Hmmm he's scored a third of Stoke's 18 league goals having played only 14 out of 20 games. That's not a bad record considering how poor Stoke are.
Has he given any sort of explanation as to why he slapped his own team Captain? There may be mitigating circumstances. I mean I'm sure I'm not the only person who's felt like slapping Cap'n Phil after he's ballooned yet another skyball straight to an opposing player.

The "evidence"
Transcript from SSN interview. No mention of Everton;
Stoke chairman Peter Coates has hinted that the Potters may appeal Ricardo Fuller's red card for slapping team-mate Andy Griffin on Sunday. The striker was sent-off by referee Mike Jones in the 54th minute of the 2-1 defeat to West Ham for his amazing moment of madness.
But Coates told Sky Sports News that he thought a red card was harsh in the circumstances and he has hinted that the club may appeal the decision. He said: "I think it took us all by surprise - obviously it is something that shouldn't have happened.
Unprofessional
"It was unprofessional. Ricardo has been a terrific player for us and remains a terrific player for us but he's an emotional guy and needs to control himself like we all do so it was very disappointing." He added: "It's a question of, really, whether it's a sending off. I understand and believe the referee didn't see it. I have seen it since on the television - it was hardly the most aggressive thing you are ever going to see on a football field by a million miles and did he need to send him off?"
He added the club does not feel good about the incident but they are grown up and can get over these things. "It was heat of the moment, these things happen don't they and we all do things sometimes we regret and I'm sure he regrets that but we have just got to get on with it and sort ourselves out which we will."
Integral part
Coates has previously insisted Fuller remains an integral part of Stoke's plans despite some Potters' fans calling for the striker to be sacked in the wake of the embarrassing episode. He is due to meet with manager Tony Pulis to discuss what disciplinary action to take, bit insists "it is our affair and we will deal with it in our own way."

Article from BBC website, Everton rumour dismissed;
Stoke City chairman Peter Coates has said Ricardo Fuller will not be transfer listed despite slapping Andy Griffin in Sunday's defeat to West Ham.
The 29-year-old was sent-off for striking the Stoke captain in the 2-1 defeat at Upton Park. Coates told BBC Radio Stoke: "There have been no discussions about selling Ricardo Fuller. "He is such an important player for us, we want to strengthen the team rather than sell our best players."
Coates said he was disappointed by Fuller's actions, but despite condemning the Jamaican international he called into question the decision of referee Michael Jones to show the striker a straight red card. "It was a big disappointment because we could have got at least a point from the game," said Coates. "We can't blame the referee for the incident because that's Ricardo's fault.
"But I've seen the incident on television, and although I know players shouldn't raise their hands, in the great scheme of things I don't think it deserved any special attention. "I think the referee could have used his discretion and common sense and told the players to get on with the game," he added.
Coates also dismissed any speculation linking Fuller with a move to Everton.
"If Everton are keen, it's news to me," said Coates. "I don't mind clubs approaching us. I hope other clubs want all our players because that means they are good players, but it's up to us what we do with them." And Coates reiterated his desire to strengthen the City squad during the January transfer window.
"We've got a few things on the go," said Coates. "I think Tony Pulis would like about three players, but I don't want to give too much away. "I do know we'll have a stronger squad at the end of January than what we have now," he added.

Love to know the source of the original quote. If true (doesn't appear to be) this is the quickest I've known Everton to move for a player.

Hey if they want to send us Delap I'll take him. I acutally think Delap should be on the England side as a sub. Bring him on and maybe Crouch in the 75th min when your are a goal down or tied. Who in the world can stop his throws?
Fuller is OK, not sure why Stoke would sell him, he fits in well on that squad, unless they don't care if they go down.
