Seems like its as good as a done deal and he's off to Stoke.

I would say the majority on here will be happy and no doubt he'll get jeered when we play them this season.
I won't do that, because you couldn't ever fault his work rate or effort.

Ultimately, he just didn't have the quality. He will probably be decent enough in the Championship, but he's not the player we want if we go back to being a Prem team.

Anything over £4m is a good deal for us IMO.
