You can argue all day about signings - all managers make good bad and indifferent ones. It's what you do with 'em that counts. Hughes has got more out of Pulis signings than Pulis did. The results speak for themselves.

In a 2 horse race, Hughes finishes 10th on this measure.

This thread lost credibility when I saw it was started by crapslinger is this the best contribution you can come up with, have you any thoughts that might contribute to the thread ? It lost credibility because you're a known hughes hater. You get my drift?

The results speak for themselves. What is it? Three top ten finishes versus never finishing in the top half and the lowest scorers in all four divisions? Like the OP says, value for money V value for money.

The results speak for themselves. I agree with that, Pugsley and I am much more a fan of Hughes overall, but I think Hughes seems to have lost his way a bit recently. He hasn't addressed replacing ageing strikers with younger, quality ones(as you pointed out yesterday), and the CDM. winger and pace issues don't seem to overly bother him. I realize than the OP's thread is a comparison of the two managers' Stoke signings overall, but I think Pulis edges Hughes with recent signings, in that he at least buys players to suit his style of play.

Ryan Shotton. Easy. Hughes has a lot to live up to viz a viz yooof. Cheesy, I spoke to Ryan last week he is enjoying playing in his natural CB role at Birmingham, not sure Pulis did the lad any favours playing him out of position but that was typical Pulis, however he did get a chance to prove himself on a regular basis which is more than can be said of any youth player in the last four seasons. Make of that what you will though it has little relevance to this thread tbh.

Surely this comparison is only valid when Hughes has completed as many seasons in the Prem as Pulis did? Or it's another agenda driven load of horse wank from the multi account registering spunk puffin formerly known as Spazi?

Wolfy, Ireland, Hagard and Given to that list of unsuitable buys, but as you point out Pulis had some absolute shockers Palacios the worst for me.

It's a simple question Einstein, come on. And Palacios DID suit Pulis and his way of playing. Hard running, powerful defensive midfielder. It just didn't work out for many reasons.

No indeed a stupid signing, why we signed him to play Pulis ball is a mystery, why Hughes signed Joselu falls into the same category but cost our club a lot more money, Wolly was well the less said about that the better

I took Hughes's style of play to be a counter attacking side who hit teams on the break. I sometimes think Shaqiri slows attacks down by pissing about too much on the ball(Wingie suited us better). Affelay was similar in that he was tidy but didn't move the ball quickly. Your last line is the key though; what IS Hughes's preferred style nowadays? I loved the previous one, and I think we are a few good buys from improving again. Just think he's lost his way a bit lately.
