Not seen such Bravery!
Doesn't matter when.
It's ALWAYS negative and gloomy from Barber in the transfer window.
JUST ONCE, wouldn't it be refreshing to have a positive interview ?

I'm not worried in the slightest. Still plenty of time until the season starts (and after that). If the brazilian had passed his medical we would have had 4 players in by which compares very favourably with the rest of the league. Plenty of teams haven't signed anyone.

The other teams in the Prem have more settled Prem squads so will need less bolstering than we do so wouldn't expect them to sign as many
I'm still assuming we are after two loans (in Gomez & Brown). Hopefully these should not be too hard to get over the line.
In which case, we've got 6 weeks to find the extra few permanent players we need (winger, striker & central midfielder). No reason to panic just yet but I will admit to a yearning for 'flair'!

I'm sure we will be fine, it's just part of the emotional roller coaster of supporting the Albion. I would like to see some movement though.
I tend to agree but let's see. David Beckham didn't have pace and I don't think Skalak is particularly weak, just goes to ground easily (like a lot of PL players). Didn't really get into his rhythm last season at all but his ability to provide a good cross might actually mean he's MORE important in the Premier League, where chances will be at a premium.
Spot on.

I'm officially worried now.
We were promoted early which should have given us time to get in early on our prefered targets so that they can integrate into the squad, however we have been slow out of the blocks and the silence is deafening.
Currently we will struggle big time with the lack of attacking quality in the squad for this level.
The Austrian and GroBs may turn out to be good signings but they are totally unproven at this level and may not acclimatise to Premiership football so not a given, I really hope we sign some proven Premiership players soon or at least try and pick up some of the top talent from the Championship.
Trying to keep the faith knowing we like to keep our business quiet but getting harder everyday and now influential players picking up injuries is making it even harder.

strong and stable with me, or...
Arnautovic £24m.
If that is the value for an average 7 goals per season PL striker (4 of those goals against M'Boro and Sunderland), then I'm out of the 'signing PL experience'...

Ooo! Ooh! I get to do one of these!
Why do you want us to sign rugby players?
Haha yes, well maybe adopting a physical approach will be the answer
plus wages will be cheaper and fit with the clubs way of thinking on these thingsThis. There'll be players to be had as the transfer window moves on and agents, players and clubs get more realistic. In the meantime, we pursue the undervalued players from abroad that we can afford. If we have to spend big in a panic, may as well do that in August rather than straight away like Huddersfield.
I don't particularly rate him either, £24m is a joke, but Stoke often play him in roles marauding down the left and right wings.

As long as we don't have any MAVERICKS and we're as cool as Iceman, we should be safe.
