Hearing that Blackburn have put a £2.5m price on Shane Duffy's head as he and former Albion target Ben Marshall have refused to extend their contracts beyond next June.
Also reported that Blackburn are closing on a deal for an un-named CB replacement.

Deal inching closer? Might explain why it's all gone so very quiet.

Jobs a good 'un!

After what happened with Pritchard I would be extremely surprised if we heard anything about possible transfers until its all done and dusted with the player wearing or holding an Albion shirt.

Unless an Agent accidentally on purpose leaks it to other potential clubs.

Good. Can't think of a much worse signing from a team togetherness point of view whether or not his legs are gone.

People said the same about Wayne bridge. That didn't turn out too badly

I thought we had bid higher than that and it was rejected?

Did they? Don't remember that at all. In any case there is a clear world of difference between Bridge and Lescott.

Obviously we didnt bid as much as people have suggested we have but IMHO that is still over double what he is worth.

The suggestion is that we bid more but he has since said he will not sign a new contract which increases the pressure to sell and reduces his value.
After tonight everyone concerned might want to reconsider his value.
3 goals in three games - all own goals - and equal leading goalscorer in the division. What a nightmare!

Still need an extra CB but would have to be happy to be at least 3rd choice and prepared to not see a lot of game time.

To be honest, we need a 4th choice CB, not 3rd.

4th Striker is absolutely essential. If we fail to get on then it will come back and haunt us

Indeed. The club are well aware of this though.

duffy - 3 own goals and a sending off so far this season - no thanks

No they didn't. Lescott was busy shopping for cars and showing them off on twitter while he should have been helping his club fight for survival. In what way was Bridge such a risk to team morale?

Do we really need another CB? 2 games before the break, and Golson will be back soon as will BFG.

I'd rather we use the 2.5 million that we allegedly bid for Duffy and go for a real quality striker to play off Murray.

Local paper in Wolverhampton reporting that Balotelli is considering stepping down to the Championship for a season long loan, apparently they're after him, as are Port Vale oddly.

I think a few of Europe's best outfits may have a say in that.

Rumour on Twitter that Rickie Lambert is looking for a move back down south.

Do a job?

Too similar to Hemed and Murray, so no.

That is correct we do not need him unless CH wants to play with 2 big men up front all of the time or as an option to change both strikers and bring on another target man and Baldock mid 2nd half.

Said this on another thread but am surprised people don't see the need for a 4th CB be that Duffy or someone else. At one point last season we had injuries to Uwe, greer, rosenior and bong. We had more experienced cover in Calderon and signed Ridgewell on loan, something we couldn't do this year but this was possibly the period which cost us automatic. Same issue this year and we would be down to untried youngest. Also lets not forget Dunk was dismissed twice as well.
I would say a CB and forward are absolutely critical for our chances of auto this year.

This without a doubt. Plus losing March when he was on a real run of form!
