It's certainly affected the way that the team has been set up to play though - one man up top looking to hold the ball up, with very little / late arriving support.

Genuinely feel that you'd find it extremely hard to find someone who wouldn't agree with you that the defence does need strengthening, club def needs a leftback and a central defender at least, but given that is it the area that needs prioritising? Certainly not. Our goal difference is now -10...

Contracts for both were due to expire at the end of this season. Both signed one year extensions while Sami was still in charge.

Hopefully it's to be the experienced heads whilst new, younger players come through / bed in. Fingers crossed a new right back will arrive in coming months and Greer will become the third choice centre back next season.

Someone like Sergio Araujo who's currently playing for UD Las Palmas in Spains Segunda could be worth a look. 17 league goals in 33 appearances and has 8 assists so far, is also only 23 years old.

Georgios Samaras? Doesn't appear to have a future at West Brom, is good in the air and works well as a target man for others to play off.

Also its the year that they move into the Olympic Stadium so will be looking to fill 19,000 more seats a game.

Only have to look at West Ham to see how it can work for the better. Last season they were poor attacking and Allardyce was forced to bring a striking coach in. Sheringham joined up and this year, there attacking play (and league position) is much improved. Admittedly they brought some new...

The thing is wouldn't doing it so blatantly turn the fans against the owners even more? From what I gather, a lot of the Leeds fans want Refearn to stay on and use the youth talent that is coming through. There's not much love for Cellino.

Think the below could be worthy additions, would still need to find a left back and a striker who can score: Chris Gunter (Reading) or James Perch (Wigan) to fill the right back slot. Jamie Mackie (Forest) as can play on the wing and up front and knows how to play a ball in to the box...

100% agree about Best. Not sure who Hughton could have brought in direct from his previous clubs tbh. Newcastle sent all their good prospects to Rangers, as Norwich loaned us Bennett you'd think a conversation would have been had about other players and a loan from Birmingham would be unlikely /...

Pretty sure that last time all three promoted clubs were relagated was the 97-98 season with Bolton, Barnsley and Crystal Palace. With the new TV deal and relegation payments can def see it becoming a lot more common, where a handful of clubs find themselves constantly yo-yoing between the two...

East India Youth - Culture of Volume

Wouldn't surprise me tbh. His contract with West Ham ends in June and can't see them offering him a new one, so will be available on a free. Strong player that's good at holding the ball up, but isn't the goal scorer we so drastically need.

Given that Patrick Bamford has now proved himself at Championship level, presume Chelsea would intend to loan him to a low level Premiership Club next season.

The rumoured fee they paid for Wilson was £3m. Big outlay, especially if it is one that doesn't work out.

Obika wasn't on loan with us this season.

Shamir Fenelon (prev Goodwin) is prob the most promising, was on loan at Tranmere earlier in season and scored 2 goals in ten appearances and is currently on loan at Dagenham & Redbridge. Had hoped he'll be on fringes of first team this season, but contract is up at end of season and looks like...

Would also add in the Ligue 1 in France, as being another that's competitive. Lyon, PSG and Marseille are all fighting for 1st.
