Stoke City squad depth as transfer window reshapes Mark Robins’ options on a budget
Mark Robins has had a busy first month in charge of Stoke City even if there have only been two new signings
Two new signings, five new faces and a few more, hopefully, to emerge like new players for Mark Robins navigates only his second month in charge of Stoke City.
First off, left-back-come-midfielder Josh Wilson-Esbrand has joined on loan from Manchester City and striker Ali Al-Hamadi has signed on loan from Ipswich Town.
Secondly, Nathan Lowe has been recalled from an outstanding loan at Walsall, Lewis Baker is back from Blackburn Rovers and Ryan Mmaee ended a loan at Rapid Vienna on deadline day to come home early.
Thirdly, there are players who hopefully won’t be all that far away from coming out of the treatment room or will make strides towards being match ready. Million Manhoef, Ben Pearson, Ben Gibson, Bosun Lawal, Jordan Thompson and Ben Wilmot will hopefully be featuring sooner rather than later. There’s Sam Gallagher, Eric Bocat and Mmaee to follow too.
