Stoke City signing Darren Fletcher has expressed his satisfaction with the Potters' pre-season preparations.
The 33-year-old, who joined the Potters in a free move from West Brom this summer, insists the Potters are ready for the opening game of the season.
“I like playing with great players and with a great bunch of lads, which is what I've experienced since I've been here," said the veteran midfielder.
“I've settled in really well and we are getting ourselves ready for the season with the group we've got, with the welcome addition of Kurt Zouma, who looks a fantastic player.
“And I'm sure there will be the addition of a few more, but we've got enough players to put out a strong first 11 for that first game of the season."
