His injury cost him his place in the Portugal squad for Euro 16.
Should we be aiming higher and looking at the Spanish or German squads ?

Fair enough BV.... Maybe he would be the business.
Doesn't say a great deal about the current Portugal squad mind.

I can't believe how SMALL time some supporters STILL are, Dick Tight is NOT chairman anymore. We are BIG time and we should be looking to SING players from clubs who are BETTER than us and can take us UP not FOREIGN noddies and NOBODIES.

I genuinely don't think it's that out of the question.
Ince and Caskey are both young, English midfielders with Championship experience. Caskey is also a regular in the U-21 set up. These are all things that add to their transfer fees. In the current market, it's not out of this world to expect 700k for Ince and close to 1m for Caskey.
Manu has been a total flop, but he's still a young forward with a solid record abroad. Whilst we'll get nothing like what we paid for him, we should still be looking at around 300-500k for him if we're looking to offload. And that leaves Kaz, a player who has always shown just enough glimpses of brilliance to mean that somebody out there will take a gamble on him if we're looking to sell. If someone like QPR spent 2m on him and he showed the form he did at the start of this season then people on here would be saying we were mugged.
Take out your pre-conceived ideas about the players and tell me if the fees are in the right ballpark for the current market.
A 22 year old CM, with 12 England U-21 caps and 70 games in the Championship - 1m
A 23 year old CM who can also play at the back. 80 Championship games under his belt - 700k
A 22 year old winger/striker with a goal every other game record in the UEFA Cup. Cost 1.5m 12 months ago but hasn't adjusted to his new squad. A gamble. 500k
A 25 year old winger who's played over 100 times in the championship. Unstoppable when on form. Still not reached his peak yet. 1.75m
If we were lacking in those areas and signed players with that sort of pedigree for those prices I think the majority of our fans would be happy with our business tbh. Are those players worth 4m to us? No, not at all. Does that mean it's unreasonable? No.

Might be worth having a punt on seeing if Boro want rid of Jordan ROADS, Krankie didn't seem to want him and as he is still there you can't see him playing much for him
Dicko (Wolves) subject to his knee injury passing a stringent test.
But otherwise Lookman (but Lookman is one for the future. Charlton would be best to keep him and I think they will go straight back up).
I would prefer Will Buckley back than Glenn Murray. He would have to get involved in the game much more. The trick for getting bargains is to find players that are up and coming, or were good once and have lost their way. And are not past their prime.
Zaha might get into our side?

I'm not suggesting there's no merit (say Ulloa, at least) to seeking out ex Albion players. But is there any other club I wonder, where the supporters feel the need to constantly look backwards in an effort to move forward?

I find it hard to believe other fans are as narrow minded as so many on NSC.I'm not suggesting there's no merit (say Ulloa, at least) to seeking out ex Albion players. But is there any other club I wonder, where the supporters feel the need to constantly look backwards in an effort to move forward?

Would the fans accept Gaston Ramirez after his cry baby antics got Stephens sent off ?
Currently a free agent . . .
I realise he's not a striker but he's decent and available

My objection is signing players well past their prime or over priced inform players rather than genuine quality and young enough to worth a transfer fee,
I've no objection to the signing of the likes of Glenn Murray, but they have to be worth their wages and all transfer fees for older players are like wages, a total loss. Young players make more sense as of the choice is right their value increases. They have to quick enough to cope with the Premier League though.
