There are a lot of building blocks that need to be put in place to get Stoke City up to the level that they can be.

The Potters have one of the richest owners in the second tier, and yet they have become part of the middling pack that stocks out the Championship every season; rarely threatening to achieve much.

Occasionally, some of these teams will suffer a relegation scare, like Stoke did last season, but on the whole, City and others are the steady Eddies, nothing to play for with five games to go-type of clubs.

Steven Schumacher has the job of changing that narrative, and a successful summer window will be key to that. They have been linked with signing one of Schumacher’s former players, Mickel Miller.

TEAMtalk reported that the club are considering launching a move for the wing-back, who has been offered a new deal by Plymouth Argyle, but talks over renewed terms are said to have stalled.

Miller has also been linked with Preston North End, Portsmouth and Oxford United, who may also look to capitalise on the wavering talks, as per Football Insider.
