SINGING DEAL: As of my last update in January 2022, there haven’t been any reports or confirmations about Stoke City signing Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid for €87 million or any other amount. It’s possible that this is a hypothetical scenario or a rumor circulating online.

It seems that there is intense competition at the bottom of the Championship table, with several teams fighting to avoid relegation to League One. Rotherham United’s position in the bottom three appears almost certain, but two other spots are still up for grabs.

According to pundit Hinchcliffe, Stoke City might be the team most at risk of relegation, especially given their recent form under Steven Schumacher. However, he believes that just a couple of wins could make a significant difference and potentially secure survival for any of the struggling teams.

Hinchcliffe emphasizes the importance of results against direct rivals in the relegation battle, rather than focusing solely on matches against top teams. He suggests that teams like Stoke City need to find confidence and form quickly to avoid the drop, as recent victories for other struggling teams have shown that a few positive results can change the outlook dramatically.
