RE: Summer Transfer Window 2019 - 5th August - WBA-Josh - 06-08-2019

Rooney has now joined Derby starting from January.
Kemar Roofe has joined Anderlecht in Belgium from Leeds. I hope he enjoys playing for Vincent Kompany.
From what I saw of Anderlecht in their friendly with Hamburg a couple of weeks ago, Kompany wants them to play a very similar style to that of Man City. They played with a false 9 in a 433 but Roofe could be a good fit for either the central striker role where he’ll have he freedom to float around like a false 9 or as the left forward in the system.

Gayle not coming by the looks of it , Ajeti not coming ,
I hear Plan C is Scott Hogan

I am pretty certain he never played left wing either just a coin of phrase, like one from left field or thinking outside the box.
RE: Summer Transfer Window 2019 - 5th August - WBA-Josh - 06-08-2019
Mixed reports about Hogan. Some saying that we want him and others saying that he is going to be joining Stoke on loan.
He only scored twice last season in 14 league matches at Villa and Sheffield United last season and 6 in 37 the season before in the Championship. Not a great recent record.
Is only 5 foot 11 so clearly an alternative to Gayle.

Although he wouldn't be anywhere near my first choice, I think Hogan would be an improvement on what we have got if fit.
With Brentford he showed he was a threat with a team who counter quickly. He scored lots of goals on the shoulder but also combined that with a poachers instinct that neither HRK or Zohore have.
At Villa he was plagued with injury and not helped by the plodder football they played under Bruce. Maybe it didn't show him to the best of his ability.
But would represent a last resort option compared to the other names, but I think he might surprise and do okay for us if he did come in.
RE: Summer Transfer Window 2019 - 5th August - Blue Baggie - 06-08-2019
Hogan gone to Stoke thank heavens, Ajeti waiting for the Seals or WHU to make him an offer. Rooney signed up fro the Rams - but not turning up until November? I would think we have a couple strikers we are working on. We are known for pulling rabbits out of the hat at the last moment.
With agents and players trying to get the maximum returns it's all about holding your nerve at this late a stage.
Personally Ajeti we should tell to get lost - he's just money hunting. I don't want people like that at our club.
Good honest committed players are what we need, I'm tired of these money first type of players. We had enough of them over the last few seasons.
Even several of our loans have just taken the cash and give very little in return.

#avfc striker Scott Hogan is closing in on a loan move to Stoke City. #scfc . Villa have options lined up to replace him @TheAthleticUK has been told.

Update on the Gayle situation.

RE: Summer Transfer Window 2019 - 5th August - Blue Baggie - 07-08-2019
Push Edwards up top and get Tulloch warmed up. Have we forgotten we don't need people to make the numbers up. I'm tired of all transfer BS it's gone beyond my interest now. Dowling has done 2 good signings tbf. Reduced the headcount and the overhead and a surplus on transfer fees - job done.

However he wants to wait for West Ham and the premiership,
So We do West Ham's scouting for them again !!!
Then again best left if he wants to join West Ham, we have actually out bid West Ham for Ajeti so he's playing the waiting game to see if West Ham come back in to outbid us so could rumble on to deadline on Thursday.
That said if WBA had bid a week ago this would have been done without the porn merchants poking their noses in !!
Update?| #WBA
There are reports claiming that FC Basel have accepted an £8M bid from West Brom for Albian Ajeti.
However, the 22-year-old apparently has his heart set on Premier League football, with West Ham preparing to put in an offer soon.
[Football Insider] https://t.co/zyHcICltRG
Gone to West Ham apparently, £50,000 a week !
