[Beefy 1965]

It may not be a marquee signing but Livermore would improve our midfield considerably younger , quicker more mobile,
It will do for now with another one or two additions

My view as well Beefy

My problem with Livermore is that I don't think he's as good as Morrison, although Mozza has had a couple of poor games recently. For me, a new signing in midfield should replace Fletcher and should be the player who dictates the way our game goes and who is a dynamic, creative player - the centre of our play. Sorry but Livermore doesn't tick those boxes. We've offered £10 million as an opener which probably means we'll have to pay more, do we really think this guy is worth that amount of money which, let's be honest, is a lot for Albion? I appreciate he's younger than others in our midfield but, for me, that about the only advantage he has over them. In Salopbaggie's previous post, his attachment said that Livermore has played all Hull's games this season apart from their recent 3-1 win over Bournemouth - as Hull are third from bottom of the table with only 20 goals scored and a goal difference of -25, that's not much of an endorsement. Sorry but very underwhelmed by the thought of Livermore. As you say, Beefy, he's no marquee signing and I'm OK with that but surely we can do better than this or are we starting the usual Albion panic buying period?

Just to enter into the Livermore debate, I've always been pretty impressed by him to be honest, and to look good in a team that is normally struggling to hold it's own ain't easy!
No probs with him from me, Mr Pulis!

[Stairs]

I would welcome Livermore. Younger and works hard in a team that have many issues - he would fit into our squad well and benefit from those around him. Could be another Phillips and turn out to be a clever purchase.

Not that we have beaten West Ham or others to his signature yet!

But, Stairs, isn't that part of our problem. We have plenty of players who work hard or, to use the current buzzwords, "put in a shift" I'd just like some creativity in the middle of the park.
However, I think I'm in the minority regarding Livermore so we'll just have to see what happens. Still feeling underwhelmed up here in Scotland, however.

Understand - my point was that at Hull he has to work extra hard to get normal stuff done but if some of the 'workhorse' effort is taken off his shoulders at the Albion because of a better squad, maybe he will have more time to use his creative and play making attributes.

I would be more than happy to see Livermore at the Albion.

Always seems to stand out in a poor Hull team.

Chris Wood will cost 15m if West Sham want him - if that is the case just imagine what Biryani would be worth if he'd put just half a shift in for the last two season - this will haunt him all his days

[BaggieMan]

Never thought Chris Wood was up to the mark in the Prem but he has done well in the Chumpionship.
Did we release him for free ? If so, missed out there unless there was an ongoing sell-on clause.
