Everything I've seen of Ryan is everything we need to contend in this league and championship...love to think we could afford him but just wondered what he's worth??? Still think it's mad we're putting so much trust in a loan player and only because we couldn't get anyone else in time...dc clearly trying to boost his confidence and by saying he produces consistent top goal scorers is all well and good but taylor and previous have had a great track record of scoring consistently...james record is really bad for a cf..I think Luke is a better winger that needs to be told that In my opinion and needs to be a lot stronger and smarter to be a great cf in this lesgue... Anyway back to sweeney it's so refreshing to see a solid confident and switched on in the heart of our defence and I think it's rubbing off on tom

Stoke have only just bought him and clearly rate him. We'd need to offer silly money (which we won't).

Ah didn't know they just bought him...shame and I guess we're lucky to have him now then...just nice to feel more relaxed with sweeney and Lumley at the heart of our defence and inbetween the sticks

Obviously we have no chance of signing him. Granted its only been two games, but I'd snap their hand off if they wanted £250k for him. I think DC will rest Locks in the next couple of games, and will play Sweeney & Burn. Really looking forward to see how Burn plays too.

Its only been two games but if we could get him for up to £500k considering he's only 19. Best we can hope for it to get him on loan again next season

Peanut money for a Premier League club. Trouble is, the better he does for us the more they will want to keep him. But end of season, if he puts the performances people are saying, £500K would be a good buy if that is our main priority at that point.

He will never play for Stoke. Whether we sign him or not will depend on whether the new board want to spend some proper cash.

There's nothing like a rush to judgement based on minimal evidence, is there?
Sweeney is everything we need in this division and the championship, based on 2 games.
James is really bad as a centre forward based on one or two full league starts and a few minutes here and there.
Isn't it better to wait another 10 games for both to truly have had a chance to show what they can do and to have been tested under different types of pressure and circumstance?

People suggesting spending half a million on a player after 2 games is ridicilous! Having said that he does look the business, a proper old fashioned centre back who belies his age at 19. I feel a lot more confident with him and the new keeper Lumley. He does however lack pace and he played a silly pass yesterday ehich could have lead to Rochdale acoring if it wasn't for Ollie Clarke making up for his error. The positives do however outshine the negatives with him so far though and I look forward to seeing more games with him at the back.

You can never tell with youngsters, weren't we saying the same thing about Parkes when he first came here?

Who gives a f**k if I'm correct or not? Just saying what I have seen of him. You're obsessed.

Its only been two games but if we could get him for up to £500k considering he's only 19. Best we can hope for it to get him on loan again next season I couldn't make yesterday's game as I had family commitments. I was impressed with Sweeney last week although Swindon didn't provide the toughest of challenges. Listening to the radio in snatches(before I got told to switch it off!) he seemed to give a good account of himself. I was glad Partington got a game. How did he perform. Was Leads injured? Lots of questions there, but I'd love to hear the views of those that were there. With reference to buying Sweeney, that would be great, it just depends how many Stoke defenders are in front of him. I can't see them letting him go if they only recently signed him. He is only 19 and I suspect they will continue to loan him out to develope his game. Love to get him for the whole of next season. I wonder if DC will play him and Burn play next week? Doubt it as Tom seems undroppable which is a shame, because if Burn is fit and up to speed I think Tom could do with a rest. UTG.
