He's wanted to leave for years, WBA play hardball but then hardly play him. Now he's down to the last year of his deal. He is waiting his contract out to leave on a free I'd imagine.

I don't think the player gives a monkey's about the game to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the player gives a monkey's about the game to be honest. The lads value must have dropped by hardly playing which will be reflected in the offer he gets, 2/3 years on a lower salary than if WBA had sold him. He's unhappy, WBA unhappy they've got no money and no player, buying club has no player. Very odd situation, WBA the biggest losers in it all and they are the ones who messed the whole thing up.

TrentVilla Posted August 20, 2016 Moderator Share Posted August 20, 2016 Seem's I'd got the wrong end of the stick on this one, I thought WBA had accepted an offer for him and that he turned a move down but that doesn't appear to be the case. What I just read is that an offer was made by Stoke but that WBA had turned it down and said he wasn't for sale at the price offered and they would have to have signed a replacement first. So I guess that could be viewed as them trying to push the price up or as a consequence of their woeful transfer window to date. But I agree with you its an odd situation as they are holding on to a player that they probably won't play and who doesn't want to play for them. So still looks like a bit of a continuation of the pissing contest between Peace and the player. Guess they will still get a fee for him even next summer due to his age. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Albion takeover hasn't been approved yet, so maybe that's holding up incomings and outgoings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 They haven't done much business so far in the window. Something very annoying about how Pulis refers to the new owner(s) as "the "Chinese" in all his press conferences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it under 23 or including players aged 23 for a tribunial? I wouldn't bank on that for a decent transfer amount...Burnley got about 6m for Danny Ings when he left and they could've easily got double that. Still think Berahino might be a last day deal. West Brom would've sold him if the Sakho move had gone through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djemba_Villan Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 To add to the SHA thread, another team who's fans are thinning. 23k there fore Everton yesterday according to my mate - and he says it looked emptier than that in the stadium. weird really as you'd think they would see this year as a fantastic opportunity to push their chest out and try to establish themselves as big dogs. Mind you...if Pulis were our manager, he short term relief that stability/solidity brings would soon descend into anger at the sheer mind numbingness of his 'style'.

StanBalaban Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 (edited) Wouldn't mind him at Villa to be fair. Could add credence to the Berahino to Stoke rumours. Edited August 25, 2016 by StanBalaban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
