Transfer targets (6 Viewers)

[JSL]

So is Samuel Bastien likely to get in the team? Is he any better than Josh Eccles for instance?

My mate ain’t an ‘ITK’ so it’s probably nonsense anyway

 

[TomRad85]

It seems that Kitching and Styles (actually seen him a few times and been impressed!) are already judged as poor value before they even get the chance of a game!

I mean some will have seen them and then it's great (I always said we should have signed Earnshaw rather than Haworth and how right was I!) bit it's a bit harsh to decide on a name and a trend.

I'd like us to bring Styles in, for the rumoured 2 million its always felt like a no brainer to me.

 

[Deity]

Just a guess

It’s more than a guess.

wages are likely the issue ….. needs a pay off from West Brom to proceed I would guess

What makes you think it’s more than a guess?

 

[Calista]

Some people seem to keep overlooking the fact that we have got Ayari in. He looks capable of a number of different midfield roles to me.

 

[Macca1987]

From his 20 min cameo role last Saturday I want to see more of him, he needs to get up to speed with how we play and what kind of play MR wants from him

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Would take him any day

You slag

Styles is said to have £2m release clause, if that's true, that would be very good value.

Kitching's price appears to be going up the closer we get to deadline time, that's not good value.

People need to get over their mad buying frenzy, luckily Doug seems a man to exercise common sense.

Mate just text me Samuel Bastien from Burnley on loan is being discussed

I mentioned this back in July on the Hamer thread, when the word on the street was interest from Burnley...

If there was a swap deal with Burnley, then McNally plus Bastien please.

I was looking at Burnleys squad earlier thinking they'd have a few midfielders available after signing Berge and Massengo

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Maybe I’m missing something but wouldn’t the fact the release clause has been active since the summer (?) with no club reported meeting it, show the opposite it not being good value?

As Brom got him on a free a quick high profit might be likely given they're a bit skint

 

[NorthernWisdom]

I'm genuinely surprised nobody's signed him yet. Then again I'm basing that off his Barnsley performances and I guess his loan spell with Millwall doesn't look that impressive

 

[jordan210]

Maybe we are finally going to sign Conor Coventry....

 

[mark82]

Yeah, was always impressed with him for Barnsley. Would at least be good as a versatile squad player in my eyes.

 

[Deity]

if you recall last summer they made a few high profile free transfers and paid big wages to get them …. It was a promotion gamble …. Didn’t pay off ….

Very few Championship clubs can match the wages so West Brom would need to use part of the transfer fee to pay off In this case Swift.

 

[Ann Proctor-Brown]

Panzo joins Cardiff on season long loan.

Oh no

Maybe he's asking for too much money, or is holding out for a Premier league club, but yea, strange that he hasn't moved on, I'd be surprised if he stays at Barnsley much longer, surely he has more ambition.

 

[fatso]

Good signing for Cardiff.
Hopefully we're getting someone better

 

[Deity]

I don’t think the “one” is a defender

 

[TomRad85]

Knew Robins was pulling our legs, so obvious we're signing Brekalo, Kitching, Styles, Swift and Bastien today. Almost had me going for a sec Mark.

 

[shmmeee]

Aside from anything else. By my maths we’ve got £8-9m left of the Gus money (over counted Vik by £3m), and dropping more than half of that on a CB seems like the wrong priority.

So are we trying to sign him or not?

 

[fatso]

I'd take Jack Clarke from Sunderland,
He's mainly played as a winger, but has the quality to play as a AM or a striker.
And apparently could be on the move today.

I don’t give a fuck about Swift or West Brom’s finances unless there is an actual rumour of Swift signing for us

What have you allowed for your salary calculations, in calculating that figure?

 

[Briles]

Burnley had 10m rejected not long ago

Absolutely no chance we get him

 

[Briles]

Why so angry?

 

[Deity]

So are we trying to sign him or not?

I believe @Briles and I have both suggested we are but I can’t send you a link if that’s what you are looking for …..

Mmmmmmm - think you need a dose of reality. He'll only go to a PL club, or 'just relegated from the PL' team (and for £10m minimum)
