Goldson not fit for tonight and IF he's even started training again would need half a game against Lazio to be in reckoning for Derby IMO
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Albion] There is ZERO chance of SIGNING anyone today.
- Thread starter Bladders
- Start date
Cant help thinking if we manage to sign someone of proven genuine quality / real statement of intent it will help with those outstanding contract offers to Stephens and Kayal / Dunk situation.
Thank f k we had the Euros (however bad they were) to distract us.
Not even been any rumours of us chasing players ie like Marshall that time.
Come on Albion , give us something to get the juices flowing

I really can't believe we let two experienced defenders go without having something in the pipeline to replace them.
It really does feel we have gone back to that disastrous summer recruitment under Burke.
Come on Albion surprise us with a couple of class signings,
Most disappointing summer ever!
Mediocre weather (last week excepted) - long-range forecast is more of what we have now.
Lack of (visible) transfer activity, with just a couple of weeks before the start of the season.
Totally underwhelmed and bored.

I see it differently. The less we spend on unproven talent, the more money is left in the kitty to give proven talent (Stephens/Kayal/Dunk) better contracts.
It's been two years since the Great Sami Hyypia Loanfest - Count your blessings.
We're fighting, so far successfully, to keep our current talent against a backdrop of hemorrhaging £1.5 million every single month.
Get a grip of yourself.
So you are comfortable with the current levels at CB? I fully believe we need 4 proven CB's and which meant we needed one as soon as Greer was released. It is made additionally urgent by two of these players being doubtful for Derby. Having Bruno there or even Hall who by his previous managers admission is not ready for the championship yet would be a mistake in my mind.
Winstanley knows his onions...
Hopefully he will prove it soon
Dunk,
Goldson,
Honeymonster,
Hall.
Yes, I'm happy with that. Hall was the replacement for Greer, aka fourth choice CB.
Goldson will be back soon, and Hünemeier soon after. So I glad we're not spunking at least a years worth of wages on someone else when Dunk/Goldson will be fine for the Derby game.
What makes you think Goldson will make the Derby game?

Or only lost 2-0 at home to Boro, instead of 3-0!
Guess we will just have to agree to disagree. I think we need another CB and that as stated Hall is for DS with a view to first team. We have no indication when either of Goldson or the German will be back and if the latter end of the season proved anything we need four experienced CB on the books to cover the injuries and suspensions which will always occur.
Because it's a knee knock, which you have to be careful with. He'll get 45 against Lazio, and be fine for Derby.

Hope you are right. He picked up the knock early in pre-season in Tenerife I believe and is yet to have any game time. Even with 45 against Lazio his fitness for Derby must be questioned.
Hall is 4th choice - but was a regular for Motherwell in the second half of last season. Played 19 times for their first-team. So he'd adequate cover.
Goldson has a knee knock, and I'm sure he'll be ready to be picked re Derby. The BFG is taking longer, but will have his sights set on a return. All four all play a part this season, signing a fifth would be a tad extravagant for a club trying to hold on to it's existing talent and losing £18 million a year.

Tend to agree with that. If we're concerned about the first few weeks we should get a temporary loan in. It's a shame Dallison isn't available, but a loan or Hall should be capable for a couple of games
