    [Albion] The Legends wall at the Amex

    This thread neatly proves the maxim that the whole 'Legends' concept in football is completely overblown. If anyone and everyone gets called a Legend (which they do) it diminishes the achievements of true legends. Have hard and fast criteria: 400 appearances and/or 100 goals. You have to prove...

    [Albion] Why Zamora Coming Back Was More Than Just Football

    I don't remember clearly the moment he signed, but that winner at LEEDS is etched in my memory bank as well as any in the last decade. It was another building block in our progress from also-rans to special-rans.

    [Albion] Where is Moises going? (Chelsea - 14/08/2023)

    Liverpool got run ragged today by Bayern, in losing 3-4, largely because they have no-one who can play effective DM.

    [Albion] Guardian - Albion prediction

    Indeed. Written through gritted teeth.

    [Albion] Caicedo or £100M

    I voted Moises, would love him to stay. However: 1)Our whole philosophy is based on a succession strategy for all the key people at the club. The idea that we wouldn't have someone earmarked to replace Moises is laughable. Delivering that player at a sensible cost will not be easy, but I'll be...

    [Albion] Furthest you've travelled for an Albion game?

    Eindhoven, although it was only further than Newcastle as went via Harwich, Rotterdam and Amsterdam as part of inter-railing, 1982.

    [Albion] Where is Moises going? (Chelsea - 14/08/2023)

    If you take a look at the reported Chelsea wage structure, you'd conclude he's been offered somewhere in the region of 200k per week. Say 5 years, that's 50m gross. https://www.spotrac.com/epl/chelsea-fc/payroll/ I reckon the most we could offer him without blowing our wage structure is around...

    [Albion] Cole Palmer on loan?

    Completely agree that it's not a position(s) we lack talent or options in. BUT the only 'hole' Colwill got us into was qualifying for Europe, so that's really not a reason to say no if, and I think potentially he is, good enough to give us something extra.

    [Albion] Paul Barber to Saudi?

    He'd be trading a huge reputation and very decent salary in English football for mega petrodollars, a very odd lifestyle and association with a nasty regime. Personally, I would find it impossible to empathise if he went for it, but it wouldn't surprise me if he did.

    [TV] Channel 4 - Paul Barber

    He'll need a cap on his water bottle there...

    [Albion] So when do the players go back to training ?

    Caicedo features in the video of yesterday's return to training Also: Lallana, Dahoud, Lamptey (only on the treatment table, worryingly) and Colwill* *just kidding

    [Albion] Nice Things Being Written About Us

    Pervis getting some credit, at last. Need to keep him below the radar.

    [Albion] Where is Alexis going? (Liverpool - for an undisclosed fee...)

    He is a lovely player to watch, smashing lad too. I was emotional clapping his emotion at VP. But, I don't think he is good enough for City. Final ball and shooting not reliable enough. Can get caught in possession. Liverpool is a done deal. He may be good enough for them, but it's not...

    [Albion] Squad for 23/24 - Summer 2023 Window

    Why is Gilmour faded out, but not MacAllister? Have I missed something?

    [Albion] Deniz Undav

    Ferguson, Welbeck, Undav and Pedro. Looks good balance to me. One plays, two on the bench and the other one injured :LOL:

    [Albion] We have the worst record for both attacking and defending set pieces this season

    But now we are so adept at this, there should be scope to focus on our weaknesses. Set pieces, and defending the transition.

    [Albion] Club Brugge reportedly interested in Steven Alzate

    Dahoud is an upgrade on Alzate. He will also have Gross, Gilmour, Lallana (occasionally), Moder (god willing) and Buonanotte ahead of him in CM. Plus Ayari with arguably more potential. Plus anyone we choose to spend the Mac/Caicedo money on. Defenders should be our priority this summer, IMHO.
