Young Stoke striker Adam Rooney has been allowed to Nelson Cruz Jersey go on trial at SPL Inverne s Caledonian Thistle with a view to a season long loan move. The Irish striker first featured in the Stoke first team in the latter part of the 2005/2006 season, scoring four goals, including a hat-trick at Brighton in Stokes 5-1 win on the final day of the season. He is the youngest ever player to have scored a hat-trick for the Potters. The twenty year old also scored Citys third in the 3-0 friendly victory over Newcastle Town yesterday. However, Jonathan Schoop Jersey despite his bright start, Adam has found first team opportunities hard to come by and spent the majority of the 2006/2007 season on loan at Yeovil and last term had spells at League Two sides Chesterfield Addison Reed Jersey and Bury, particularly impre sing at Chesterfield,scoring six times in 22 appearances for the Saltergate club, many from the wing. Tony Pulis clearly feels that although Rooney has potential, he is not yet ready to perform on the biggest stage and another season spent on loan, perhaps at a slightly higher level than previously, would aid his development. Ervin Santana Jersey I, and I am sure the majority of Stoke fans, would share this view, as we have rarely yet seen much quality from Rooney recently, following his early promise. I would hope Rooney willget amongst the Eduardo Escobar Jersey goalsduring his time in Scotland, and will come back a better player for it. As I reported previously, the club also confirmed today that Demar Phillips is on trial at Oldham and Ryan Shotton and Richie De Laet are at Bournemouth, all with views to completing loan moves.
