Could be. Could be his name. When Zamora signed I hadn't heard of him, but he had a great name! I think my concern comes from looking at the lads track record going back over the past 6 seasons. Long term he hasn't excited managers or scouts. I know Charlton wanted him, but even addicks would...

Good shout. Can't argue with that. So where is my underwhelmed sense coming from?

That's more like it!

I don't want to be patient!!!!!

It may be the case that nobody is asking me to be excited, but I want to get some inspiration from the Albion. Afterall, emails about Harveys and some deal with Nike aren't doing it for me. :-)

Agreed with that. I was quite happy with Hughes. Saw him as a good like for like replacement to Upson. Alongside Ward he'll be great. But O'Grady just isn't exciting me, and I want to be excited. I'd even take a really strong rumour along the lines of Albion linked with a Rickie Lambert type...

I've got it! It was Chinese whispers. Someone has said something to Sami about resigning Barnesy and he's misheard and said something to Burke about signing a striker from Barnsley. That has to be it.

Hey, everyone's right. I've changed my mind. I'm really excited that we're signing a striker from Barnsley.

You dress it up nicely. I'm still feeling "meh!"

Have you had a look at his record? Read it again. Does that really excite you?

Actually, the more I look at his record, the more difficult I find it to believe that we'd want to spend £50 on this player let alone the amounts that have been touted about.

Fair enough. I don't claim to know more than the people that are running the club, but I do know what excites me and what doesn't. Losing Ulloa doesn't excite me. Signing a striker from a relegated team and whose record reads as follows (below) doesn't excite me. 2003–2007 Leicester City 24 (1)...

I don't know. Not him. Demba Ba has just gone to Turkey for 4.7m - sure wages were high, but come on. Luciano Becchio? Sam Baldock from Bristol City - top scorer in League 1. I notice that Bournemouth quietly sign Callum Wilson from Coventry in July. That was a smart signing. Who else? Daniel...

This is not the signing I was expecting. I'm assuming O'Grady is just another reserve striker, nothing more.
