Paul Scharner in action for West Brom

Paul Scharner will be one of the figures of key interest for Baggies boss Roberto Di Matteo in a low-key reserves clash tomorrow.

The Austria international will be given a run-out against Bolton reserves in a behind-closed-doors game at their training ground.

Di Matteo said the 30-year-old former Wigan player is up-to-speed and in line for his debut against Spurs at The Hawthorns this weekend.

“He’s physically in good shape and we’ll see how his match fitness is tomorrow,” said the Albion boss.

    Song idea!

    We got him on a free transfer Scharner Scharner, he comes all the way from Austria Scharner Scharner. He beats attackers in the air because of his mulit-coloured hair. Paul Scharner is Albions 33

    What do people think?

    lw,
    I don’t mind you visiting our site but please
    be truthful in your posts. Quite a few clubs
    wanted Scharner but he chose ALBION. He will leave but only wants to go if we are relegated
    to which ALBION agree. Yes, I would want to leave especially if I had to play clogball at wolves.

    After shipping all those goals last season Wigan have finally got rid of their awful central defensive pairing Bramble and Scharner.
    The latter hasn’t been in a relegated side yet. First time for everything and he’ll have plenty of experience around him when his current side do drop.

    18 bandit-I admit,you must know a lot about defending,you should when wolves keep 10 players at the back in most games.Scharner should have an easy game against your lot,he’ll find it hard to see a wolves player who looks like he knows how to score.

    NO.6. Dorrans loves Brum, try not to do the Hah hah hay thing when you think youve said summet funney. We will work it out for ourselves. This also applies to jock the hat.JARVO will play for England, and then i will laugh. Hah hah hah.

    cantello rocket.no.20. Just a quick one, but i had the pleasure of having a pint with MR.Cantello the other week in the gardeners arms in manchester ( hes in there quite a lot i belive ) and he admitted that wolves are the bigger of the two clubs. iknow,i know. but it was late. About 5.30pm. Some drink to remember some drink to forget.

    22 lone wolf-why would Len ‘admit’ to one club being bigger than another?Was he being interrogated?It also begs the question,if wolves fans keep banging on about being the ‘bigger’ club,how come Albion win almost every derby game?If wolves are ‘so big’,it must be embarrassing to have underachieved for so many years.What say you?
