Let us pray!
Charlie Austin and Matt Phillips for £22 million. It's the sort of revolution we've been waiting for. I would definitely get Charlie Austin.
RE: WBA Summer 2015 Transfer Window - DanTheSmethwickMan - 03-07-2015
22 mill for Austin and Phillips?
Liverpool spent 12 on Sturridge!!! I don't know if we're being ripped off here surely we could get something better for 22 million?

I don't think we'll see a great deal of imagination in the transfer market while he's in charge

I honestly don't think you can pin any kind of concrete cash value on players anymore; the economics of football have become pure supply & demand, and every new TV deal blurs the lines even more with money flooding into the market and fees becoming more inflated.
The fact is, any football club who knows their business will know that we badly lack pace in our side and need goals. They'll also know we've got money to spend. If they've got any sense, they'll squeeze us dry in return for proven talent. We've tried going down the road of spending our money "better" elsewhere, and it's landed us with guys like Ideye (lovely bloke and flashes of real talent, but hasn't really done what we needed him to do in the long-term).
Unfortunately, I think our moneyball system died when Ashworth left, and for now we're going to have to suck it up and pay over the odds for players we need.
RE: WBA Summer 2015 Transfer Window - West Brom Strollers 1878 - 03-07-2015
Can't see us buying anymore until the takeover is done

Hope you are wrong about that Strollers.
If it's going to take upwards of six weeks for the sale of the Club to be completed, the transfer window will be nearly over by then.
That will leave us choosing our prospective new players from the 'leftovers'.
Not a happy prospect after last season's last minute transfer debacle.
Also I can't see TP staying on if his hands are tied until the Club sale is a done deal.

I think Jeremy Peace has said the takeover process won't halt or otherwise affect preparations for the new season, including getting new players.
Go to the Albion website and look under News for Official Statement, then paragraphs 3-5. Sorry, can't do C&P.

So FFP is not enforcable then..............
Manchester City are set to spend more than £100m on transfers this summer after having their transfer restrictions lifted by Uefa, with the club chasing 22-year-old Paul Pogba, Kevin De Bruyne, 24, Raheem Sterling, 20, and 25-year-old Fabian Delph. (Daily Telegraph)

Podolski to Galatasary for 2.8m !!! How can they get him so cheap??? That has got to be one of the bargains of the window.
