Transfer rumour: West Brom poised to pounce on Crystal Palace defender.

I actually like Joel Ward and I have nothing against signing him. Tony Pulis knows him very well from his Crystal Palace reign where he used him in his natural right back role (8 league games) as well as left back (12 league games) and defensive midfield (6 league games).

If he is to sign (story could be false) I can see him being first choice right back (Dawson second choice) with Nyom becoming first choice left back with Marc Wilson as second choice. That would mean Brunt being back in midfield permanently. It wouldn't be perfect but it would be better than what we have currently.
