Was he once a sure shot Big Grin

A loan from who, unless I have the wrong one the only Richie Cannon I know of is a free agent, after being released from Boavista in July.

Unsure if he's been released, financial contract issues. Boavista may still hold his registration. If he's been released that would make him a free agent. Tbh I'd never heard of him.

Anyone else heard a rumour about us rejecting a £2 million bid from Stoke for TBA?

UPDATE: Looks like genuine report.

#StokeCity have had a £2m bid rejected by #WestBrom for striker Brandon Thomas-Asante. Considering another. Other clubs monitoring situation as well. #WBA https://skysports.com/football/live-blog...son-latest

Apparently Chairman Lai has said he wants 4 strikers...

Looking at a Train Driver, a Nurse, a Doctor and a Postman.

Regardless of how much Stoke offer, if we sell BTA to them or anyone, it will tell us all how low our club has sunk. He may not be the most clinical finisher we have seen, but he’s a young, talented guy who is, for me, one of the few bright sparks at the Hawthorns. And to be replaced by whom? A recently signed unfit striker, a crocked striker or an academy player, none of whom Corberan trusts. If we are even given the possibility of a sale a minute’s thought, those responsible should be taken out and shot Angry

Update on the Update:

E & S now reporting we have turned down 2 bids from Stoke.

The original reporter at SS is saying other clubs are watching with interest.

Two other rumours doing the rounds one that we are now considering a £3.5 mil bid from Stoke, the other that the board have said the only sale we will make now is possible Diang the reason given, 'for fear of antagonising the fanbase and CC'. I find the second hard to believe that the board would ever make a public statement like that, even if it were true.

Lots of rumours around West Brom and potential last day dealings.

But we have a first class record of screwing it up with last minute deals and so have we learnt from the past or will we slip up in the eleventh hour on paperwork, again?

Most transfer deadline days in recent years have been disappointing...

But this year my expectations are zero, so it's pretty much impossible for me to be disappointed, whatever the outcome.

I suppose that's the one positive about our dyer financial situation...

I expect us to sell everyone that we can get a bit of cash for, and replace with anyone we pick up for nothing. Just so we're able to field a side.

I don't expect us to be able to pick and choose who comes in. I think we'll be left with players nobody else wants. Corberan will be tasked with performing a miracle to get us into the playoffs.

The strange thing is, I'd typically be gutted at the prospect of selling our "top" players and replacing with freebies. But with our current squad, I'm not really endeared to anyone except for Okay Yokuslu and Grady Diangana. And in the case of the latter, it's for his exploits years ago. I could see sense selling him given his performances in the last 2 years and his injury record.

I do think fans would kick off if we sold BTA to Stoke. Firstly, he's a likeable character who works hard. Secondly, it would make a mockery of the club if we sold a fan favourite to Stoke of all teams. That said, I'm still not convinced he's able to lead the line on his own at this level and see him as more of a good League 1 player. I can't imagine he'd be the man to fire Stoke (or anyone else at this level) to promotion. However, if he did go, the club would have to replace him with someone to excite the fans. That's the one deal which would need serious appeasement.

The sad thing is, if anyone is sold for cash, we know the money will just disappear into paying off debts and the Chinese "black hole". Nothing will be reinvested into the playing side. I think today will consist of us calling every club we can just to see if there's anyone they need to loan out to get them off their wage bill.

Breaking news.

The board at West Bromwich Albion report that they made multi million pound bids for 24 players on deadline day, but unfortunatly no clubs wanted to sell, despite the players being very keen to join up with CC and the team.

Ooops, released the statement a day early.
