New Stanley Matthews signs for Stoke

Now that Peter Sweeney's left Millwall, we can dub him the "new Stanley Matthews". There's nothing like heaping pressure on a youngster by sticking a label on his head. The media tried to call Marvin Elliot the "new Patrick Vieira", but former assistant boss Ray Wilkins wouldn't have it! Ok, maybe he's not a new Matthews!

More like a Chris Waddle - lacking pace, but an excellent crosser and dribbler.

It's a shame, Millwall couldn't keep a promising talent like Sweeney at the Den.

There's an air of doom and gloom about the place at the moment, despite the temporary boost offered by the popular Steve Claridge's appointment.
