He can now overtake Ibrahima Sonko to number 1 in the list of Tony Pulis' worst signings. Bloody awful player.
I have to disagree. I think that Steven Tweed (the original Paper Bag Head) and Paul Dyson were worse than Woodgate. He proves that white (Hart Lane) men can't jump!
Yes, you are right - sorry they are not TP Signings. I will try and apply a value to the signings that TP has made since we moved into the prem, in the shape of "Golden Donkeys" - so in this case an award of 5 "Golden Donkeys" means that you are a complete toss pot, O "Golden Donkeys means that you are top notch. Please remember that these are signings since we moved into the prem. Sorenson 1 Golden Donkey - Freebie, good (occassionally great) keeper. Begovic 1 Golden Donkey £3.5m - as above, but suffering at the moment. Higginbotham - 2 Golden Donkeys - reliable if limited £2.5m Collins -4 Golden Donkeys - up there with the best Donkeys around £3m Sonko -5 Donkeys, and we were paying him £20k a week to eat carrots! £2m Huth - Centre Half 0 Golden Donkeys - immense! £6m Huth -Full Back 3 Golden Donkeys, but blame Farmer Giles of Ham for that! Woodgate - Freebie - definiteley 3 Golden Donkeys, showing a worrying ability to hit 4 Upson - Freebie, - 1 Golden Donkey, not been too bad, although was pushed around today. Arisamendi - £2.3 -4 Golden Donkeys - can't get into a midfield that contains Delap,Whelan,Diao,Whitehead - says it all really. Tonge £2m 5 Golden Donkeys -same as Arisamendi Soares £1.5m 5 Golden Donkeys-same as Tonge Pennant £2m - 1 Golden Donkey - current form suggests 2 Donkeys are approaching Etherington £1.5m - 0 Golden Donkeys- current form means he may slip to 1 Golden Donkey. Olifinjana £3m -4 Golden Donkeys, only saved from 5 because Hull paid us £3m for him! Andrew Davis -£1.5m 5 Golden Donkeys! Where is he? Beattie £2m- 2 Golden Donkeys - kept us up before transforming into a fat porker Wilson £5m(£3m+ Lawrence + Kitson) -2 Golden Donkeys - I hope and prasy he is given a chance in midfield, and will elevate himself to 1 or 0 status Palacios -£8m -3 Golden donkesy because he's been signed out of shape and perhaps carrying a long term injury - not his fault, and hopefully willreach at least 1 Donkey Status. Kitson £5.5m - 3 Golden Donkeys - never quite made it, although being the Stoke Centre Forward is a thankless task. Tuncay £4m 2 Golden Donkeys - got the money back for him, and while inconsistent he could trap, pass and beat a man - gives him a head start on most other s in our team! Jerome £4m 2 Golden Donkeys - given the right service we may get 8 to 10 goals from him. Walters £3.5m 0 Golden Donkeys - converted me from his inauspicious beginnings. Integral to our team. Crouch £10m -2 Golden Donkeys - a lot of money, will suffer like every other Stoke Forward from a lack of support and decent service, but will get some goals! Jones £9m -2 Golden Donkeys (as above). Gudjohnson -Freebie 5 Golden Donkeys - enough said! so for the grand total of £84.8m, and 25 players we achieve a total of 61 Golden Donkeys! An average of nearly 2.5 GD's every time TP makes a signing - would you let him spend your money?
The only one game we have won with floodgate at the back was away to FC Thun who to be honest were terrible!
