    It's time to talk about Stoke City's transfer business...

    The Potters have signed Ipswich forward Ali Al-Hamadi on loan for the rest of the season.

    The 22-year-old helped Ipswich win promotion to the top flight last season after joining from AFC Wimbledon midway through the campaign.

    Al-Hamadi's arrival at Stoke helped to plug the gap left by Tom Cannon's loan spell being ended early by Leicester, with the striker subsequently joining Sheffield United for an undisclosed fee.

    The recall of 19-year-old forward Nathan Lowe from a prolific spell at League Two title-chasers Walsall raised some eyebrows but he has started three games, scoring on the first of them in a draw at West Brom.

    Stoke also signed left-back Josh Wilson-Esbrand from Manchester City on loan for the rest of the season while midfielder Lewis Baker was recalled by Mark Robins from a loan spell with Blackburn.

    With the Potters four places and five points clear of the relegation zone, which they were flirting with under Narcis Pelach, does Robins' business during the window give them a platform to climb the table in the final three months of the season?

    We want you to tell us what you think about the Potters' transfer dealings...

    Stoke City completed the signing of Manchester United midfielder Ruben Curley before the transfer window closed on Monday night.

    The 19-year-old has signed a two-and-a-half year contract and will initially join up with the Potters Under-21 squad.

    Curley spent 10 years at Old Trafford and was their scholar of the year last season but did not make a first-team appearance during his time at the club.

    He played for United's Under-21s in a 3-2 win at Barnsley in the EFL Trophy earlier this season and featured in seven PL2 games.
