    Dont think he has featured for West Brom this season? Maybe in the league cup? Not on the bench yesterday. And no news on a new contact?

    You get the impression they just did not want to sell to a rival?

    He's had a knee injury for the past few weeks. But WBA will probably look to move him out in January as they seem to have plenty of options up front.

    I know hindsight is a wonderful thing but I wish we'd have signed Austin for £2M

    Yeah but they wouldn't sell for £2 million at the time. What did QPR pay in the end, I doubt £2 million?

    I haven't really being following the Championship this season but hasn't most of his goals come from the penalty spot?

    Long hasn't been in any of WBA's squads since deadline day I think. Clearly Clarke was talking bullshit when saying Long was still a big player for them...

    Clarke is a twat. Though he did beat United at OT, which is always great to see.

    If they are willing to sell him to us I cant see him going for more than 2.5. No one is going to pay 6.5 mill for a player with 6 months left on his contract and who has no wish to stay at his current club.

    Ah, but can he score from the penalty spot ? Regularly, that is ?

    My mistake. I thought I read it was £2M.

    £4M is too much of a gamble still.

    I can imagine us getting Long for a reasonable fee in January.

    I agree - the big thing for us getting a good striker is to ensure that we are well placed in the league (which I believ we will be btw) if we are mid table and screaming out for a striker I think we could have a few half decent premier league strikers (2nd or more likely 3rd choice) interested in us as they know they're guaranteed game time with us and we're unlikely to be relegated

    Do you know how great it is?

    I had a 13 fold on, £5 to win £2600, 12 wins out of 13.

    Guess which ****ing banker ****ed the ****ing thing up?

    Yep that's right. ****s.
