Has there ever been a better set of prem signings in terms of value for money than Hoot's?

signing?

Turner at ?1.5 million is an absolute bargain. He started poorly but has been our rock since October.

Whittaker on a free is basically theft from us.

Bassong at ?3.5 million is great value and arguably one of the club's greatest CB's.

Garrido on loan has been decent, he had three excellent months from September to November.

Tettey was another bargain at ?1.5 million. He peformed like a ?10 million man during the streak.

Snoddy is a contender for POTS with his goals, assists and general performances. Good value at ?3 million.

Bunn is a good stand in keeper and presents value at ?800K.

Kei looks like our best striker in just 40 minutes of football. Hoots showing Roeder and Gunn how to use the loan system correctly with this signing and Garrido's.

The jury is out on Becchio who looks short of quality, but it's early days. It's not as if we lost much through signing him anyway, an out of form Moro and ?200K.

These signings certainly made up for some of Lambert's expensive prem duds such as Vaughan, R.Bennett and Howson (imo with stats backing me up) and not so effective prem loans such as De Laet and the overrated Naughton.
