SuperSAINT Posted 28 January, 2018 Share Posted 28 January, 2018 You know this deal will get done in time for us. WEST BROM READY DEENEY BID West Brom are ready to pay £18m to bring Watford captain Troy Deeney to the Hawthorns. The struggling Baggies have been goal-shy this term and sit 19th in the Premier League table, and Alan Pardew's attacking options were further compromised when Hal Robson Kanu limped out of Saturday's 3-2 win against Liverpool with a hamstring injury. Watford had been holding out for £25m for their captain but are thought to be ready to offload him for a cut price in order to relieve themselves of his £70,000/week contract. Ali Gabr is undergoing a medical at Albion today ahead of his loan move from Zamalek, with the Egypt international set to become the club's first January signing.

Dusic Posted 28 January, 2018 Share Posted 28 January, 2018 Key one is adding some attacking pace. If we don't do that then its a ****ing awful window - selling our best player and just replacing Austin. Carrillo looks a decent signing but is a slow player, which is fine as he is a targetman. However if paired with say JWP and Tadic then its too slow a front three to be effective unless we have 75% possession every game. Next few days are huge for Reed. We have told everyone who our target is, so go and get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angelman Posted 29 January, 2018 Share Posted 29 January, 2018 SSN reporting Pelle to West Ham... Seems a typical West Ham signing. They'll over pay in fees and wages for someone who will have no resale value. Whether he does well or not is another question. I like him, always did when he was with us. Can't think that a year or two in China will have done anything for his game though. It will be interesting to see whether the £260k a week in China, or the £100k+ at WHU wins the day. His contract runs out at the end of December 2018 and I would be surprised if the Chinese take the option of extending for another year. If he can get a 3 year contract at WHU on decent money, I guess he will, like Fonte, gladly take the money and put towards the retirement fund.

Evil Monkey Posted 29 January, 2018 Share Posted 29 January, 2018 23 goals and 13 assists in 2 Premier League seasons before this one. Yeah Deeney is well ****. Would've taken him here above Carillo. He's a bully. Strong, quick, good in the air, and takes pens. And would probably stick around if we went down, and get the goals to get us back up. Happy with Carillo for now, but I can't understand the idea that Deeney wouldn't have been a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verlaine1979 Posted 29 January, 2018 Share Posted 29 January, 2018 Always pace. Every club, every forum. JWP and Tadic wide create a decent amount. Boufal central has some pace, have it at full back. Pace outside the top 6 nearly always comes in limited footballers. Zaha is the best outside the big clubs for pace, yet his decision making final third still isn't brilliant. Redmond has pace, but he's pretty poor overall. Long has pace, and he's gash. I'd far rather have decent footballers. If you have a decent, balanced, organised side, you don't need endless pace. Redmond doesn't have pace. He's got a yard of acceleration at best to create space, but no flat out pace at all really. Top speed is on a par with JWP if I remember that leaked spreadsheet correctly.

Selling their best players to a rival...... and yet people think we have it bad If you think things are bad amongst our fan base, you should of heard what the Watford fans were saying about their team on Saturday. They aren't happy bunnys and were basically sounding like a lot of our fan base at the moment in saying that they are already down. They said that since they picked up injuries to key players they have been rubbish with no fight and no idea, players picking up their pay whilst trying to engineer moves away. They're also not that happy about their new manager but also said Silva wasn't good either. So there is still hope for us yet, there have been signs of improvement in the team's play and even on Saturday the players showed enough to get the crowd behind them. We only need a couple of results and the pressure shifts over to the likes of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful player, and I couldn't understand how he kept on getting picked. Same for Fraser. It has taken MP an awful long time to realise how cack they are.

I wonder if the reason Redmond was continually picked is that the manager relied on him to carry out his instructions. In other words, keep possession at all costs, play cautiously, don't take risks. The fact that we've looked better recently without him in the side has probably forced Pellegrino into a rethink, either about the personnel but also (hopefully!) about the tactics.
