More Ex Telford I though we had moved on Kidding sounds like a good prospect and will go straight into the team no doubt. A player with Prem experience (socttish mind ) I await to be impressed

Yep, looks a good signing, and he was good against us last season and I remember Telford being desperate to try and keep him.

Now on the Star website too. But why does Shrewsworld and the Star refer to Partick as a Scots Prem side They are in Div.1

Sounds a bit like Mossey...fast, can also score goals but possibly prone to disciplinary lapses (picked up 2 yellows and 1 red, scored one goal in 12 league games)

Andy's a very promising young player. The Stoke academy seems to produce no end of decent young defenders, but not many attackers or midfielders which Stoke really need right now!
Our first team defence is the best in the entire football league (only 24 goals conceded this season) with experienced or high quality players like Wayne Thomas, Steve Simonsen, Clint Hill, Gerry Taggart, John Halls and Michael Duberry taking up all the places. Because of this we've got a string of defenders coming through the youth team who may be good enough but can't get a look in.
Brian Wilson was a right back who was tipped for the top but because of the form and sheer class of John Halls (a bargain signing from Arsenal and our player of the year) Wilson was forced out and had to sign for Cheltenham instead. Andy Wilkinson partnered Gareth Owen in central defence in our reserves for years, both are good players who can't get past the likes of Taggart, Thomas and Duberry. We've got another young central defender called Richard Keogh who is also highly rated, he can't get a game either. If you need more defenders then just ask! Tony Pulis has a habit of selling them for nothing or sending them out on season long loans. All of the above could be worthwhile signings for a League Two side, even League One.
I think Andy's last game for us was when we threw him and Gareth Owen into our defence against a Premiership bound West Bromwich Albion side at the end of last season. Both looked accomplished and we stuffed The Baggies 4-1

What's this team "Patrick" the article keeps going on about? It's "Partick"- Partick Thistle - a Scottish team. It's in the Scottish First Division- but currently not doing so well, looks as if it's in the relegation zone.

Well- it IS- I've checked with the Stoke website- BUT I got an SMS message this evening saying about Town's new signing and that said he'd played for - "Patrick"!!! No wonder people are getting confused when whoever sends those texts can't spell it right!!

Good signing for you lot quick, good in the air reads the game well, excellent at centre half for us. get some white kits and it will be like watching Telford from last year Whitead,Challis,Wilkinson,Grant you just need Stanley,Hulbert,Mackenzie,Mills,Murphy,Moore and Clarke and you will have a decent side
