Full story: Daily Mirror

Stoke are also planning a squad revamp as manager Tony Pulis tries to restore dressing-room harmony at the club. As many as 10 players, including James Beattie, Tuncay, Liam Lawrence and Dave Kitson, could be moved on.

from BBC rumours.

must say koumas and kapo would be QUALITY for us. sadly i cant see it.

obviously beattie would be ideal but wages would be a problem with alot of stoke players.

[ollyhoops]

Kapo Perhaps.. and James Beattie would be nice.

[QPR1234]

i think koumas would be a great replacement for adel should he not come and the out-of-form buzsaky.

[stainrodisalegend]

Koumas, Beattie and Kitson wd spearhead a promotion winning side, easy. But wd they drop down? And do we have the sponduliks?

[QPR1234]

these are the players in my eyes that guarantee promotion let alone playoffs

[bonkerrrrs]

Coppell is after Kitson for Brizzle so he may drop down!?

[paulmason]

Some of them will have to drop down, otherwise they get fat sitting on their back sides eating mars bars at home, wondering where it all went wrong.

same here, he is a quality player never understood why martinez didnt rate him

[Shania]

What about Tuncay. I really rate him. But he may not be a warnock player?

[hermitage10]

Tuncay will go to turkey

totally agree with going all out to get koumas, awesome player. Did say liam Lawrence might be out of Stoke. He gets lots of goals n assists

[WeAreQPR12]

I think I need to say 2 words to remind everyone where we are.
'Clint Hill' I think everyone should lower there expectations.

If we brought in Beattie or Koumas then I would change my opinion but there are no signs we will pay what we need to if we really want promotion and that is premiership wages.

Newcastle didn't get promoted by fluke or because they set a budget of 15k a week.

I won't hold my breathe as nothing in the last 4 years has told me these billionaires really mean business.

the counter arguement will be the gates we get in comparison to newcastle.

but if the owners truely want premiership football they cant sit around and wait for the fans to fill the stadium.

question would need to be if you are waiting for fans to fill the stadium.. why are you not getting a full stadium and ultimately if your not getting a full stadium why did you pick us if your not gonna spend some serious money.

Liam Lawrence Stoke City

Tuncay would be an ideal Taarabt replacement, but too good for CCC
