As good as Pulis's. 5 mill on Whitehead for example. Soares, Tonge, Olofinjana, Sonko, need I go on? At least Bangoura scored us some goals.

Sorro, bego, huth, shawcross, fuller, etherington, pennant and countless others prior to that; that got us to where we are today. For every shite player you can name I can name a good one. Even Sir Alex has a few duds to his name.

Boskamps record when spending money was great wasn't it. £1m on Bangoura... £5.5 on Kitson, Bangoura scored more than he did £2.5 on Davies, has he ever played? £1 million on Faye (Amdy), did he ever play? £2 million Sonko.... £2 million for Soares and Tonge. £5 million on Whitehead!! £4.2 million on Arismendi £3 million on Olofinjana (although we did get that back when we sold him to Cardiff). It's easy to name poor transfers...

Every manager on the planet has signed shite.
I think it's fair to say that CC would be more of a Kitson than a Ric Fuller.

Just replying to the twit who said Boskamp had a poor transfer record by comparison. He did just as well as Pulis with zero experience in the UK from a standing start of two men, a lame dog and Mama Sidibe. ;D

Amdy Faye was a free transfer & did have a few good games - e.g. Boxing day game v The Shit that season Soares cost £1.5m in total & Tonge cost more than £2m (& he's had the odd moment) Arismendi was £2.5m rising after appearnces - so £2.5m then!
You can't pick out the signings that haven't been good value & ignore the hits (or vice versa) you have to look at the overall transfers made. imho overall TP has been very good in the transfer market. Equally you can't just judge on the transfer market,it's only 1 part of the job. Mick Mills was (mostly) very good in the transfer market however motivational skills we're non existant e.t.c.

re Whitehead he actually makes very good off the ball runs into the box as Eutace used to do. Unlike Eustace his finishing is woeful.
Deano is OK as far as I'm concerned however we paid more than he was worth.

As for passion and respect, of course he has. He's a fella with minimal footballing ability who's being paid more than you or I could ever dream of!

£5.5 on Kitson, Bangoura scored more than he did £2.5 on Davies, has he ever played? £1 million on Faye (Amdy), did he ever play? £2 million Sonko.... £2 million for Soares and Tonge. £5 million on Whitehead!! £4.2 million on Arismendi £3 million on Olofinjana (although we did get that back when we sold him to Cardiff). Arismendi was £2.6million possibly rising to £4.8million. Whitehead was also £3million rising to £5million. Apart from those two (who probably haven't even ignited all of their clauses yet) the others were in our first season panic buying stage. So TP has averaged one poor signing per season (according to you) since getting over the panic buying stage? Not too shabby hey

Ah, so the panic spunking of £15 mill or so doesn't count? Brilliant.

The £240million+ brought into the club from FOUR seasons in the Premier League more than make up for that £15million wfw.
But was it £15million? Kitson sure didn't release all of his clauses to make it £5.5million. Amdy Faye was a free. Davies was undisclosed. Tonge was £2million. Soares was £1.25million. Sonko was £2million. Seyi was £3million but we got that back when we sold him to Hull.
So more like £10million.

It's OK to spunk £10-15million on shit footballers but not invest it on talented footballers wages?

whitehead has been a really good holding midfeilder for us, and makes good runs although i don't beleive he was worth £5million i wouldo of paid £3.5million but he is definetely not terrible

Whitehead is a terrible footballer. He's not part of our best midfield and they need replacing themselves. He should be sold asap.

No not at all, I believe like always he was doing what he thought was right. Now you answer. I believe TP spent that money hoping the players would be an improvement on the Championship standard squad that we had at the time. All of them apart from Seyi had Premier League experience, which is what we needed to add to our squad. Unfortunately those players didn't work out and we have spent four bloody years trying to shift them.
