Reports claim former Liverpool midfielder Momo Sissoko is set to play for West Bromwich Albion in a friendly match this weekend.
According to the Daily Mail, the 31-year-old will feature for the Baggies in a match against Indian Super League side Delhi Dynamos at The Hawthorns on Saturday.
Sissoko - not to be confused with Moussa Sissoko, who Albion unsuccessfully targeted on deadline day - is currently a free agent having most recently played for Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua

This can't be due to us looking to sign him surely  , he has been a free agent since February and no club in the world has actually paid any money for him since the the 2011/12 season, since then he has been on a free or on loan, add to that no club seems to want him for any length of time.
Season Date From To Transfer Fee
15/16 20 Feb 2016 SH Shenhua Unattached -

This guy has not played at anything like a serious level since being on loan at Florentina in 2012. Undoubted a very good player back in his hayday, but so was Bobby Charlton.
Right off to bed for a nap, then when I wake up it will be the morning of transfer day again and all of this will just have been a horrible nightmare.
Sorry about the table format I did set it out but SB has taken off all of the tabs.............. damm you Sports Babble

OK now I know its a nightmare!!!!!! Is it April 1st??? Has someone lost their mind??????
After the previous player mentioned above, we are also trialling a 32 year old Marouane Chamakh, who has spent most of this year out after tearing his abductor in a reserve game, this guy is past it well and truly. I would definitely take Lambert over him anytime and I would only play Lambert when the U21's had all been used up. We would be getting rid of a donkey and replacing him with a rocking horse. Thank god Norwich are looking at him seriously and he has held talks with them so with a bit of luck he will go there!
Come on West Brom, having the oldest squad/team in the Premiership is not an accolade, it is nothing to be proud of and until teams start getting handicapped based on the age of their players it is not a record we should keep striving keep up. I know Pullis likes experience but there must be a point where still being able to move counter balances that experience, otherwise Beckham is only 8 years older. Some people (not me by a long way) doubt Rondon, but this guys "career average" is worse than Rondon's Albion average, at a goal in 4.5 games. (for information, Rondon's career average is a goal every 2.68 games). Even Lambert came in with a career average of 1 in 2.7.

Don't suppose any will matter now if they are free,
Hopefully soon the FA should sanction the takeover so maybe in January we can get some proper players in and jettison the freebies

They may be free Beefy, but there is still a signing on fee, wages and a squad place taken (the one thing we are not short of) and I doubt they would sign just until Christmas. Next summer we already have to look at replacing or renewing Gareth McAuley, Jonass Olsson, Chris Brunt, Craig Gardner, Darren Fletcher, and Saido Berahino and that is just to stand still and of course Brendan Galloway will be returning to his own club.
With our record in the transfer market over the past three or four windows, after all the promises, does anyone have faith that we can replace all of those players with suitable alternatives in just one or even two windows and that is without bringing in the extra players we already need.
I'm afraid, I'm very afraid.

Anyone watching on the Sikh Channel?
Can anyone tell me why we have trialists when the manager isn't even there?

You're right Salop - we've been saying for the last 3-4 windows that a big rebuilding process has got to happen, and it doesn't! Somehow we've struggled through.
Hopefully with the stability (and extra dosh) that the new ownership will bring, we can start getting better, longer term deals done with more suitable - not stop-gap - players coming in.
There is a chance though that EVERY club 's supporters sees their position in a similar light; player's contracts are now generally shorter and so continually coming to an end, and in these days of agents, money, and no loyalty, it would seem to me that this is the way it will now always be.
