What are the 5 worst signings we've made since we've returned to the top league, considering money spent to games played and performances during those appearances?? 1. Davies 2. Tonge 3. Soares 4. Palacios 5. Arismendi

Where's Kitson? Carew and Eidur where pretty bad as well. Though if we're going off money spent to games played then we should be looking at the deadwood on long term contracts.

No Sonko??!?!?! I'd put him at 2 and ease Palacios out as he may, just may, surprise us.......
1. Davies 2. Sonko 3. Arismendi 4. Soares 5. Tonge
Danny "bloody" Collins and Dave "it's all his fault" Kitson deserve honourable mentions and Olofinjana only escapes because there was someone stupid enough to give us our money back on him!

Palacios for £7,000,000 is by far the worst bit of buisness we've done in the Prem. Realisically, his re-sale value has haved in the 12 months we've had him, and will only get lower. Highly un-likely to figure in a Pulis midfield now he's signed the likes of Adam and Co.

Olofinjana, Davies, Gudjohnsen, Kitson, Palacios. Although the latter two at least made sense at the time.
£5m for Deano still seems astronomical to me.

Even 2 excellent seasons won't make up for the money the club has wasted on him for a year. Being unfit for a whole year is bordering on treason IMO.

Kitson, Davies, Amdy Faye, Gudjohnsen, Soares. Amdy Faye was alright I thought. Had a fair few good games.

Harsh, he was on a free and was simply immense against Man Utd, one of the best individual games I've seen a Stoke player have.

Palacios will also be one of the highest wages at the club which is why no other club was interested in him during the window. The money spent on Palacios, with the 12 x months of wages, will take the figure to £8.5 million (ish) Coates must cry himself to sleep every night and Daniel Levy still pisses himself when he thinks back to how he well and truly shafted us.

But we got Crouchy. No Palacios would have resulted in no Crouch, I suspect. Does that make Palacios more palatable?

I forgot Tuncay! A player nobody wants for free a couple of years after we paid £5m for him. Forget Tuncay, I've just seen we got back what we paid for him, more or less

At least Tuncay;
a) played a few times for us b) scored a few goals for us c) we got a few million £ for him when we sold him
unfortunatley, none of the above do, or will apply to Mr Wilson Palacios

Looking at the whole picture, ie
1) What we paid 2) What their weekly wage estimated at 3) What they contributed 4) What we sold them for (if they aren't still here)
I would say
1) Kitson - Big fee, big wages, little contribution, sold for peanuts 2) Palacios - the only reason he isn't No. 1 is that we haven't given up completely yet 3) Arismendi - Guessing wages are low, but £3m purchase, contributed nothing and we'll get nothing when we release him next summer 4) Tuncay - Never really fit the Pulis style, but we did recoup £3m on sale 5) Joint award for Sonko, Davies, Soares, Tonge - All relatively cheap (£1-£2m), but contributed very little and we were glad to get rid

Palacios hs to be top at £8M Kitson £5M Sonko £2M Olofinjana £3M Jerome £4M ( For the simple reason he cost £4M and can't even get a decent chance).
£22 M

1. Davies 2. Kitson 3. Sonko 4. Arismendi 5. Soars
All the above have contributed pretty much 0 to where we are and cost millions.
Not fair to put Palacios in there as he still may come good we simply don`t know.
Oly did score a few as well...
Jerome is still here and scored a few and is still part of the plans....

anyone who puts Amdy Faye has no idea about football or no memory - he cost very little and did well for us.

I beg to differ about whether I have an idea about football but in fairness to the actual subject I will take Amdy off my list and replace him with the hopeless Ibrahima Sonko. Fuck that guy was shocking. Infact he was that bad I'd actually forgotten about him.
