West Brom boss Tony Mowbray today targeted half-a-dozen more summer signings as he admitted Robert Koren may miss the start of the season.
Mowbray’s hunt for an extra midfielder has intensified as Koren battles to recover from knee trouble in time for the August 16 Premier League opener at Arsenal.
But he has revealed he is still looking for new faces throughout the team after adding Gianni Zuiverloon, Marek Cech and Scott Carson already.
“We’re maybe looking at another five or six players,” said Mowbray. “A lot of conversations have been had and a lot of work going on.
“But it’s very rare you get all the signings you want. We may only get one or two, rather than the five or six.
“I was very happy with the players last season but football doesn’t stand still and we have to keep trying to raise the bar.
“That’s the nature of the industry and while I appreciate what the players did last year it doesn’t mean I’m not trying to improve the football club.”
Meanwhile, Mowbray admitted his fears that Slovenian international Koren may miss the start of a second successive season.
The midfielder suffered a freak eye injury a year ago and was ruled out of the start of the Championship-winning campaign.
And he will undergo scans on Monday after straining medial ligament in his right knee during the 2-1 defeat to Borussia Monchengladbach.

Whats the use in spending all this money that when you get relegated next season you will be in debt silly tesco boys
Carry on TM keep the signings coming.
Up the baggiess
IN TONY WE TRUST!
THE FUTURES BRIGHT, IT’S BLUE & WHITE!
to be honest, i think the squad we already have can stay up, but with with a few extra signings, i think that midtable is a real possibility.
boing boing
I reckon you’ve probably spent all of this seasons transfer budget on a once highly rated goalkeeper (remember Richard Wright?) and some unproven foreigners. Coupled with Moore and Bednar in the squad i can almost hear the other premiership teams quaking in their boots lol. You might need another 6 players but whether you’ll get em is another matter. Please sign one good game in six Olofinjana, that would really make me smile!!
Just love this guy. The best manager we’ve had in ages and totally agree with almost everything he’s ever said.
5 or 6 new signings eh?
2 X Centre backs
1 X striker
2 X midfielders?? (a McInnes would be great)
Baggies won’t just survive this season. I think we’ll be safe by maybe march… then end up 12-14thish
Give TOMO a massive contract. I want him here for the next 10 years minimum. If he’s still here by 09/10 i honestly think we’ll be in europe
Nice to see the gaffer going all out for premiership survival, more of the same please mogga.
No 1, its sat morning aint you got nothing better to do than read our site? I know theres a chance youaint got one yet,,, i think Prem teams 1st, then top 12 teams fizzy pop division & so on! spose cud have bin worse? cud have had a seal posting!!! the thought?
why cant the dingles,just be happy for us,im extremely happy that you are utter garbage,so why cant u lot be happy for the creme d la creme of the black country…oh its great to be a baggie..
loffingwolfor is it hoofingwolf just what division are you in as for signings wolves are the first class plonkers at that over the last ten years
notice how the 1st comment was made by a dingle nothing worth reading on your own page ehh .
1.
watford +6
——————-
wolves +5
HA HA Still brilliant!!!!
we’ve spent 13 million and if you read it he says maybe we’ll get 1 or 2.. Knowing our GREAT manager he’ll prob pick off another few gems, bit like super tex (600k) koren (300k) kim (500k)…. not a lot out of 60million but will be enough to get us 15th at least next season!
Nice knowing you wolves, we’ll never play you again!!
to all you sad dingles at least we’ve got ambition .What have you got another season in the coka cola league fighting the drop. UP THE BAGGIES!
I think we do need some more good quailty players to add to the squad you do need 23 top players as it’s going to be a hard season a centre half, centre midfielder and a forward are needed the most and with Englands no 1 in goal we will be 12th-16th i hope.
Boing Boing.
You know, im gona be honest now!”sometimes i do feel for them stafford lot? and now is one ov them times” they aint got no one to have a bit ov banter? stoke cum up & vale .well !bring on our proper DERBY! them we gid there ground too!………
The greeneyed monster is rearing its ugly dinngle head from the custard bowl again,yes we now your a sleeping(in a coma)giant with millions of fans ,and us 2 albion fans are below you.
so please go talk to them in your usual ug ug talk and leave us 2 albion fans to talk premier football.
I bet that our next summer signing is kevin thompson (rangers) i know it;)
muppet from the custard factory great to hear your footballing words of wisdom about our useless signings from such mediocre teams such as tiny Porto,liverpool,etc.When the mighty dingle crop cannot prize away such stars from Peterboro.COME ON,SOUR GRAPES WILL GIVE YOU HEARTBURN.
5. loffing wolf, I bet you are either a baggie in disquise or would desperatly love be an Albion fan the amount of time you spend on our Premiership blog.
Wolves fans you keep buying players from Charlton while we buy international players.
I bet anyone that our next signing will be kevin thompson from rangers trust me;)
Were here playin prem teams ignore the dingles as there sufferin tryin to get we we are. and as for dingles bein black country far from it there potters (reallity is only 3 true black country teams (wba,villa,blues), BOING BOING I LOVE BEING A BAGGIE
Cannot wait for the proper derby.
The bloke selling sour grapes on Wolvo market must be making a fortune, stop worrying about the Baggies and concentrate on your under achieving shower of shat.Get used to being in our shadow because you are going to be there a long time, bring on the Villa to see who the top dogs in the Midlands are.
the more littel gems ,he finds the better ,so come on tony mowbray find some more,lets make the wolves fans even more jealous ,prem roll on all the best to all ALBION FANS.
It looks like ROBERT KOREN will miss half the
season, so we must find a replacment for him.
If the season was to start tomorrow then MOWBRAY
could always feild this team.
CARSON-
HOEFKENS-BARNETT-CLEMENT-ROBINSON-
MORRISON-GREENING-CECH-KIM-
MOORE-MILLER.
Wallbrook West Brom - that’s the best description of the Dingles I have heard in years - thanks for the laugh!
It’s great being a baggie
Shows wot a good signing carson woz, that only the mighty stoke & the boggies made bids 4 him. England class, just shows how poor we r in that position.
The Dingles have sacked Wolfie as mascot and replaced him with a Green Eyed Monster!!! They have just signed an Italian kid from Heath Town called Robatele and are hoping to capture the signing of his Japaneese mate Nikkamota. C”mon yow Baggies!
6. prat!!
give him a big contract and then when you go down and you all want him out(remember Robson) it will cost you a fortune.
not too bright are you.
going down the tony moany way without a smile of course.
24. that’ll be the villa then.
followed by Wolves and Blues.
and then Walsall and Sandwell one bus stop town i suppose.
its not sour grapes its banter, ever heard of it.
18. it wasn’t that we couldn’t prise him away from peterborough we just refused to pay the ridiculous asking price you lot however seem to be willing to pay millions of pounds for rejects. the only other team that wanted Carson was Stoke and they pulled out of the deal because he was stalling.
second best to Stoke says it all.
rumor going around the prem is quick offload your crap as soon as possible before the boggies get relegated and wont buy them anymore.
WBA laughing stock of the prem before the season as even started.
buying prem rejects the Tony Moany way for millions of course.
GOING DOWN GOING DOWN BOING BOING CRASH BANG WALLYS.
passing the smethwick rangers on our way to the prem.
I’ve just put a £50 bet with Ladbrookes that we finish top 6, thats how confident I am of the Albion under Mowbray
cmon all albion fans admit it wolves are the best team in the world - a team full of young hungry players.
oh yeah a team of young hungry coke players not good enough to even scrape the play offs
rubbish west brom were so bad they could only win the league then attract players from rubbish porto and rubbish lfc
i wonder where rubbish west brom would be if we had some of those amazing players from the mighty wolves
well the answer if in the coke league
BOING BOING
IN MOWBRAY WE TRUST
p.s i trust super thick (to keep you down again)
We still got scummy wolves fans reading about WBA?? and then commenting, 1 thing i got to say, Were Up your not, and your not going to go up this year, especialy with the crap you have signed
COME ON ALBION!!!!!
As a local teams supporter I hope and wish all the Midlands teams the best of luck. Although I think I profer Wolves and Walsall the most. It would be nice to have all the Local teams in the prem de la prem.
8. your only showing off because the internet reached West nowhere last month but little did you know the rest of the world have had the internet for ages.
West Bromwich . really should have been called West Smethwick.
quality everywhere!! eat your heart out dingles!!
I hear theres a lot of shittu round west brom roads WOLVES FOR EVER
solo boggie i bet you wont be saying that end of season ha ha ha.
ooops 4-1 against a second rate german team, i bet the utd’s and chealseas and asrenals and liverpools wont sleep well with such opposition ;-), sorry i couldnt resist that one
5. Do you honestly think that there is one single team in The Championship “quaking in their boots” at the prospect of playing Wolverhamton Wanderers?
I remember this time last year, there was message after message from the same blinkered Dingles scoffing at our signings and look what happened after that!!
we are class what league are u in
bring on the villa even if you beat them you’l never be bigger then them didnt man city beat United twice last season doesn’t mean city are better then them eh
p.s n oI have nowt to read on wovles pages b4 you ask and well done for signin’ the goalie that let our nation down let’s hope he let’s you guys down
Keep dreaming Dingles, and enjoy your trip to Doncaster next year
Coseley, do you really think Birmingham is in the Black Country? Do you know the tooth fairy isn’t real?
Laughing Wolf what you know about football couldn’t even cover half a postage stsmp.
Worry about your own squad of nearly men.
Michael, what’s your problem???
Get over it dingle.
The usual 21st century definition of the Black Country, encompasses the three Metropolitan Boroughs of Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and the City of Wolverhampton.
wolves, pride of the black country x
Burtonwolf - city or no city, it’s still a dump as is most of the area!
