Ramchope Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Would be decent back up for Christie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/Stoke-City-Derby-make-offer-Ryan-Shotton/story-22762387-detail/story.html Comments (0) DERBY County have made an offer to take Ryan Shotton loan on a half or season-long loan. But Stoke have cold-shouldered the offer for now because they want to sell the versatile defender-cum-midfielder. Shotton is desperate to move away to re-ignite his career after falling down the pecking order at Stoke. And his availability has alerted several clubs in both the Premier League and Championship. Newly-promoted Leicester and Burnley have both made tentative inquiries. And there has been interest from Blackburn, Middlesbrough and Bournemouth. Fenton-born Shotton, now 25, spent the first half of last season on loan at Wigan before returning to the Britannia. He is one of many players, also including Brek Shea, Cameron Jerome and Wilson Palacios, that Stoke are looking to sell or loan to lighten their top-heavy first-team squad.

i-Ram Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Also posted in Stoke Sentinel ?- a couple of minutes ago. Boy SN is good. Don't know how to attach the link from I-pad but... DERBY County have made an offer to take Ryan Shotton loan on a half or season-long loan. But Stoke have cold-shouldered the offer for now I now see NSR has supplied everything required. A good acquisition I would suspect to cover/challenge Christie and Keogh, and to let Freeman go. Will be interesting to see whether we have still got a bit of money available to spend or if we are only interested in respect of a loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 @SNicholsonDT: Derby are keen on a loan for Shotton but it seems Stoke want a permanent deal, I understand #dcfc #scfc More like you read the stoke senital like the rest of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Steve Nicholson's sources are similar to those of North Stand Ram, I am given to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I like Ryan Shotton, he's a big lad and can offer us an option. I'm not exactly sure where he'll fit in mind, he's certainly more of a right-back than a centre-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsall_Ram Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Will offer us something different. Thought he'd of come in before Christie though mind but he can play CB and in midfield. Came up with a draft XI if he did sign.. (Expecting hate).. "d53d3df33fb2c4aaeaede679d439ca4d" alt="d53d3df33fb2c4aaeaede679d439ca4d"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKWORTHRAM Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Be a good player to have in the squad for sure. If anything happened to Christie, he is more than capable of filling in. According to that Stoke paper. There are a couple of prem teams and quite a few championship teams that are interested in Shotton and also that Stoke want a permanent deal. I can't see us getting him because if there are that many teams in for him, you would think someone would agree to sign him permanently. If nobody wants to sign him permanently then you would think one of them teams would offer him guaranteed first team football. From the sound of things in that Stoke paper he seems quite keen to get out of Stoke and get playing football again. I would imagine he would choose a club that would offer him first team football. I'd like him here though for definite. The only thing I could say is if McClaren tells him to come here you wont be first choice, but if you get a chance and take it you will keep your place.

admira Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Why would we want to drop Bryson, an attacking player for Shotton, a defensive player, when we are keeping clean sheets but not scoring enough goals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I see more and more people's ideal starting XIs don't actually include Bryson. I also see more and more people want us to change the system. Interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsall_Ram Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yeah let's change the formation and system for Ryan Shotton. Because even the most happiest of couples 'can' get divorced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-JW- Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 So Nicholson read the article on the stoke website then 5 minutes later claims 'he understands' we've made a bid. The guy is an absolute muppet, pretending to be itk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Anyway, Shotton would be a good signing imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRam Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Shotton would be another decent defensive option. Wouldn't mind Cameron Jerome either, has pace so could play him on the wing or could be another striker option now Sammon has gone, albeit temporarily.
