Stoke's fans are looking for their side to move away from the Pulis/old English type of play. Long throws and long balls forward. Hughes as a manager appears to "fancy" himself as more "cultivated" manager, since leaving Blackburn and Wales. And as a result has attempted to draft players that will play a more "cultured" type of football, in an effort to show that his sides can play attractive football. So that being said Jones, will need to bring more to the table than, waiting for crosses in the box to find him, if he wants to get consistent play in the team or even last. Crouch may not even last in the team, since he has his own limitations as a player.
