What is it with Stoke and tall players?

12million for 2 metre peter... what a joke.

Forget your marquee signings.
Cameron Jerome is your man.
I'm gutted he's gone from us and I really wish him well at Stoke.
If you use him in a good attacking team with a tricky type of partner he wil lay on goal scoring chances and chip in a fair few himself.
Good luck CJ.

Got a lot of time for Stoke City but £10m for Peter Crouch at 30 years of age isn't a good bit of business.

Have huge respect for Stoke and their style of play but Crouch for £12mil is silly money.

He will fit in well and your style of play should will be perfect for the stick man but at 30, and with a reputation of being extremely inconsistent, £5mil wouldve been suffice

Levy mugged Stoke 12 million for Crouch and useless palacios for 5 million..
