In the ongoing ‘Terrace Talk’ series by Football League World, our FLW Fan Pundits share their personal opinions on the latest football news. Stoke City’s Niall Ennis has struggled to secure a regular spot in the team since joining earlier this year, with only seven league starts under his belt at the bet365 Stadium.
Despite his lack of playing time and just one goal to his name, Ennis has not been able to impress manager Narcis Pelach. Speculation about his future is rife as the January transfer window approaches, with League One teams showing interest in the striker.
Stoke fan pundit Sam Harrison believes that permanently offloading Ennis in January would be the best decision for both the player and the club. With competition from other forwards and limited opportunities on the pitch, it seems likely that Ennis will be moving on in the near future to seek more playing time and regain his form in a different team.
With Pelach looking to make room for new signings in January, getting rid of Ennis will be a priority for Stoke. Despite his potential and previous success in League One, it is clear that Ennis is not fitting into the current squad and a move to a lower division could be beneficial for his career.
In conclusion, Ennis’s future at Stoke City appears uncertain as the club prepares for the upcoming transfer window. It seems likely that he will be moving on to seek new opportunities and revive his career elsewhere.
