Stoke Watch Walters
Sunday, 8th Aug 2010 12:24

Stoke City sent director of football John Rudge to watch Town’s game at Middlesbrough on Saturday. Boss Roy Keane confirmed that the Potters have targeted skipper Jon Walters on Thursday, but said the clubs are yet to agree a fee.

Rudge is likely to have been impressed with Walters yesterday as he helped the Blues to a 3-1 win against the Teessiders.

On Thursday, Keane, who hopes to make two attacking signings this week, revealed that talks had continued all summer regarding Walters’s potential switch to the Britannia Stadium.

Meanwhile, striker Pablo Couñago, left at home this weekend, is reported to have had a bust-up with manager Roy Keane after the midweek reserves friendly with Tottenham. Couñago is said to have had to be restrained after reacting angrily to being named on the bench and only used as a 72nd minute sub.

The Spaniard, who has a year left on his current Town deal, is reportedly a target of former boss George Burley at Crystal Palace.

I think we've got to be really careful here. Get Scotland in, by all means, because we need to score more goals - and and a right back, but maybe that's enough, even if Walters goes. There's no doubt in my mind that all the chopping and changing last season was a mistake. A smaller, more close-knit squad is usually more successful. I hope that's one lesson Keano has learnt.
