Transfer rumors: As an injury prone player, arguably the fate of Jonathan Woodgate is not too bad. Released after Tottenham Hotspur, Woodgate is now anchored to Stoke City.
Of course, Stoke do not need to spend any money for transfer fees Woodgate. 31 year old defender had been bound with a short contract, one year, at The Potters.
He is a top class player and we all noted that he had problems with injuries, said Stoke manager Tony Pulis, the team training camp in Austria as quoted by Eurosport.
But we believe that fitness is maintained well, and then he'll play a lot for us, added Pulis.
Woodgate will become the second catch of Stoke after they step away to get West Ham United striker, Carlton Cole, with prices reaching £ 6 million.
We know that other clubs in the Premier League would also like to pick up Jonathan, so we're happy he chose us. It's gambling, but we're happy to do so give the status and quality of him, said Pulis.
Last season, Woodgate only play once for Spurs, it was in European competition. Previous season, former Leeds United defender was just three appearances in the Premier League.
