Interesting line up for under 21s tonight. No first team players in it suggesting Gil, Grealish, Adama, Ayew, Veretout etc will play against Notts

Lescott to sign soon
Turned down a new contract at West Brom, wants to join Villa.
£1m deal once West Brom sign a defender.

According to Talksh1t, "West Brom are targeting Manchester United's Northern Ireland defender Jonny Evans, 27, in their sights as defender Joleon Lescott, 33, is told he can leave The Hawthorns" The question is, should we be targeting Evans rather than Lescott?

I'm being told this morning we will be spending around another 30 million this window. 15 on the cb from Monaco and 15 to 20 on a proven goalscorer at the top level were the words used. Tim is looking to sell up to 5 players raising 10 to 15 million. This means lerner or someone is willing to put about another 20 million in. That would still only be a net spend of 20 to 25 million with all the ins and outs so let's pray this comes off I say.

Would love this to be true but can't see it happening.

I would have to doubt this based on the fact that there isn't a chance of anywhere near £10 million being raised for the deadwood Sherwood wants out.

What I would say is net spend so far is approximately £5 million and RL has generally provided £20m of transfer kitty each year.

I would expect that Lescott will be the CH at around £2.5m. don't believe the link to the Monaco CB to be honest. that would leave funds (hopefully) for a goal scorer

I wouldn't be surprised if we don't have to sell to buy. TS coming out and saying so just seems like another case of blowing smoke, may be keep prices down. Doesn't really seem like his style to show his hand, so while he's hoping to move players on I don't think he'd be telling the press his financial/transfer situation.

Transferleague.com has our net spend over the last five years totalling £31.65m and £6.3m a season. I think our business is done unless TS works magic and gets mega bucks for our outcasts.

Ok ill show my hand a bit here. I'll tell you for certain that two more will definitely come in.

Agree0 Disagree1

Is one of them Rodwell because he is definitely coming every year KV?

I would hazard a guess that you know no more than the rest of us.but fair enough I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 arrivals before the window closes.

1 being Lescott and the other being a striker

don't know if I'm being too ambitious here but I have a feeling that we might be in for berahino. if you think about it logically, he is young & english and a goal scoring BPL proven ST. seems like a sherwood-esc kind of buy and with all the rumours we have been linked with it wouldn't surprise me if we were one of the clubs knocking on the door. know we are going up against Spurs who are a much bigger attraction but you never know.
thoughts????

Apparently Tony Pulis has said that 15 teams are interested in signing him, so it wouldn’t surprise me. I’m not sure we have the financial clout to ward off 14 other teams and they might be reluctant to sell to us being rivals. If we can get him at a reasonable price, I think it would be a good acquisition. We need someone who is very quick to partner Gestede/Kozak and make us more effective on the counter attack - like a good version of gabby!

how many young and english players did TS buy to make you thing he's after young and english??? Your just plucking a ST out of the air.

if I recall ruggerz- sherwood mentioned earlier in the window that he is looking for english players but is being priced out of them. I would say that bringing in berahino (BPL goal scorer) for let's say around 20 million isn't really asking for to high of a price or pricing him out(considering how much a BPL proven goal scorer is worth in today's market eg benteke & bony went for over 25 million). everyone wants austin to come in(including me) but I believe that spending the extra 8/10 million on someone like berahino is worth it due to his age & ability to develop and let's be honest get one over the baggies.
