He was injured for a couple of months https://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/spor...powell-6333092
Re: Romaine Sawyers signs
Would have loved him at Reading. This is a very good signing.
Re: Romaine Sawyers signs
Happy with this, been missing a creative player since Tomlin left.

Apart from Harry Wilson
Re: Romaine Sawyers signs
We now have one of the strongest midfields with the best depth in the Championship. Any three from six would be good enough.

I admire your optimism, but no.
There are quite a few teams who definitely wouldn't swap their midfields with ours.
West Brom, Sheff Utd, Norwich, Watford etc
I think it is a decent championship level midfield though
Re: Romaine Sawyers signs
Sign a good striker and centre half then I reckon we can finish comfortable mid table. If the football improves as well then I think that will be a good season.

I think we might still see a bit of movement yet. Not sure why but I have a feeling Wintle may get moved on, I hope not. Watters, Collins, Phillips, Whyte, Sang will be moved on and 1 maybe 2 CBs, 1 Winger and at least 2 strikers maybe 3 to come in.

Yeah I'd be happy with better football, comfortably mid table and continued youth development this season.
I'd like to see McGuinness, Davies, Bagan and Colwill establishing themselves as quality players at this level, Ideally the likes of Denham too.
And in addition to that it would be good to see some of the next crop get the odd cameo as well i.e. Ashford or Crole

Why do you think that? He was recalled straight away by Morison and played almost every minute under him. Don't see why the player, the manager, or the club would want him to move on?

Of the 5 you mention there, I actually think Denham has got the most potential and will go the furthest.
I'm still 50/50 on Colwill. I feel that he could either develop into a top PL talent, or burn out pretty fast, kind of like a Championship Dele Alli. This is going to be a big season for him.
Re: Romaine Sawyers signs
Is this one of the biggest pre-season shake-ups at the club? The squad will be unrecognisable, I can't speak for others but on the 30th I'm going to struggle to know who's who. It's kind of surreal and as was mentioned earlier, it's got the feel of a new FUT team when a a new FIFA comes out.

I've seen loads of Cardiff fans on Twitter saying it's one of the best midfields in the league. I can't quite believe it tbh, its a decent enough midfield but it's nowhere near the best

Maybe it just seems like it compared to last year's midfield

We can't make any outlandish claims, not until we at least see how they gel together.
However, It certainly makes me feel more optimistic than the time when I heard Marlon Pack was joining us (yes, I do have a perverse habit of following their message board, and I knew that Pack was slow back then!).
Re: Romaine Sawyers signs
Good signing, I always liked him when he was at Brentford.
