FROM SKY SPORTS

Apparently LIVERMORE on his way to The Albion to discuss personal terms and a medical after Fee agreed with Hull City. Also Idion IGHALO doing the same from Watford after £17m fee agreed but other reports are discussions not so advanced on the latter.

I certainly hope this is reliable as these stories usually are. relatively happy with Livermore but on Ighalo

Do we really want to pay for £17 million (reported) for a striker with a 2 in 19 scoring record with 1 assist? Last year he had a great year scoring 17, but has failed to hit anywhere near that form this year and we must judge him on what he is doing over what he has done. Even Big Vic has a better record this season 3 in 10, would we look at bringing Big Vic back for £17 million, as statistically he is a better striker this season? Also remembering GMac has 5 in 23 and Matt Phillips has 5 in 22 with 9 assists, £17 million for a 2 in 19 striker is way to expensive in my book.

We may of course sign him and he proves a great success, but is it worth risk at that price? For me, putting my casting head on this calls for....................... Next!!
