Salop, Drewks,

Unfortunately I can't argue with any of the points you have made, I too am worried about the start of the season, we all know our squad has been paper thin for years, the takeover was in part to blame, if your selling why spend, if your buying wait until purchase confirmed, result .... limbo. Our squad has gone from thin to anorexic. We all know we need bodies thorough the door, so does every other club, price jumps up silly, I would not pay £40k for a mini I would not pay £30m for troy deeny, there in lies part of the problem. Steady squad growth every year prevents desperation and being held to ransom ........ currently we are staring down both barrels of a sawn off.

If I had the answer I would be rich and the owner of the pride of the Midlands ...... I can but dream.

(Salop, yes read your PM thanks, looking like being mid to late September.)

West Brom linked with Barcelona's Vermaelen.

Sounds good in the headline until you read the first few lines.

"He joined Barcelona from Aresnal in 2014, so far so good, he has suffered three years of injury problems, not so good, he has two years left on his contract, last year loaned out to Roma where his injuries continued.

Why are we constantly linked with crocks, injury prone and risky players.

Spend some cash and let's build on our advantage over the rest of the Midlands before we join them again.
