This is brilliant - I take back all complaints. This is a squad, a real squad now, just a striker to add and it will be no complaints from me. Unless they all get stuck in reserves and don't get to play!

I think we still have a big hole on the pitch, the one where the player who take the ball from the defensive players and give it to the striker is supposed to be. Seriously though I think Burke can play on either wing and through the middle, which is the position the Scotland manager likes to play him, cutting in from just inside the winger

I'm just worried about his name.

How the hell do you make up a chant for him?

His surname is pronounced as Kree-koh-vee-ack so good luck finding a song to fit.  

Kree-koh-vee-ack Doo be doo doo.
He`s going to score a goal or two.

Fook me
Percy at the telegraph as reported he has flown in to the UK and is having medical at
Arsenal




Ok he is actually at WBA
But I still can't believe it but looks like it's happening folks

Gerry Francis is on Sky this morning. He stated that The Baggies would be mentioned a lot over the next day and a half.

My only concern is the lack of attacking players being mentioned. Could also be the end of Yacob if the names rumoured to be coming in actually happen.

Going to be an interesting day and a half!

Birmingham Mail reporting "Krychowiak is en route to England for a medical" AT THE ALBION, the Arsenal, that link makes more sense.

Back to Krychowiak, this is his twitter feed, its in polish (I think) but there is a name mentioned a lot by others you may recognise. Do we have any polish speakers on here?

Krychowiak and Gibbs would be great additions. I'm not holding my breath on them...

If nobody leaves, I still think we need a centre half as well.

If Chadli / Evans / Rondon go, I think they would need to be replaced too. In a way, I'd like to see Chadli stay, as I think he could do well playing just behind the striker with better players around him. Suspect Burke might already be his replacement though.

Edit: Gibbs done on 4yr deal. Looks a bargain at £5-£7m.

Well I'll be blowed, we have actually brought a real left back.

1 in, 1 of a few hopefully

And just for Beefy wearing THE shirt

Gibbs is a great signing and finally gives us a natural left back. I also hope we sign both Krychowiak and Souza because they are different types of players. Krychowiak is a tough tackling holding midfielder whereas Souza is a tall, tough tackling central midfielder with Brazilian flair.

DM - Krychowiak and Barry
CM - Livermore, Morrison and Souza.

It's a mystery as to where Yacob fits into the squad with the possible addition of Krykowiak.
