    Told he can leave WBA this month,.reports say they want £4m. Creative skillful attacking midfielder, reckon he's a Mon style signing. Don't know what has happened down there but I've been impressed when I've seen him. Anyone think he's worth a punt?

    A lad with a hell of a lot of ability who seems to have dropped off a bit.

    Considerably more creative than what we have, I'd say £4million is pretty low risk.

    Especially if that is offset by 2-3m selling Meyler and Vaughan

    Aye, I remember a few years back the lad was smashing them in for fun, think he got a knock just before the start of the season and then Morrison & Brunt, both quality, came into their own.

    I think this would be a smart signing, he's one of them lads that's always looking forward with the ball, we need that.

    I think he's a decent little player and better than what we have.

    They still want Gardner apparently so straight swap?

    Would not be the worse signing in the world ,but I think we should be looking for players with a bit more quality

    And that's why west brom are prepared to release him. ****e.... Mush, Vaughan is no different to Colbeck, Larrson, Catts. No of them can play it forward. You are entitled to your opinion.

    I agree none of them can mate, I absolutely agree.

    Catts is showing signs of improvement there though, the rest, not at all.

    We are desperately bad CM.

    Are we in a positino where we can dismiss a player such as GD?

    I don't think we can.

    Surly it can't be hard, to receive a ball with your back to goal, turn on the spot and move forward and pass. Such and easy thing to do yet so hard in the mind of a footballer. What do they know that we don't... Fingers crossed we get someone in who can do a job.

    I reallly like Gardner & think he still has a lot to offer us. Sad to say but at the minute our CM Gardner is our best RB
