Pulis mentioned wheeling and dealing but nobody for one second thought that it would be Shtaniuk who puts in the request for him to leave. It is believed Fulham are amoungst the most interested.
Shtaniuk should be looking to fetch in £2.5M at least but due to the complicated deal he is at Stoke under, Stoke would probably only fetch in around half of his transfer fee.
The board said at the start of the season that our valuable players wouldn't be sold. Now is the perfect excuse for them to cash in on a prize asset.
