I still don't know why Allen went to Stoke. Hughes must have given him the hard sell that they'd build the team around him and push for Europe. That and some massive wages. Can't remember anyone else showing an interest other than possibly Swansea and West Ham

I honestly can't see what he brings, he's a like a lost dog on the pitch.

Allen went off early today for Stoke, toe injury which Lambert said 'needs to be looked at', so looks like he is out of Mexico in LA.

Managers tend to say things like this to drive the price up... .......................... Joe Allen: Paul Lambert wants midfielder to stay at Stoke City www.bbc.com/sport/football/44109299Manager Paul Lambert says relegated Stoke City must do everything to keep Wales midfielder Joe Allen. Stoke's 10-year stay in the Premier League ended with a 2-1 win at Swansea City, who will join them in the Championship next season. Allen, 28, has over three years left on his contract with Stoke but has been linked with a move away this summer. "With all good players there will be interest but I hope he stays," Lambert said. Allen, who joined Stoke from Liverpool for £13m in July 2016, came off injured in the opening minutes of Sunday's game against his former club Swansea with a toe injury, making him a doubt for Wales' friendly with Mexico on 28 May. The 42-times capped Welsh international has scored eight goals in 72 appearances during his two seasons with Stoke. "Joe Allen is an incredible professional footballer and is the type of player you want to keep at the football club," added Lambert, who replaced Mark Hughes as boss in January. "Because you build it around people like him to bring you straight back up. "What you get with Joe Allen is an absolutely terrific professional." Former Scotland international Lambert said he will only know whether he has a future at the club after speaking with the club's owners.

What a bloody mess.
It would be an absolute joke if Allen was playing championship football next season. And why on earth did he sign a contract with a clause like that?

Occam's Razor: Stoke were the only ones to make a concrete offer and as such held the whip hand in negotiations.

Chester having to drop down to the Championship was bad enough, Allen having to do it would be offensive

No Sevilla for Joe then Fear not, I'm without a club at the moment so I've written to the Andalucian home for Wayward Welshman and offered to take Allen's place for a nominal sum

Uh, no Joe... Joe Allen has offered encouragement to the next manager of Stoke City by stressing that he will seriously consider remaining at the club despite relegation. www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/stoke-city-joe-allen-future-1588127The new managerial appointment, which the club hopes to have in place by the end of this week, will want to make Allen’s future one of his first priorities. And Allen admits he will be open to persuasion after saying: “Of course I will consider it. If I’m honest, it’s a summer when you don’t know what’s going to happen. “But if the club wants me to stay to help it get up, then it’s certainly something I will consider.” But the popular Welsh international, whose early years were spent in the second tier, warns the club and its new manager that players of substance must be attracted to cope with the demands of the Championship. Allen, probably the club’s player-of-the-year had there been a vote, says next season’s squad must be able to handle the Championship’s arguably greater competitive spirit and an extra eight league fixtures “I think there will be differences,” he cautions, “and it will be new to a lot of players who haven’t had the experience of playing there and they will have to learn fast. “From a recruitment point of view, they are going to have to have an eye on that league, what we need to perform and get results at that level. “I think there’s obviously going to be change. Every summer there’s in and outs, but maybe there will be more than your average season this year. “People have spoken a lot about maybe the strength of this club in the Premier League over the last decade and we need to get some strong characters and personalities in, and obviously some good footballers, and that will be the biggest task this year.” Stoke’s hierarchy will soon begin drawing up a managerial shortlist to replace Paul Lambert that could include the likes of Slaven Bilic, Gary Rowett, Sam Allardyce, David Moyes, Nigel Pearson and Mick McCarthy, while the name of the jobless Quique Sanchez Flores has also re-appeared following January’s failure to lure him from Espanol. Allen, who started all but two of Stoke’s 38 league games, insists players like himself will hurt for a long time after suffering the indignity of relegation following a decade in the top flight for Stoke. “It’s what we all dreaded really,” said Allen. “We weren’t expected to be in this position, but unfortunately we haven’t been good enough to keep ourselves in the league and it will hurt for a while. “The job now is to get back up, hopefully straight away, and put this season behind us.” Meanwhile, Allen is currently recuperating from the foot injury he aggravated during the sprints before Stoke's final-day game at Swansea and which forced him off in the opening minutes. He has subsequently sat out a trip to California with Wales for a friendly there against Mexico on May 28.

Allen is far too good to be playing Championship football and he knows it. He will be playing top division football next season, no problem.

Yeh i cant see him staying at Stoke, hes too valuable, they will be able to get a decent transfer fee, and Allen should be playing mid to top-mid Premier League football.

Fair point, but i don't think this would be off putting for the likes of West Ham, Everton, or Arsenal for that matter (being ambitious - but really trying to put that case to Arsenal).

Was reading that Granit Xhaka is the player that took the most touches in the premier league - ahead of De Bruyne... I dont even think Xhaka is half the player that Allen is. So I hope that the new manager actually saw El Nanniy and Xhaka and doesn't just go by their stats!

But £25 million is nothing in today's market - there will be players who wouldn't be good enough to tie Joe Allen's laces going for more than that sum! I guarantee it - transfer system has gone mad!!

So I hope that the new manager actually saw El Nanniy and Xhaka and doesn't just go by their stats! I also think if it is someone like Arteta in charge, he would like a player like Allen/Wilshere running the middle of that park, have two of them and there is some creativity! And even if they rotate the role, what depth that would be.

I know it didn't work out at Liverpool but i think Allen could easily play for a top 6 club.
