Thats a good gamble for Stoke, if he can stay fit he'll really help them.
Realistically, he cant expect top clubs to pay top dollar for a player who never plays. United cut Hargreaves loose, Spurs have to do the same with Woodgate.

The whole Modric fiasco could conceivably turn ugly, but this is what the Champions League does. Liverpool went through the exact same phase when they went out of the CL, the big players cut and run to the clubs that are in it.
What to do though, if Levy holds his ground theres little sense having a disgruntled playmaker around the rest of the team.
I posted before that I have respect for Levy in the way he does business, and I do, but I have that respect because at the moment I think players just have too much leverage and power in their bargaining situations and managers cant manage when the players have all the power.
Unfortunately, gone are the days when manager ruled like tyrants and players got what they got and were glad for it.
