McMannaman
Mclean
Gnabry

we can only have 2 wingers on the pitch at one time, would we really want to buy yet another winger and have two sat on the bench??

McLean can play in any position down the left, including LB, and I don't want to have to rely on an unproven 20 year old who could be gone by January, and injuries also happen, and we need a squad of good players, so yes, I would definitely want Matt Phillips.

Blimey we have been linked with some real class strikers. Demba Ba, Gignac, Doumbia and now Rondon. All champions league quality players. Can I see any of them come here? Not so sure but if we pulled Doumbia or Rondon off then we have bagged ourself a 20 league goal scorer! Maybe we are preparing for life without Saido... If not now then January...

This will be a very big signing if we pull it off. He was very good for Malaga a few years ago.

The Baggies were today looking to tie up the loose ends of a big-money deal to bring the 25-year-old from Russia.

News of a likely deal for Rondon emerged as Hawthorns officials were completing the formalities of Serge Gnabry’s season-long loan from Arsenal.

Rondon, who has 39 caps for his country, joined Zenit from Rubin Kazan last summer for a fee of around £16m and went on to hit 20 goals in 37 league games for the Russian club last season.

He will join fellow new signing Rickie Lambert, England Under-21s hitman Saido Berahino, Victor Anichebe and Brown Ideye in the battle for forward places.

Rondon moved to Europe seven years ago and played in Spain for Las Palmas and Malaga.

He scored 13 times in 36 league games during two years with Rubin before moving to St Petersburg last summer.

His arrival could pave the way for either Anichebe or Ideye to leave if the Baggies can find a buyer.

Meanwhile, Gnabry will join the Baggies for the rest of the season in a deal that was confirmed by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger this morning but the 20-year-old will not be available for Monday’s season opener at home to Manchester City.

The deadline for new players to figure in the opening weekend has passed, and the player is also short of match fitness.

Pulis has also added winger James McClean and defender James Chester to his squad this summer.

This could be a cracking signing (as long as he doesn't do a Brown Ideye)... And I guess that's a fairly big 'if'.

Never-the-less this has got to be our most exciting signing for a good few years!
