Hopefully we won't miss out by trying to be too clever. In my view, this would be our best signing of what looks to have been a very good window. It'd be a shame if we lost out because either a) someone steps in with a bid that matches the seemingly accepted valuation of £5m,, or b) West Brom sell someone else, negating their reason to get rid of one of their best players. I'm not suggesting we pay over the odds. Just don't lose out through trying too hard to get him on the cheap. Having said all that, the transfer team have played a blinder so far this window, so maybe I should have more faith. We've offered X that we're happy with, in terms of value and that keeps us within FFP. Getting him at any cost is how you get into WBA type troubles. There are a lot of external factors at play here too, they have to sell two players but haven't had the offers for Diagana that they were expecting. They don't want to sell BTA but will be forced if they don't shed other players (and for the right money) before the deadline.

5m. Same fee we got for Brown? Get it done. Just think if we could sell Brown and replace him with this guy, for the same money. That would look outstanding business. BTA and potentially Leris for the price of brown is not sane value

Surely there’s no truth in that? They just spent £12m on Piroe, and still have Rutter, Bamford and Gelhardt. I obviously didn’t think we were the only ones looking at him, but he’d be going there to be 3rd choice minimum. If forgot about Piroe, a fantastic player at this level They spent pretty big on him and they don't have a huge budget, maybe they think they can get him pretty cheap since our reported bid isn't very high?

Leeds poking their noses in? Oh for fucks sake Yep. If Leeds are genuinely interested we are fucked. Stewart all over again. It might of course be a ruse by the Baggies to blag us into upping the offer. We'll soon find out I suppose. If we do miss out I'd rather we didn't panic and spaff good money on average shite. Wait til January if necessary.

I’d be surprised if Leeds wanted him. They’ve just signed that striker from Swansea haven’t they? And still have the likes of Bamford to come back in.

Can't see Leeds being attractive to many players at the moment. surprised by that comment I personally just feel that they have become a bit of a basket case club like Sunderland did when they were relegated. They have lost about 7 players through relegation clauses haven't they?

Wouldn't be surprised to see Preston, Norwich, Sunderland, Swansea, Sheff weds and anyone else having a nose either, as we all seem to be after a striker.... Maybe not Preston if they get osmajic 🤔

No need to panick. Today was never going to pass without someone being 'interested'. Just so happens they've gone for arguably the biggest club in the league.
Stay calm, come 6 o'clock we'll see what he's worth then

Agents like to throw the rumours in so that can try and get a players wages increased.
The bonus re Stoke is that BTA wouldn’t need to commute far.

The worry for WBA is that nobody has come in for Grady Diangana. They were hoping to sell Diangana for around 5m to keep the wolves from the door, Not only is he worth money hes also on a juicy contract. But yet nobody has come in meaning that WBA may be forced to sell Thomas-Asante to balance the books
