Austin: On verge of Stoke switch

Austin has
twice been denied a work permit to complete a move to Stoke but
he will now be allowed to make the switch after appearing in two
World Cup qualifiers for Jamaica earlier this month.
The county are no longer ranked as one of the world's top 70
sides but the Potters will be allowed to sign the 22-year-old
once they have agreed a fee with his club Portmore United.
"We will make sure the deal is the right deal for our football
club," said Pulis. "Rudolph is only a young lad and so if he
does well then we will make sure that they (Portmore United) are
rewarded."
Austin has attracted the interest of clubs in Brazil and the
United States but he should become a Stoke player before the
start of the new season and Pulis is excited to get him on
board.
"I really like him. He's very quick, has got two good feet and
he's good in the air," he added on BBC Radio Stoke.
Meanwhile Pulis has hailed the club's decision to house
supporters on all four sides of the Britannia Stadium for their
debut campaign in the Premier League.
"I think it's a great idea because we need our fans generating
atmosphere all around the ground," he told The Sentinel. "It's a
pity they can't be by the tunnel for when the players come out,
but you can't have everything.
"It worked a treat in the last few games of last season,
particularly in the home win over Bristol City, and it obviously
gives us more room as well to get our supporters into the
stadium.
"Atmosphere must be a huge weapon for us at home in the Premier
League and I've got no doubts those in the South Stand will do
us proud.
"It will feel like we've got two Boothen Ends at the Britannia."
