[Albion] Older ‘experienced pro’ signing?

[pigmanovich]

Did you miss my scoop above?!

I can imagine the ink is drying on the contracts right about now

Speaking of "agent Gross," beginning to wonder if having him and Undav in the same camp is really doing us favors at the moment

 

[The Wookiee]

Kieron Trippier ?

 

[Hugo Rune]

Kieron Trippier ?

Lots of money and rest for him in the Saudi Semi-Pro league.

 

[Terry Butcher Tribute Act]

Beginning to think whatever deal we had lined up has fallen through for whatever reason. Perhaps we changed our mind on Henderson

 

[The Fits]

This came from Naylor so no reason to believe there was ever anything in it

 

[hans kraay fan club]

De Zerbi has just signed Pierre Emil Hjoberg. It was probably him…

 

[B-right-on]

We can only hope

I read somewhere Liverpool were in for him not sure how true that was.

Not necessarily. Contracts typically end on 30th June each year and a lot of senior pros take time to weigh their next decisions before taking their potentially final contract somewhere.

I expect a lot of them have Saudi offers as well as more financially lucrative offers on the table, so signing for us may be just one of the options. I'd be surprised if we did change tack on this entirely though. Right now we have Steele (33), Dunk (32), Webster (29), Veltman (32), Gross (33), Milner (38), Welbeck (33), and March (30 - Jeez, how did that happen?!) that fit the brief of "senior pros" so, if we do lose Gross, I would expect one more player to come in

Thought we might have put in an offer for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (35). But, nope he's just buggered off to the Saudis this past week on a two year deal

Lallana & Gross gone, surely another will be coming in soon.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Michael Owen here we goooooooo!

 

[Flounce]

Michael Owen here we goooooooo!

I’m more in the Kanchelskis camp

Ruel Fox

 

[Munchkin]

I was told the player we were interested in was Luca Modric and initial talks had taken place before he decided to extend his contract at Real Madrid.

Dunk, Veltman, Milner, Welbeck, Steele?

Dodged a bullet there then.

The Eric Dier thread today has reminded me of this thread.

I wonder who the experienced pro was - if, indeed, the club did have a specific individual in mind.

Kanchelskis.
