STOKE key look Lindsay Parsons says he doesn't like City's direct style of play. The Bristol-based search did with Tony Pulis at Gillingham, Bristol City, Portsmouth, Plymouth and Stoke, but admits he does not always see eye to eye with the Potters boss over some footballing axioms. He said: "We have plenty of arguments since I don't such as the way they play and I'll never change on that." The chief scout in addition has revealed he proposed Demba Ba to Stoke City. myprint-247 Print voucher Our heavyweight cards have FREE UV cotton layer, FREE next day shipping & VAT included.

Parsons says he has proposed other people who've gone onto be a success in the Premier League. He added: "I have been told that players I have suggested have been too little for Stoke, but I don't go along with that. "Look at Lionel Messi, he is different class and is he too small? I have suggested people like (Cheick) Tiote, (Hatem) Ben Arfa and (Demba) Ba, but they have not been closed by Stoke and they've done well for different clubs." Parsons, who was speaking to his local newspaper in the south west, in addition has revealed he advised a young Emmanuel Adebayor to Stoke when Pulis was employed by the club's then-Icelandic owners. He said: "I remember one of the first names I gave to Tony at Stoke was a, 6ft 4in striker named (Emmanuel) Adebayor, but we were in the Championship and we were told the fee of A3m was too much." Parsons managed then non-league Cheltenham before joining up with Pulis as his assistant at Gillingham in 1995. He said: "I do regret making Cheltenham in some ways because I miss getting the final state. Our first training session is remembered by "i at Gillingham and I told Tony the conventional was lower than Cheltenham in the Southern League! "But we turned it around and won promotion as to the is currently League One and then we were 2-0 up in the play-off final against Manchester City at Wembley, but we lost."
