Stoke City Left Shattered: Nine Key Departures Leave Skeleton Squad at the Edge of the Summer Transfer Window
Mark Robins faces a significant challenge in his first summer transfer window as Stoke City manager. Early moves have already been made, with five loan players returning to their parent clubs and four senior players being released. Meanwhile, three players have signed new deals, and another has been offered an extension. The club expects more departures in the coming weeks, including Ryan Mmaee, Andre Vidigal, and Niall Ennis, and may even look to sell players if needed.
Despite these changes, Stoke’s current squad is relatively strong, with 21 players who have started league games remaining, along with 13 young players who have been in the matchday squad. The real challenge for Robins, alongside Jon Walters and Ian Torrance, will be upgrading squad players into starters rather than simply replacing like for like. With a solid base in place, Robins will look to strengthen and build a competitive side for the upcoming season.
