Good news for those that wait.
Matheus Pereira flying in for a medical - deal agreed
Grady Diangana - Bilic persuaded WHU to loan him to us.
That's a left & Right winger as competition for Phillips & Edwards.
Bobby Reid (Cardiff) also now linked.
Still we await the arrival of our free scoring striker.

Quite excited by Diangana as I watched a bit of him for West Ham last season and in pre-season and he looks like a very exciting prospect.
Pereira is an unknown quantity to me, so can't really comment.
I find it quite interesting that we're after 2 wingers though, as we already have several players at the club who can play that role.
Could there be more to it than meets the eye?
Is the idea to play Phillips up top? He played just off Rodriguez in the cup at Liverpool a couple of seasons back and was excellent. Bizarrely, we haven't seen him there since.
Or more likely, is Phillips going to be sold? Other than him, I could only imagine Burke going...
Perhaps it's my analysis paralysis, but could Phillips be used in a deal for Gayle? Newcastle were linked last summer and if Bruce was watching on Saturday, Phillips looked lively. Just a thought...
Seems strange to be bringing 2 wingers in without any outgoings IMO.

Ok guys trying to follow some of the ITK on Twitter how I believe are 90% reliable.
The two wingers are as good as done both loans Periear of sporting, Albion managed to negotiate a 9.5 million euro transfer but only if we go up this becomes applicable,
They are two of Six players we are in negotiations with, with four almost certain tomorrow.
The one interesting one who I regard as the most reliable still thinks Gayle is a real possibility and negotiations are ongoing despite earlier news Newcastle had said no ....
By the way these are only itk's don't shoot the messenger :-)
