No, he's not; he's currently injured and CH says he hopes to see him push for a first team place once fit in the autumn. We need a first-team ready attacking midfielder.

[Albion] There is ZERO chance of SIGNING anyone today.

Where are you playing the attacking midfielder ? As with a 4 4 2 kayal and Stephens have to play central, are you suggesting 1 up front ?
Elliott Bennett in by the end of the week is my guess, we need hard working wide players of we are going 442, I still am totally unconvinced with 4 4 2 looking at our squad as it stands

Bennett? Please no...he is way, way past his best. We need Marshall in my view and if we have to up our bid to £2.5M to £3M we should. It's not always possible to get good quality players on the cheap.
I'd like to see us go in for Elliot Bennett. Yes, I know an ex player and injured last year. I still feel he'd be an excellent addition to the squad. He's still young. Had a pre season. Plus he can play wide or in behind the front man. I also believe that Hull and Norwich have agreed a price for Brady. That may well push Benno down the pecking order further.

Don't go on Bennetts loan spell that would be a big mistake, and yes I would like Marshall too, we need both desperate in my opinion, we cannot rely on lua lua and march to be fit at all, get Bennett and Marshall in please

We have players that can be in that role.. Its the worry if they get injured before he is ready, Ill grant you, but im not panicking yet about it.

Why? Most of our signings have been at 6/7 O'Clock with hardly any notice. It was only last week that they were earlier in the day. Not saying there will be signings today but evidence doesn't agree with your statement.
What else is there to go on he hasn't got much game time since then. Can't see anything on pink un if he is included much on pre season.

I would be happy if our last signing before the loan window opens was Elliott Bennett

Don't wait for me!
He'll be their right back.

Benno would be good, but we need more as the club have already said they intend to use dev squad rather than any loan window 93 day loans.

Have they?
Andy Naylor did tweet this:-

But that relates to the fact that the emergency loan system is likely to be removed for next season. It doesn't imply anything about THIS season.

Unbelievably, Chris Eagles does not have a club right now.
I think we could do a lot worse. Could be just that touch of class and creativity we need, I've always rated him. There, I said it.

Plenty on this board will only be interested in bringing back Matt Sparrow.

I can't say this raises any levels of excitement with me. He's barely kicked a ball in two seasons. Also, he's never really struck me as a hard working player. I may well be wrong, however if we are going to even attempt a 4-4-2 then the wingers we do buy need to be workaholics. He's appears to be a luxury player to me and another that doesn't have any pace. We can do better.
We are clearly struggling so Eagles or nobody then it's a no brainer.
We have 1 fit winger and as things stand will have a defender as rm. We really need 2 wingers / pace/ creativity / goals / options .
It's almost getting to the point where we are going to have to not be so fussy .
Will we singe anyone today?
This day last year Stockdale became our fourth signing of the summer so we've completed the same number of first team signings at the same stage this year, which is a concern. Also, didn't Barber say we were ahead of the game at the start of the window?
