First topic message reminder :

Haha I dont worry, if hes any good he'll be gone in a season and if hes not he'll throw a strop when you're 16th and Steve has lost the plot.

5) Replies should only address the points of a post. Do not make personal attacks on posters whose points you disagree with. Debate the point not the poster. Moderators and/or Admins have the right to decide what constitutes a personal attack.

Ironically brought to my attention by one of the least self-aware posters we have on this site, but all the same relevant here.

I can't remember the last time I insulted a poster.

You hurt me sometimes.

I can't say i'm going to miss him, he had an obsession with the clubs of every poster and was relentless in his criticism of everything especially LVG. I discuss my club and my clubs rivals, I don't tend to critique clubs that do have the same goals as us and I have to say I didn't even know he supported West Brom until they won a few games near the end of last season.

We should get Austin in.

Sherwood and Ramsey are buddies, can come to some deal.

We could offer a few players on loan.

Bennett, Steer, Richardson, Sanchez, N'Zogbia, for example.

by GSC Thu Aug 06, 2015 6:37 pm

I think Gardner on loan to us is already agreed when he's fit

by westisbest Thu Aug 06, 2015 7:03 pm

is it. ok, didn't think he was in sherwood's plans.

Hope he can do well.

Whats the story with Reid, not heard about him for a while.

by GSC Thu Aug 06, 2015 7:41 pm

Injured.

On Liam. If I see someone make a stupid point like Cillesen not being good enough because LVG preferred someone else in a penalty shootout, I'm going to call it stupid. He had a habit of making stupid posts

by kingraf Thu Aug 06, 2015 8:08 pm

I leave for a day and Liam hands in his post of resignation. Is there or is there not a raffle on how many days till he returns? I'll PM the person running it.

Anyway, conflicting thoughts on Illara to Liverpool. Modric is 32 now, so Illara is one or two seasons away from being a regular. Hope we loan him, or at least use the dreaded buy-back.

Benzema to Liverpool also one which seems worrying. Love Benz. Fantastic footballer, but I'm also intrigued to see how he'd do when he isn't the side kick.

Apparently the man himself....The only the only Dick Law is in Madrid. The guy who broke Alexis (back in training Smile

) Seems to reckon something is happening.

Kostas Mitroglou joins Benfica on loan from Fulham.

by GSC Fri Aug 07, 2015 9:10 am

Anyone ever heard of Michael Frey

by Fernando Fri Aug 07, 2015 9:27 am

by GSC Fri Aug 07, 2015 9:32 am

Is he any good?

The cynic in me says scores 5 goals, injured for a few months then trains with the reserves because whoever replaces Freedman doesn't fancy him

by Fernando Fri Aug 07, 2015 9:41 am

Well he started a few games were on bench for other then missed about 25 games with a broken ankle.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Aug 07, 2015 10:14 am

Neil confirms the Quintero rumors are rubbish (no surprise) but they have had initial talks with Mbokani

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri Aug 07, 2015 10:22 am

If you dont sign a striker then you're gone.

by GSC Fri Aug 07, 2015 10:25 am

Young signs a new contract.

I would've sold to be honest, Young has a habit of peaks followed by years of mediocrity

by Duty281 Fri Aug 07, 2015 10:57 am

De Gea left out of United squad - off to Madrid, then?

Cant see any other reason why he would be left out.

Annoying that it has got to the day before the season starts, and his future is still up in the air!

Losing faith in LVG's transfer dealings to be honest!

by **Mat** Fri Aug 07, 2015 3:55 pm

Solomon Rondon having medical ahead of 15 million move to Albion. Gnabry confirmed. Excellent stuff!

by Guest Fri Aug 07, 2015 4:16 pm

£15m is certainly a statement from WBA, not sure why they didn't offer on Austin though?

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Aug 07, 2015 4:24 pm

I'd like to see Hooper replaced but think that Grabban will surprise a few this season. Think he's a good player, will score 10+ goals (fitness depending)

by Fernando Fri Aug 07, 2015 4:24 pm

Probably because Austin breaks his shoulder alot.

35 apps in 14/15, 31 apps in 13/14 & 37 apps in 12/13, seems to suggest otherwise

by Fernando Fri Aug 07, 2015 4:57 pm

3 dislocations in 12 months before that & surgery on his shoulder in 2014. Apparently has some knee issues too. He also failed a medical at Hull

Brucy Quotes...

“It’s an awful situation we find ourselves in but the medical is not great, so it looks as if it is a non-starter at the moment.

“It is a blow for him and a blow for us but these medicals are so stringent and obviously he has got a problem.”

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Aug 07, 2015 4:58 pm

Such a problem he can play lots of football. Interesting

by Fernando Fri Aug 07, 2015 5:07 pm

Listen his shoulder may well be healed but for £15m your not going to risk it.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri Aug 07, 2015 6:49 pm

Gone from links to Doumbia, Hernandez, Llorente and Austin to trying to sign Jimenez on loan because Carroll is close to fitness. A moron would care about Carroll being close to fitness. And it even looks like Jimenez is gonna turn us down and our alternative? Jela-f***ing-vic.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Aug 07, 2015 7:14 pm

I should've had more faith in my #westhamrelegationparty2015/16

by GSC Fri Aug 07, 2015 7:16 pm

I'm not allowed to discuss Andy Carroll being crap and injury prone

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri Aug 07, 2015 7:38 pm

We'll be fine, there are at the very least 5 teams worse than us. Honestly a lot of talk for a team with absolute no players worthy of playing in the premier league except your keeper!

Think you may be pleasantly surprised when Lewis Grabban bangs in his 12th goal of the season from a Nathan Redmond cross on February 13th 2016 Cool

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Fri Aug 07, 2015 7:44 pm

I wouldnt be surprised if none of your players score over 10 goals. I find it baffling that nothing has been done to address it as of yet.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri Aug 07, 2015 7:53 pm

I'm more concerned about the defence, we'll score enough goals, other end will be the issue

by Fernando Mon Aug 10, 2015 12:01 pm

Xherdan Shaqiri having Stoke medical

by Azzy Mon Aug 10, 2015 1:03 pm

Rondon signing a £100k-a-week five year deal for his £15m move.

music

we're going down, we're going down, we're going, Albion's going down music

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Aug 10, 2015 1:04 pm

Lolz at that move

by Azzy Mon Aug 10, 2015 1:20 pm

Don't get me wrong, pace abusing people on Fifa will be ace with Rondon + Berahino, but for a club that has for so long prided itself on sound financial management, this is an absurd move.

by Guest Mon Aug 10, 2015 1:45 pm

To be honest, that Berahino/Rondon strike force is more than likely going to keep WBA in the league & seeing as surivival this year is double as important for next years TV money, it's worth it. £100k a week is basically average nowadays for PL players. Olly, not sure why you're laughing either

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon Aug 10, 2015 1:54 pm

Because it's a dreadful dreadful move. Paying that amount of wages isn't the average thing to do either. Basically putting all their eggs in the wrong basket imo.

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Mon Aug 10, 2015 1:55 pm

We're signing Joey Barton. I have no idea why

by GSC Mon Aug 10, 2015 2:06 pm

Nope - seen him a few times and he's never impressed me tho

by Azzy Mon Aug 10, 2015 2:49 pm

I've seen Rondon several times, and would rather we play Berahino-Lambert up top. However, as with the Lambert signing, £15m + £100k per week on Rondon means we'll hopefully never see Victor Anichebe in an Albion shirt. I'd sign Malcolm Christie for £24m if it meant Big Vic never dons our colours again.

by Azzy Mon Aug 10, 2015 3:35 pm

And now I read we're supposedly after Seydou Doumbia. Who is old enough to be Victor Anichebe's grandad.

by MIG Mon Aug 10, 2015 3:44 pm

If these deals go through does it mean the end for Berahino?
