Where were we in the queue to sign Chris Eagles probably not even in it. Good signing for Charlton as he could have been the wide saviour we are seeking.

We signed someone else. The Boro bloke. I haven't seen him play yet. Have you ? Is he better or not than Eagles in your opinion ?

I dont know if he is better but I do know of Eagles ability plus the fact that he was a free agent so signing him would have left us with another loan signing option.

Given that Fulham are n the slide a draw would perhaps be a better result for us

I don't know either but i trust the club's scouts who have watched him many times and Hughton's judgement. Obviously the club tracked Eagles (as would every other club in Albion's position) and passed.

How do you know we weren't tracking him? He obviously made the choice to go to Charlton from his interview.

There are lies, damned lies and statistics. There are five teams worse than us over the last 6 games.

One has to ask why? Obviously the same reason that nobody wants to sign for us.

Maybe you could write to him and ask him what was so wonderful about Charlton that he chose them?

Similar position in the league, club with similar potential can only be one thing wages.

or that he was grateful for any contract in football having failed to come to any agreement with the bottom club of the league.
NB: Charlton had the 20th lowest wage bill in the league in 2012/13. Albion had the 8th.
There is nothing in the accounts published just recently for 2013/14 or TB's quotes "wage bill is our highest in history" re: our playing budget to suggest anything other than our playing budget, this season, is considerably more than Charlton Athletic. So wages. I don't think so.

Ledesma seems to be the better option. If we had signed Chris Eagles on loan I think the club would have insisted on him wearing a shirt with a German surname on the back - KÜNTZ

He is hardly likely to say that they were the only club to offer him a contract or reasonable wages is he.
