I'd take Robson-Kanu for Rickie Lambert any day of the week. Not a brilliant step up but player for player it is a step forward.
Still praying for a big deal to happen as well though................. tumble weed

If that is the best the club can do then I am done with the club. I will not spend another penny supporting the club. I have supported the club for 50 years and I have never felt so let down.

We don't really need to despair about Thomas, obviously it's frustrating to miss out on yet another player but the need for a centre back isn't urgent (the same applies to Camacho and Carvalho imo but I know you're not all sold on Fletcher), also Nyom's signing, when it happens, offers us the option of moving Dawson centrally, so we have strengthened in central defence to an extent. The reason Nyom has been dropped by Watford is because their manager wants to play a back five and Nyom doesn't fit into the wing back role, it doesn't mean we should write him off yet.
In terms of good news it's worth remembering that we have kept Jonny Evans, imagine how fucked we'd be if he'd gone.

I wasn't as quick off the mark as Dingle Dingle in reporting:
West Brom's attempt to sign Angers centre-back Romain Thomas has failed.
It reports that the French Ligue 1 side pulled the plug on the deal for the 28-year-old centre-back over concerns that they would not have enough time to sign a replacement.
Though he might not be that important, by their saying they had enough time to find a replaced, smacks of it being a panic last minute want to buy. Doesn't look good Baggies.
Still finding it frustrating is that we have two known strikers, and ex-English one, and one that has potential to be, meaning Lambert and Saido, and we can get neither to play to potential, and are looking at inferior players to replace them. Daft world ain't it.
Then we have a quality full back - 47 caps - Gambio, whose also gone and now we need a replacement. Rolleyes

Beefy, it has been widely reported by the press that Kanu trained with us in the summer. All over Twitter too.
Really annoyed at the moment.
How are Bournemouth getting bloody Wiltshire.
