We've moved on Hobbs, Cairney, McClean & Stewart. From that lot we must have money coming back in. That needs to be allowed for when discussing how much we've spent.

Think you could expect to have about 1.5m in fees for three of those, and McClean's wages wiped off the bill. Certainly adds a bit to the kitty.
 
SSN were saying that we might see Jelavic and Long being paraded at the Jelavic press conference.
 
Twitter suggests Jela is in there at the moment so doesn't look much chance of Long joining him unless he crashes the presser.
 
Lewis, this is probably a daft question but any hints as to when a press conference is taking place or are you referring to the usual Thursday briefing? Sorry I'm looking at this on the hoof and can't access anything else at the moment!

I'm not too sure, SSN were saying we were parading Jelavic at the press conference and Long might join in. I'm not too sure about anything else bud.
 
Jelavic has been given the no.18, in case anyone cared.


Gedo had it.



Long to get no.21 (McLean)? Or will Graham leave soon enough for him to get no.9?
 
WBA have split views on their boards! Some saying long is injured too often & some say his work rate is top notch! One said he's getting paid 50k???? A lot say he goes with their best wishes!

£50K? FFS! Bloody hope not.

Did we not learn from our last **** up in this league?
 
Just reading the comments on the SSN story. One or two West Brom fans saying he doesn't score enough etc. But 90% are fans from West Brom and from various other clubs saying how good a signing this is. Saying we will be a team that nobody will want to play, we have a strong defence and now more firepower upfront.

Anybody else excited for the second half of the season?
 
According to someone at work Long on £50,000 per week, Jelavic on £45,000 a week. Both substantial increases on what they're getting already.
 
Both signings are club record signings. Ideally, I would have thought they'd be on £35k-£45k, so £50k isn't too far from what I thought.

Shane Long having his medical now. Very close to agreeing personal terms too

It gets worse. Even Robinho was better value for money than Shane Long.

This is just ****ing ridiculous.
