Jones In Record Transfer To Stoke

Worldwide Football can reveal Stoke City manager Tony Pulis has completed the £8m record signing of Trinidad striker Kenwyne Jones from Sunderland.

After months of trailing West Ham's Carlton Cole the Stoke manager decided to change target and opt for the Sunderland target man.

It seems a strange bit of business from Sunderland manager Steve Bruce as Sunderland aren't blessed with the most potent strike force but he has decided to cash in on the striker

Last season Jones formed a decent pairing up front with Darren Bent and in 32 appearances last season he managed to get 9 goals but it was the previous season where he made his name when he managed to get 10 goals in 29 appearances which saw him linked with a big money move to Liverpool but 12 months later and Jones will still be wearing red and white stripes but instead of The Stadium Of Light he will be making the Brittania Stadium home.

Will this signing see a change in Stoke's play, a big burly striker being the perfect foil for Delap's through in's.  We all know it'll be business as usual for City!!!!
