He really isn't very good. Especially not £8m.
2007-8, 33 apps, 7 goals
2008-9, 29 apps, 10 goals
2009-0, 32 apps, 9 goals
In the Championship 4 years ago he scored 14 in 35 apps.
The season before he scored 4 in 34 apps.
I find it staggering!
Perhaps I shouldn't. Perhaps this sale alone sums up the Premiership.

defintely with Delaps long throws, most of Jones goals are from his head

Didn't realise he was only 25 to be fair, seems like he's been around for ages.

He'll suit Stoke's style of play. Silly money though.
There were times during his first season with us that he looked like a bargain at three times the £6m. we paid for him. I'm afraid he's rarely looked an £8m. player in the last two years. I expect he'll start well with The Potters but I wouldn't expect it to last. It's not quite the move to Liverpool or Spurs he was being linked with a year ago.

Not worth 8 million! But could cause other teams a load of problems with Delap's long throws i guess.
But its effective though isnt it, if they'd have tried to play fancy football they'd have a) had to change pretty much the entire squad when they were promoted, and b) probably have been relegated by now like most others who've tried. Its Pulis' only option really, and i dont blame him one bit.

For me has a bit of touch and is quite menacing for a wardrobe-sized striker. Too much money, but only by a couple of million. Much more decisive, hit or miss, than Fuller clowning around up.

I quite like watching him play, but yeah, 8million is a bit much

I think most prem teams will shit themselves at a Fuller / K Jones partnership.
Stoke are in for Bellamy, Kovak, Rodellega & Weiss too - they are trying to change their style but were struggling to attract some players.

I think last season Stoke started to have the basis of a decent team and played nowhere near as much hoofball as they are accredited to, I hope they will have a decent season. Saying anti football is just ridiculous Pulis has got the best out of the players and resources at his disposal.
