One of the most significant deadline days for Stoke in a long time.
Likelihood is that we lose our biggest creative and goal scoring threat in Thomas, with very few options out there to replace him. No qualms with Thomas leaving, he deserves a chance in the Prem. Bleak for Stoke
Ultimately if we end the day without Thomas, and with only a replacement for him, we can safely say we’ve had a poor transfer window and heads should roll.
Not to mention there is the prospect of signing players for the manager and then potentially sacking the manager.
Haven’t won in the league since we beat already relegated Sheffield Wednesday at home on Good Friday by the way. And that makes it 6 league losses in a row with Wolves and Norwich up next
I was a big fan of Johnson when he first broke through at West Ham, but feels like he’s been a bit part player the last couple of years. Given Tchamadeu’s injuries, this feels a really good option so long as he can stay fit and doesn’t pick up the Stoke curse.
That’s that for the 2025/26 season for Stoke. A season that promised a lot and ultimately finished exactly like every other seems to; nowhere.
Injuries have played a huge part but recruitment and lack thereof has too.
I dread to think where we’d be without Sorba Thomas.
It all feels a bit last days of Rome with him lashing out at individuals and slating players in the post-match interviews.
Couple that with the looming sword of needing to sell to buy every season and you can understand why fans are fed up.
All in all, another classic 3/10 season for the rip roaring potters, who finish with a predictable whimper.
Bring on a summer of wholesale changes and an opening day ‘this is our season’ once again, eh. #scfc
Big news for Stoke who will now only be finishing 5 or 6 places away from the Playoff places from next season!
From the 26/27 season, the #SkyBetChampionship Play-Offs will be expanded to six teams.

It’s been so long that I’ve felt this positive about this football club but seeing Steven Nzonzi score 10 years after leaving, with the club finally looking competitive in the Championship??
This just DOES something to me. Oh Steven Nzonzi ❤️🤍
When was the last time we had a manager who was in demand like this? Hope Stoke have Robins on a tight contract!
🚨 @JacobsBen: "Stoke's Mark Robins is a manager who scores very highly in Johannes Spors' data-led recruitment. And Spors will be the one who takes the leading role [in the manager search." #saintsfc @talkSPORT
