Yep. Club confirm he’s being “tracked” and that they “are interested” in Tau in an Argus story this morning.

GM is all but done, a ruthless club would wave goodbye and have him leave on such a high.
Instead he'll play out a cameo season.
As said before I still have high hopes for Locadia but that isn't based on what he's done for the Albion, despite being plenty fit enough to play from 5th round of the FA Cup onwards.
There's definitely room for another striker behind him and Andone.

Glenn himself said he sees his role changing to being more of a squad player but you do need a squad! He is an excellent option based on last season. Andone's style of play is going to make him a prime candidate for the hook on 70 mins. But yes, as I mentioned earlier, I think there'll be another incoming.
The thought of Groß + movement in front of him very exciting.

5 minutes ago you said he was “disinterested”. Now you have “high hopes”
And now Murray should be “leaving on a high”
when a minute ago he was well past his use by date, and at fault for Albion only scoring 34 goals this season (most of them against West Ham”) because he’s er, old.
I can’t keep up.
No I didnt.

Compete, yes, but we also need cover, I can't see how Propper / Stephens / Kayal will be able to cover 2 starting positions, plus the obligatory 67th minute sub for a whole season.

Quite. Nobody seems to have twigged that we don't have any cover for Gross either. Perhaps Propper could do it or we could move to a different formation, but that just makes more depth in CM all the more important.

Agreed. Must a real decent signing though, hopefully better than what we have just to push the other three harder.

Baldock could also fill the Gross slot if needed, but l agree another signing to play up front would be very welcome. As l said earlier though, if past seasons are anything to go by, l wouldn't be at all surprised to see us start the season with what we already have.
Unless they specifically want to go, I can't see either Baldock or Hemed leaving the club, unless it is for serious money of course, as both signed contract extensions relatively recently.
As things currently stand, these are one and the same problem / solution. ie Gross IS the cover for the three centre midfielders, just as Propper IS the cover for Gross' position.
Not sure exactly what style of player the recruitment team will be focused on, but it is pretty clear that one more body is required in the central midfield area.

And heaven help us if we lost Gross and Propper at the same time with the current squad; at least we'd find out if the dynamic U23 midfield is up to it !

However with only 25 squad places up for grabs I feel the space will be very limited here and that spells the end for hemed and Probably Baldock..

Apologies if there has been a more recent where we are update but Ezri Konsa has signed for Brentford.

Argus have the best current round up via
http://www.theargus.co.uk/sport/alb...nor_Goldson_close_to_joining_Glasgow_Rangers/
TLDR. Albion still keen on Liam Moore, waiting for Sunderland to respond to their McNair bid, and are clearly looking for a striker - Tau is being tracked.
ie: A new CB, CM, a forward and probably a winger is on their shopping list, this summer. Preferably HGPs
And Baldock, Hemed, Skalak, Norwood will join Goldson in the opposite direction if they get decent offers.
Losing both at once would be difficult, and would probably need a shift in formation - Stephens and Kayal in the middle, and Andone off Murray

We'd have a very light bench for that game.
