Fernando Forestieri would do well in our team.

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 reckon all clubs are the same. If you asked a supporter of any club what strikers they would like to sign the players would fall mostly into one of three categories:
1. The blindingly obvious (e.g Gray, McCormack, Rhodes)
2. Those who've done well against you (e.g Vydra)
3. Former players (e.g Murray, Ulloa)
Steven Fletcher is free to a good home at the moment and only 29. If he'd come I think he's be a great player for the Albion, holds the ball up well and could do well at Championship level.
Tom Bradshaw at Walsall - consistent goal scorer. Subject to bids of £1m from Barnsley and Birmingham. Final year of his contract and will definitely move this summer.
Worth a punt at that price as Baldock's competition and cheaper than Nakhi Wells who would be my first choice for that role
Not seen him play. Might be quicker than Baldock?
No quicker but more predatory
