Stoke ready to strike for Joe - Fact or Fiction?



Teamtalk, that notorious purveyor of complete fantasy, has made its latest claim today ... Cardiff City's Joe Ledley is close to joining Stoke City.

The Potters, of course, desperately tried to land Captain Joe, in the August window making successive bids rising to £6M but found themselves knocked back and made noises that they would look again so they were widely expected to make another move in January but this has not happened yet. Teamtalk claim Cardiff Cirty have agreed to sell and the deal is being delayed by minor quibbles and contract wrangling with Joe's agent.

Chairman Peter Ridsdale confirmed only yesterday that no bid has yet been made for any player ... he is the sort of owner who says this every transfer window which a cynic can interpret as him drumming up interest and making it known he would be interested without admitting that, it's happened after he's publicised it in the past.

Joe to show or Joe to go? The answer is, I just don't know.
