Didn’t the “want away three”‘s contracts all end on 31st May?
Does this mean we’re no longer paying them?

I guess KP (to QPR) and Gera (to someone with European games next year) are off, but I can’t see Alby leaving.

Rumours down here in Cardiff are again linking us with Joe Ledley – he turned down the Dingles last year saying he’d only go to a Premiership club and that he wanted to help get Cardiff there.
His profile has obviously risen since then – although I’ve been singing his praises on other forums for 3 years now – and with his goal in the FA Cup semi I’m sure the price has too!

£3m is being branded around – still a bargain IMO.

we will need a couple of keepers in goal each match if we don’t buy any quality defenders..

You could do with 2 keepers. 1 on the left side of the goal and the other on the right. :-)

I for one am getting a little frustrated with the KP and ZG situation. We heard before Gera went away on international duty that he was going to make a decision, then by the end of last week, then by the begining of this week. Now I know we live in the age of the bosman ruling but I think we should set the deadline for a decision not the player, after all no-one is bigger than the club although I do want him to stay. We need to get on with our planning if he does leave how long are we supposed to wait?. As for KP again what’s going on? I think he deserves the two years to be honest after what he has done for the club in the previous two season and it’s not going to break the bank. Albey with all due respect sorry but I couldn’t give two hoots may be a little harsh but I think Clem is better than him and Barnett.

As for Joe Leadly do we really need him? or is it as a replacement for Gera? I didn’t expect things to happen quickly as this is the Albion we are talking about but without loans and paperwork being made permanent we haven’t done anything yet!!!!

I agree with earlier post about the keeper sign that Hannerman from Reading and whilst we are at it Kevin Doyle, James Harper and Ingamarson. 4 players 12 million or so and would give us a premiership spine any takers?

Optimistic wolf, v funny but on a more serious note you can keep your crocks mate, seems you like to collect them. Don`t rate Murray anyway, never lived up to his early potential.
Sorry to hear kites is off, now that will hit youre already very poor season ticket sales.

The trouble you will have is the same problem that any team going into the Prem has. When the pattern for many seasons has generally been that teams that go up go straight back down, players are reluctant to go to promoted teams. (Not having a dig there, just stating what happens.)

Your midfield and strikers seem okay for the Prem, but your defence will need a major overhaul. You will also ned a few squad players, who will be decent players, but will be willing to play second fiddle to the starters. (Young and hungry anyone?)

Best of luck to you anyway. (Even though it be a little grudgingly.)

I see according to this paper that Middlesbrough are about to make a formal offer for Gera…

Now I may be a tad biased – but how is that taking a step up ? If you had to name the clubs that will fight it out for survival next season they would be right in the middle of it… same with Wigan.

I can’t see why he would trade the goodwill he has at the Albion for Middlesbrough – unless it was for a huge wage increase.

I can understand if he goes to a club playing in Europe next season – but to move sideways seems pointless.

BTW – Frazier Campbell – offered to Hull for £5M …… JP/TM are you listening ….. (please).

26 – Matt Murray is a class keeper (yes, it does hurt to write it), but saying Schmeichel only could be considered better is ridiculous!!

I’m sticking with Hannemann and Sorenson, both been there, seen it and done it before. The new keeper needs to be English speaking, that’s why he said he didn’t throw Danek in last season, so no European bargain hunting for this one Mogga.
Sunderland had to spend £9million quid on a keeper, but he helped keep them up so was he worth it????

24,malvenwilf, surely the best goalkeeper is the one who won the golden gloves,after all we did have a shakey defence daint we? boing boing

I don’t think we need to worry too much about the lack of activity on either new signings or the Hawthorns three. Players are with international teams or on holiday. None of the other clubs are doing much actual business at the moment, most of what’s being reported on is for the sake of newspaper sales and to feed our thirst for football in the close season.
Matt Murray has always struck me as a top keeper but (A) He isn’t match fit and is unlikely to be for quite a few months and (B) At his age with the serious injuries he’s suffered he may not get back to his best. It gives me no pleasure saying this and I wish him the best, he seems like a decent bloke.
