Agree. Fantastic footballer and one I will be glad not to see facing usLooks like Huddersfield’s best player, Mooy, is on his way out. Can only be a positive for us.

I agree, there were flashes of him being at a different level to others, lost a bit of confidence though. Still a very good player...The style of play, however, is very different, no? Lots more movement and shorter passing. I could see him playing well as one of the three behind Hugill, or giving us a very different option than Hugill when we need more finesse than a battering ram...
Edit - I think he did wander around last year, as you say, but that's partly as he was getting such poor service he had to drop deeper and deeper to have any hope of seeing the ball. With a much improved midfield and defenders who can play the ball, I can see him doing better. I guess we'll see if we actually get him back!
Has the club already decided the bloke on loan from Brighton is actually rubbish, great bit of work.No I think that is off now, Dave Mac saying we’ve ended interest in him & will now try & get a striker in poss wells
We have two strikers on loan if we thought lad from Brighton was not good enough to start then why get him on loan.i get it if we had bought him as a potential top striker in a season or two but we haven't. Not keen on Wells didn't exactly set world on fire last season. Few million in the bank now and does not look like we are buying defender from Aberdeen maybe scouts can earn their wages and locate a striker from lower division for a couple of million, although Washington was hardly a success!I thought MW wanted two players for each position hence why another striker.
The boy from Brighton is also relatively young so having another proven championship player can only benefit his development
Although I'm relieved to get this perennial under achiever out of the club I still think this is a bad move for the player. He is never going to cut it in the fast paced and ultra-physical Championship. His agents should have been looking to other European leagues more suited to his style of play.Luongo gone to Wednesday (official) so that will free up some cash for Warburton to make a cheap signing. Shame McKenna seems off the radar now.

Yep! From Sky:Charlie Austin has apparently passed a medical (don't laugh) at West Brom
Yep! From Sky:
Charlie Austin has passed his medical medical and agrees a deal to join West Brom from Southampton, according to Sky sources.
The fee is believed to be around £4m; a two-year deal with an optional additional year.
If Phil Beard was involved, we will probably have to fork out a few million and pay a percentage of his wages to West Brom. He done some terrible deals for us.I wonder if we'll get anything from this deal? Surely the club had a sell on clause?
taken a massive pay cut apparently.I wonder if we'll get anything from this deal? Surely the club had a sell on clause?
