RE: 2016 (31st July) - WBA Summer Transfer Window - BaggieSteve - 08-08-2016
Am I the only one who finds the recent names with which we've been associated as replacements for Berahino somewhat depressing? I appreciate we cannot attract the stellar names we would love to see but recently it's been one of three Stoke strikers ( I wouldn't take all three let alone one of them), Jordan Ayew, that prolific striker from the Villa and now Enner Valencia, who is so far down the pecking order at West Ham that he's basically disappeared. I also see we have been linked again with Ighalo, which would be fine, but I cannot see Watford selling him to us in a month of Sundays unless the deal included Berahino. As the close of the transfer window looms ever closer, the name "Victor Anichebe" keeps coming back to me like a recurring nightmare. Rather than end up with someone's reserve team striker on transfer deadline day, why don't we just keep Betahino this season, play him and let him go end of next season. Sure as hell, he's better than any of those named above.

From Baggie One's link:
It’s understood head coach Tony Pulis is interested in 6ft Kolasinac, a £5m-rated versatile defender who has been converted to a left-back at Schalke but can also play left-wing, centre-back or in defensive midfield.
Sounds the ideal Pulis player!
Sead Kolasinac would be a positive signing at left back. He came through the ranks at Schalke as a centre half who could also play at left back. Jens Keller put him in the team at left back after injuries to Christian Fuchs and Dennis Aogo at the start of 2014 and he has been in the first team ever since even after Roberto Di Matteo and Andre Breitenreiter followed Jens Keller in and then out of the club.
He is strong in the tackle, has perfect defensive positioning and also provides a good extra outlet good forward. I would predict that we will have to spend at least £5 million to sign him.

Depressing? Yes. But this is how it is. The great big pecking order across Europe and - now - China puts West Bromwich in 111th place behind Vladivostok in attracting multi-millionaires (+ their WAGs). The salaries the new Owner might now be offering might make a difference, though, and we could always show them properties in Halesowen instead of Oldbury.
I agree that the strikers available seem pretty average considering most Clubs start with only 1 or 2 upfront.

I don't know about anyone else, but all the speculations are so boring to read - not on here, but by the papers. And I have for the past two seasons transfers gave up to wondering to either be pleasantly surprised or not - mostly not.
RE: 2016 (31st July) - WBA Summer Transfer Window - GlassEyedBomber - 08-08-2016
Have we signed anyone else yet?
RE: 2016 (31st July) - WBA Summer Transfer Window - Dingle-Dingle - 08-08-2016
Are we there yet? DD
RE: 2016 (31st July) - WBA Summer Transfer Window - BaggieSteve - 08-08-2016
The rumour of Arsenal bidding for Jonny Evans doesn't seem to go away. Please tell me this is all paper talk! If we sold Evans, I think I would just give up
RE: 2016 (31st July) - WBA Summer Transfer Window - Stairs - 09-08-2016
As usual we will do our businesses the season starts. Shame but has always been so.
Evans to Arsenal would be a shock. But so would TP being sacked this week!
We might just sign a striker and defender before the weekend but it's getting very close.
RE: 2016 (31st July) - WBA Summer Transfer Window - Stairs - 09-08-2016
I am back from hols on Friday so will update the thread with all the links over the weekend
RE: 2016 (31st July) - WBA Summer Transfer Window - Stairs - 09-08-2016
Plus I assume we will sell Berahino on Friday to Palace so that he's not eligible to play against us?
