Get the bulldozers in, clear the whole site, build an Albion museum and a nice car park on the ruins Whistle

How about a Seal Sanctuary in addition to the car park?
John Percy is reporting that we want Romaine Sawyers from Brentford in addition to Bobby Reid.

So we are linked with 2 players we released, Sawyers and Roofe. Not very inspiring. Who next? Berahino? Tyler Roberts?, the latter I would have kept. I watched him at Walsall, his movement and finishing was very good.

A shambles of a season on and off the pitch, in coming players and those we let go! The Jonny Evans saga, from £25m to £3m and even that is in 2 instalments.

I have renewed my season ticket because I love the Albion but my head says we will be here in the Championship for a while, my heart is still crushed and no matter what I do or hear it’s not getting fixed.

I don't have to much of a problem with Roofe, certainly as I do not think we should have released him in the first place. Roofe was becoming a good Championship player, but still not experienced enough to cut it in the greed league. Well now we are in the Chump, why not bring in a player who we know the capabilities of, over a player whom we think we know the abilities of?

Of course, it's all paper talk, so I'll take the links with a pinch of salt...

BUT... I'm not inspired by these names at all.

They're average Championship players at best. Roofe was good at Oxford in League 2 but hasn't set the world alight for Leeds. In fact, their fans think he's sh*te and has an attitude that stinks. Sawyers is a decent footballer, but doesn't have enough end product considering his ability. As for Reid, I've seen a fair bit of him as a friend is a Bristol City fan. He has had 1 good season and looks a decent prospect, but is largely unproven. The money being touted seems too high for a player entering the last year of his contract - I'd classify this as a gamble if it is true.

Yacob and Morrison released. Another silly decision imo. Going from bad to worse. Hopefully I start cheering up soon because fed up with everything Albion at the minute.

Have they been released or have we just given notice that their contracts are about to expire?

They are on the released list apparently. Can’t understand it.
