Stoke City are far from out of the woods as far as relegation is concerned, but already they are likely looking towards the summer.
It has been a difficult season for Stoke, who still have plenty to play for, but for all the wrong reasons, as we enter the final few games of the season.
The picture could have looked worse were it not for the useful loans of Ali Al-Hamadi and Ashley Phillips.
It’s therefore of little surprise that both those names came up when we asked our Stoke City Fan Pundit, Sam, for two Stoke City predictions for this summer’s transfer window.
Speaking to Football League World, Sam said: “So in terms of predictions, it’s more on what Stoke might do in terms of the approach, obviously a change of head of recruitment, maybe we will go in a different direction to what we’ve seen before.
“However, my prediction is to do with two loan players that Stoke currently have, and it’s Ashley Phillips and it’s Ali Al-Hamadi.
