Agree and they have a very energetic approach that means they'll score goals
We have very slow central midfielders who score and create jack shite and strikers that have less pace than a snail and if he ever gets fit baldock may add something.
Very very poor and boring tactics and the recruitment did jack shite for 3 months....
Your avatar should be changed to a ginger tom cat as all your posts stink
I get your point.
The whinging Hammers fans this weekend, will only get to see the paltry choice of fit strikers from Sakho, Ayew and Hernandez.
You didn't bring the pointless analogy of West Ham into this thread about the Albion, but you certainly finished it.
Ta.

Why do we have to explain this every year? Agents & players are angling for the best deal. They are happy to start rumours and create competition and take the best deal. Once clubs have brought in their expensive new players, certain players eventually realise that their options are closing, they may no longer have a regular place and then they are more reasonable with their demands and become more realistic options for us.
It's the road to ruin (and there's a whole list of clubs who have gone down that road) to overspend on players who are not worth the money. We will do OK. We won't be top half but we will build. If anyone is not prepaired for a few seasons of not winning more than losing then bail out now & let others take your places.

It's the completely rational concern of many fans that the Albion squad simply doesn't have goals in it at PL level.
The PL is unforgiving, containing a wealth of playing and management talent, able to identify the deficiencies of an opponent in advance. These days it's not just of case of muddling along with a win here and a draw there, get 16th place, then gradually build season by season. The club requires goals and regular results to have any chance of avoiding Championship football.
As Barber said in his BT Sport interview "Staying in the PL is everything".

Trouble is we've lost out first two games to nil. Which isnt the best form to be in when trying to intice top quality players to the club. Most prospective signings will be looking at us as relegation dead certs. Will they want to risk languishing in the Sky Bet Championship next season?
My past experience of shit transfer windows like this one is we dont tend to turn it round in the last few days.
From the thousands and thousands of players world wide, should it really be that difficult to recruit players to play in the most exciting league in the world?
Call me a doom merchant all you like, I think we've been naive this summer and ultimately I think it'll cost us a place in the Premier League.
Shame, particuarly given how long its taken to get here. Which is why I intend to enjoy every second of it...win, lose or draw.

Buying players from a poor Dutch league is more of a worry.
Still let's just enjoy the Premier League journey and hope we can survive.
guess we should hire you as chief scout
Because we have a large percentage of utter simpletons following us.
I cannot believe the amount of bedwetting going on over the club identifying a medical problem with a player we were about to spend £12 million on. Can somebody please tell me how this is a bad thing? I don't understand why the attitude isn't "Well done the medical team, sounds like we've dodged a bullet". It is just bizarre.
I agree on that side of it, how could anyone not?
But concerns about a lack of strikers / goal scorers, with 6 days to go after a long window, is a legitimate debate.
Funny you should say that, Baden Powell said the same thing.

You seem to be reeling this off at every opportunity as if it should be any surprise to you. Of course people are going to overeact. Yes it's good news for the club that we didn't pile more risk on an already risky purchase but it's blatantly not good news that several months after being promoted to the PL we are still yet to improve our strikeforce with 5 days of the window remaining.
Also, speaking of regurgitating misinformation constantly, we didn't discover anything that wasn't already known by the player and by his club. The difference is the perceived risk, which is a hell of alot higher for a deal worth 10 million pound sterling than one worth 250k.

So we played 2 of the recent winners and they played 2 relegation fodder....... but it's clearly not even the signings ability but when they came in.
You make a good point, just really badly x

West Ham finding it tough? They pulled out of Carvalho due to fitness concerns not the price tag.
They have signed Zabaleta, Hart, Arnautovic and Hernandez. All seasoned PL players and regular internationals. They may be on P2 L2 but they have had very similar fixtures to us.
2 in 2 for Hernandez already is it?
I really don't think it's in the least bit comparable, their unrealistic fans are probably getting frustrated they haven't signed Mahrez to aid their push for CL football. I don't think it's unrealistic for our fans to suggest we should have improved our strikeforce since promotion.
Yes it is. But some people seem to be somehow blaming the recruitment team that Raphael has a medical problem. It's hardly their fault, they can't do a medical on him when hes playing for another club!
But why? Why does everyone need to overreact? Do they do this in their normal lives? Is this just the way of the world these days? It's all a bit pathetic.
