Apologies if this has been answered already but has he withdrawn his transfer request or is he still on the 'transfer list'?

His transfer request was rejected by the club, so he never went on the Transfer List in the first place.

Heard a nice story related by Ken Brown at the Friends of the Albion meeting this morning. He was called during a presentation by his opposite number at Norwich.

"How much?" said the farmer. "We haven't set a price for him as he's not for sale" said Ken.

After the third bid Ken said to him "We've nearly finished a £93million stadium. The chairman paid cash. New training facilities of £15million, likely again to be in cash. Put it this way, you'll have to sell an awful lot of Cookery Books to get him"

If true, I like that.
Fits in well with that great footy cliche, 'We set out our stall early'
Scones!!!
