Nice to see we are making an effort to lower the average age of the squad.

The bloke who wrote it is Simon Stone of BBC Sport, previously Press Association chief reporter and very close to Man Utd (and you'd think Fletcher?) westbrom.com/forum/index.php?topic=15590.1125Doesn't seem that rated by Baggies fans anymore But he's only 33, a mere kiddie. If there's been a stand-off over length of contract at West Brom, hope we haven't done anything stupid like give him 3 years! |

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/39787097A lot of rumours are flying around - and the transfer window is a month away from opening yet. Latest to reach me is former Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher possibly joining Stoke. Fletcher has been outstanding since joining West Brom in January 2015. His contract is up and Baggies boss Tony Pulis said he wanted Fletcher to stay. It will be interesting to see how that unfolds. Good player but only as a squad member. Would be very decent with a young athletic destroyer. Would only be OK if Whelan and Adam left and he and a younger CM came in. |

It's looking more and more like we going to try and do things on the cheap this summer, if we are, it will only end one way.

If Fletcher is the type of player we are after then perhaps Coates is a problem after all.

Everyone who speaks about him seems to say he's a great bloke and a fantastic pro.
But even the Baggies fans seem to think he's on the wane as a player.
Mind you, he's a fortnight younger than Whelan, so there's that.....
I just hope we haven't done anything stupid like been forced to offer him 3 years to tempt him here. That would be absurd, so would fit in well with our transfer policy.

He's an upgrade on Whelan. Unfortunately, he's the same age as Whelan too. Need younger.

Last thing we need is a minor upgrade on Whelan whose legs are going though! westbrom.com/forum/index.php?topic=15590.1125 |

Looks like the money tap has been turned off Isn't that because when the current management has been given significant money to spend they've largely pissed it away. Frankly I wouldn't trust Hughes or cartwright with my cash. In which case why are hey still here? |

Blimey, he uses the word 'veteran' to describe three players in that piece, two of them are already here and Fletcher is the other one! |

I like Fletcher as a player and he's done a very good job at the baggies but FFS how many thirty odd can we have in the team😡One thing I do know for sure though if he does sign he'll be captain imo

I hope these rumours are all made up bollocks because we're not leaking anything to the press, if this really is our transfer policy then it's been a nice ride.
