Meanwhile the club are still trying to add to the squad in the transfer window after already capturing Matthew Etherington and James Beattie. The latest player to be linked with a move is 25 year old Brazilian international striker Fred. The current Lyon forward, who has a very impressive goals record, is looking to leave France and has confirmed he is considering a loan proposal from the Potters.
If the move were to come of it would represent a major coup for Tony Pulis' side and would certainly raise the excitment at the Brittania another notch.
