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?
