Stoke Halfseason Update
Table
After being at a eigth place as a season best we falled down to 13th. A bad streak after Christmas, however, we´re now at the same place as our media prediction. But we will now start to aim up higher in the table, we have the material to make the change.
Signings
Summer
Zlatan Ibrahimovic, our expensive summer signing has delivered very well during this season. He is our best goalscorer so far with 11 goals in all competitions (9 in the league). He is also in the lead with our average ratings with a average of 7.21.
Petr Cech, the man between the posts, with only 24 conceeded in 19 games and 4 clean sheets, has been a big reason why we have been winning many games.
Abdelhak Nouri has only 4 apperances this season and one of them as a starter. He has the potential to be a starter in a few years.
Alfonso Iacuitto, has played one game in the senior team. The seventeen years old Italian have made some hard work on the training pitch and being professional. Hopefully he will be our keyplayer very soon.
Tim Marell, with an age of 16 has already played a game with our U21 team, a game that he kept a clean sheet. He is watching Cech at the practises to see what he can do to be a better player.
January
Jens Dietrich, a young dude that will be a good player as fast as he stops eating das wurst. He jumped in to action the first day with the team. The coach did'nt kno about his wurst problems then, if he knew Dietrich would stayed at home.
John Owusu, I thought we signed him beacause he would have the best stamina in the team because he is from Ghana, but we were totally wrong. A bad scouting job and the scout is rumoured to be fired.
Lemuel "The Giant", 201 cm tall and a player that scares everyone but Zlatan. He is a natural cetreback but he can play anywhere in the back four.
