EYEBROWS were raised on transfer deadline day, when Stoke City manager Tony Pulis, shelled out £3.5m to take Sheffield United striker James Beattie to the Potteries. However, five goals in seven games have helped lift Stoke up to 15th, and given them a great chance of survival.
Beattie insists he was never given a fair crack of the whip the last time he played in the Premiership, at Everton, and is hell-bent on proving his critics wrong. If his rich vein of form continues, and Pulis’ men stay up, £3.5m will seem like a drop in the ocean to the Stoke faithful.
