What I have heard, which is only by a friend who knows someone within the club, that we were/are looking for 10m, with Leicester offering just over 6m. The club are expecting another offer and if that fee is around the 8m mark then the deal will go through.
I guess we will see come Wednesday game if he plays or not, if we are talking 8-10m worth of player it would be dangerous to jeapordise such a possible deal.

Stop putting words in my mouth. I want players signed like anyone else but that's very different to being dissatisfied with the club. Would you rather have ducking bill archer in charge?

I can only presume he doesn't want to rack up a load of international data roaming charges.

No of course I wouldn't, I'm extremely grateful that we have Tony Bloom in charge, as are 99.9% of level headed Albion fans. However just at the moment we appear to have gone a bit stale in the recruitment department, the last 2 transfer windows have been disappointing and although it's mid July this window isn't looking overly fruitful with the only real rumour doing the rounds being about our star striker being sold. I can fully appreciate why people are concerned by his possible departure as it's highly plausible that we will not see the money invested back into the first team squad. We were hanging on for something to happen in January when El Abd, Barnes and Bridcutt were sold, we signed Stephens and Monakana which was in all honesty a bit underwhelming, though I believe Stephens will be a good player for us. All in all I don't think it's necessary for people to get such a hostile reception on here for being vocal about their disappointment/worry about our transfer activity.

We want to be self sustaining. We are not in a position to offer silly money to ensure a signing when the most sought after players hold the cards.
However, we have done so in the past.

I don't think any rational fans are expecting us to be bidding £11m for McCormack etc , and appreciate we are trying to live within our means and be FFP compliant, but is it really totally out of the question for us to maybe spend a little bit of money on an established player, even if they're from League One? To try and be competitive in this division surely we need more than just the kids and the odd loan player, or are we happy treading water in the Championship?
Why wouldn't we be? Lots of teams are spending much more than we are and we are still out placing them in the division. No point in taking risks with regards to spending money if transfer embargoes will likely be imposed.

Some people just pretend to know what the budget is and in reality haven't a clue.

I don't have any answers to that. I would imagine there will be bigger signings closer to the transfer window shutting.
There are those with parachute payments, those with chairmen 'gifting' money to reach the promised land and those whom are trying to survive. I think we slip in to the last category.
Our aim is clearly the top flight. Treading water means horrendous losses.
However, isn't it sad that getting promoted means paying (and losing money) random chaps mega millions when they don't really do much for their cash.

I feel that way, as it is. Our current crop get paid ridiculous amounts of money for doing bugger all.

Unless we make some investment into the first team we will mid table this season. I'm fine with that, but perhaps the club shouldn't reel off lines about being PLR etc if we aren't actually trying to get there other than by stumbling across a very lucky and injury free winning formation.
I heard his battery was flat so he couldn't power it up at airport security.
It was then taken away from him.

So some people in Spain say he's gone.
Gone where?? Shopping, sunbathing, to the beach
Until it's an official announcement he's gone he still plays for us and those few in Spain should provide something other than rumour mongering!
Definitely still here, watched him train this evening and afterwards was sitting at the Pinatar Arena with Bruno and Calde enjoying the band at the barbecue. He was very happy.
