New Stoke City manager Gary Rowett has sent a message to the club’s wantaway stars as he prepares to start work on getting the club back in the Premier League.
The Potters boss only wants to work with players totally committed to the cause, with a number linked with a move away from the relegated side - including Xherdan Shaqiri to Liverpool.
The relegated Potters have already started to plan for life outside the top flight, releasing former England defender Glen Johnson and midfielder Stephen Ireland, while Austrian centre-back Kevin Wimmer has joined Bundesliga club Hannover.
