[Albion] Daily Mail reporting Albion have rejected £4m from Burnley for Dale Stephens

[Icy Gull]

Ulloa came back from the pre-season trip to Spain after a couple of days to sign for Leicester. He'd actually played in Albion's last game before the trip v Lewes.

We played Lewes on 05 July. The Albion, with Ulloa, then went on a 9 day tour of Spain. We played Partick Thistle on 12 July and Real Betis on 17 July. Various spurious reasons were given for Ulloa not featuring in Spain. Ulloa signed for Leicester on 22 July. As I said the Stephens scenario reminds me of the Ulloa one, nothing more.

 

[Icy Gull]

I rest my case.

On incorrect information

Had Ulloa had a knock on the knee ?

Can't help thinking people are looking for stuff now.

No bid has been accepted so why would we leave him out ?

Can't remember but he wasn't fit to play

Not sure what point youre trying to make but there were multiple reports including from the Argus that he'd left the training camp on the 17th before the Real Betis game to come back to sign for Leicester.

Exactly. It's excuses to have a moan. Even if he did leave, there's nothing we can do about it, so why get all het up over something that hasn't happened?

Is correct.
I was at San Pedro del Pinatar ground and am 2 miles from it now and got last photo with L Ulloa and my son with Calde and Bruno with taxi engine running to take L U to San Javier Airport. Ulloa, Calde Bruno all in tears. Not a day to forget or being battered by Real Betis under manager Feckless Finn. Wednesday this week Brizzle City played Granada there.

Brian Owen from the Argus. Not recovered in time. Oxford on Tuesday...

Sorry CHIGLEYJem - let's face facts.

Stephens is GONE (OFF).

I'd say odds are finely balanced..with maybe just a shade on off..but based not on fact but gut...and until it's fact I'm not thinking much about it

 

[Thunder Bolt]

The club told Brian Owen, his knee is still injured.

Now, everyone has a choice. Believe them or not believe them.

Maybe DS' head isn't right to play football, and it'll all work out just fine.

The opposite appears to be true.

Sun and journalist in the same sentance is an odd mix

I'm no fun any night. Can't stand fishing!! It just encourages the moaners and there's enough to moan about in the world, without making it up.

Any criticism or questioning is a moan in your book isn't it ? The club are not exactly forthcoming with information, which is their prerogative and probably a good thing but it will lead to rumours and rumblings.
