Very sad news. Remember being taken for football and cricket by tony geerts. Good memories

Buckley out and potentially free agent Mccourt in. Other than the accountants who will be happy exchanging a significant fee and high wages for no fee and lower wages this is not a transfer that will help me get my damaged Albion mojo back. Very underwhelming. If Mccourt was seriously a high end...

So you would be happy to run with a strikeforce of COG, CMS and Fenelon until January when we will have sourced a replacement for Ulloa using the above example? The 8m for him will only prove to be a decent price if the squad is bolstered accordingly including a striker and right now we are a...

Albion mojo very low at the moment and therefore cant be bothered with the hassle of leaving work early etc

Agree with you on this point, otherwise we will be looking at the same problem next summer. Additionally if this report is to be believed why has it taken until the season is underway to look elsewhere for a left back. If we couldn't get the deal done re Ward we should have recruited plan B...

Not getting all this take the money stuff. We have 21 in the squad and have not replaced those that have already left without adding to that. Who has any faith that the money would be used to invest in the team before the window closes. Not me.

Agree with you re the priorities and the need to do the deals now rather than wait for four more games to go in which we may well struggle with the current squad. I am surprised that we allowed ourselves to get to opening day in a position whereby we have to play a right back on the left since...

Albion mojo low at the moment, can see a 0-1 defeat.

Whoever or whatever is to blame something is clearly not right in our recruitment and planning. To play the waiting game over Ward meaning you start the season with a right back playing on the wrong side, well either do the deal with Wolves or more on and sign the next on the list. Same with...

Not a bad option as someone to use to possibly change the game from the bench. My only thought is that he is available on a free having being released surely if he was on our original target list we would have had him on board by now. Does this indicate we may be a long way down our hit list for...

Not feeling good about prospects at the moment so going for 1-2 defeat

At least they seem willing to use the money raised by sales to improve the squad. I will be very disappointed if we lose Clayton to Boro for the reported 1.5M going to 2M with add-ons, looks like a reasonable price for a proven championship midfielder who will bring qualities we are lacking. If...

Agree with what you have said but would add that the signings need to be before August 9th rather than Sept.

Not a great performance but pre season so fitness more important than result. However, it is clear that a couple of the replacements, Ward for example, are needed now rather than by the end of August as some indicate is okay.

I understand what you are getting at and it makes sense, but when do you begin to look elsewhere at targets with the season looming large. By leaving it late don't you run the possible risk of these not happening as expected and missing back up targets due to the wait, not to mention starting...

Never really understood why people are labelled 'bedwetters' just for voicing an opinion about the club that may differ from some. I can fully understand why concerns are being raised about the squad and recruitment procedure. We are a long way short of where we need to be with 2 weeks to go...

Read that this morning and had the same thoughts. Basically he is just 'hopeful' of some signings soon but no real timescales.

With you on that. The budget was said to be competitive by Bloom prior to any sales and at that point must have met any FFP rules. We apparently did not need to shift Ulloa so I also believe that a hefty chuck of the transfer monies to be used toward improving a threadbare squad. We certainly...

Going for none unfortunately and beginning to think it will still be none come August 9th

Have to say that all along I was unhappy with the prospect of losing Ulloa and was in the don't sell camp. However, even I can accept that this kind of money was just to good to turn down. Lets hope a large proportion of it is used toward the squad.
