Stairs, love your optimism, but mine is running thin, for the last few years we have been saying yeah barry or Smith or Jones will do for a year or two, next year we will rebuild the squad for the future. But our squad is getting older and older, I, for one, am fed up with stop gaps, sticking our fingers in dykes, temporary measures, it is time for a long term plan, bring in players for now and a few years, youngsters who can do the job and grow into the squad of the future.

Stop retiring a 37 year old and bringing in a 35 year old ....... short sighted and a dangerous game.

To be stable and established we need a rolling programme of recruitment, retention and release ......

Rant over ....

Come on you Baggies!!!!!!

Maybe not all bad, one year deal, things to prove?, big name might attract other names ........ keep stretching for those straws ........ might get to clutch one.
