A friend thinks he saw him getting out of Radhi's range rover on Saturday. Hopefully just waiting on work permit for the final piece of the jigsaw! Hope Adkins decides to go full strength against West Brom and we also get to see De Ridder play.
I hope we do sign our final peice today to our squad, Then get out and show west brom what we are capable of!
Shame we're only playing West Brom XI though, and not their first team. Unless Sky Sports has it wrong
The Albion should send out a strong team, be a good tester for them against a team who play footy properly. Otherwise, whats the point? It all starts soon, very soon.
WBA will use it the same as we will and that is as a warm up game. They may not actually put out a full squad for a variety of reasons, the same as us. There will probably be numerous substitutions on either side. Sorry guys another match I cannot get to!!!! I am definitely getting withdrawal symptoms...........I am sure NA and NC looked at my schedule for the summer and said...........Ha ha........look at BT's schedule.........lets really rub it in.........lets arrange fixtures when he can't be there!!!!! Still this one is business so at least my family will be.........
You could well be right Jose-fonte-baby, I know a deal on a left sided center back is on the cards soon and for good money. Martin is probably going out on loan to Bournemouth unless say Seabourne leaves as he has attracted lots of interest. I have been told Chambers is def going but i find that hard to believe, or maybe i just don't want to believe.
I'd rather keep Martin and get rid of Seaborne personally, and tbf I actually don't think Chamberlain is going to go anywhere
Albion will have the same concerns as we had with Lambo, no point risking injury if keys players are not 100% fit to play, but I hope if we win they don't make excuses about fielding a weakened team, you can only deal with what is put in front of you, on paper they should be good enough to compete and beat us, as they are Premier and should have strength in depth. I hope we at least start with the strongest eleven available.
It is pointless keeping on about Sebo and Aaron, they play on different sides of the defence. Both have their merits both have their pitfalls, just give them a chance to break through.
West Brom are sending their reserves to Rochdale tonight - So it will be their first team squad for the game tomorrow.
If it's work permit related, then saints are beholden to the wonderful world of the civil service and how long it takes them to stamp a bit of paper. They move at their pace, not anyone elses.
I know someone will probably tell me I know nothing about football but I don't really buy the thing about left and right sided centre backs. If it was that easy you would just stick your big striker against their little defender and your fast striker against their slow defender!
I don't think there'll be any signings announced tomorrow, with the friendly in mind. So if the new signing Adkins talked about, whether or not it is Jemal, should be announced this afternoon. If not, we'll have the wait until the window between West Bromich Albion and Yeovil Town.
It's about not being turned by strikers and about distribution from defence - passing it out to the wing backs
