Apologies if already posted.
Sky sports reporting that Albion have turned down lucrative tours in the USA and Asia.
Concentrating on the PL.
Bold move, but certainly sensible IMO

Agreed, sensible move.

As for the loan deal for Griezmann, cant see him wanting to warm the bench

Couldn't we take the money and send the reserves? They're not going to know are they.

The best option from a football perspective.

Establish ourselves as a PL team then we can but on the money spinning Amex Cup pre season and have 3 top European teams visiting.

This. We too could have had one of these: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_Palace_Baltimore
BHA Tallahassee playing in front of seventeen rednecks and a tin of Skoal Bandits. I feel robbed.

LIKE.

His wording makes me wonder if we're looking at a marquee signing from a large European side.
Rather like Cambiasso at Leicester.
Someone without ego who improves the performance of all around by demanding certain standards from his team mates.

Good luck finding a footballer (or any competitive sportsman) without an ego.

That all sounds very sensible to me.

Good work, Albion!
