Great news, I thought he was really getting the system by the end of the season, and hopefully with a decent pre-season and a bit of luck he can get a decent return this season coming.

Hopefully this isn't the only forward signing we make, but it does feel a little less worrying now.

Ha ! The very idea that a player might think the prospect of signing for Albion is a pretty attractive one.

(Good signing. Expect our three strikers next season to be Welbeck + Maupay + A.Nother. . Zeqiri and Connolly on loan i imagine. )

Wow, I'm very surprised that he has signed only a one year deal with us at this stage of the summer. Surprised but delighted for us.

I'm with you - very happy he has re-committed, but also very surprised it is only one year. I wonder if the contract contains some sort of guaranteed extension if he makes a certain number of appearances.

Anyway, delighted!

Great news, we’re delighted to have you here next season Danny.

I wonder if GP made that statement prior to his holiday. It’s a nice re-assurance to see that given rumoured interest from other clubs.

Great news, and I guess that means we have our compliment of strikers now.

I agree with your assessment but I think Zeqiri only goes on loan if Andone stays with the club. So
Welbeck, Maupay, New Signing, Andone / Zeqiri.

Good news

Can only assume he didn’t have offers of a 2 year plus deal that worked

Or I dare I say happy with the set up?

I think you can scrub any chance of a new signing as a striker now.

Love Dat Guy!

Surprised about the 1 year deal, I suspect he turned down longer terms to stay with us!

Probably no surprise that this is announced on the day Gonzalez to Italy is confirmed and Onuachu to West Ham rumoured as done.

Fan bloody tastic. He was top ten quality in a few games towards the end of last season. Really really chuffed with this
