackburn to the signing of Cardiff midfielder Ryan Wintle.”
