To be honest, I thought he handled the Wilmot situation well - and is a really nice, humble lad by all accounts from West Brom It was a slightly naughty tug, but 99 times out of 100, Wilmot would've got straight back up. Wilmot doesn't seem to have any problem with him I've met him a few times, until Salford moved to their new training ground the football team I coach used to share a training pitch with them at Salford Sports Village. On a couple of occasions he spent time with the lads doing some shooting and dribbling drills, and he invited us to one of the Salford games and spent time chatting to all the kids/parents afterwards. He's a lovely lad.........

I’m sure Ben Wilmot will give him a warm welcome. Not sure if too many people picked up on this, but at the end of our recent game against the baggies, BTA went up to Wilmot and they hugged each other and stood chatting for a while. No bad blood there from what I could see. And neither should there be. That incident was blown massively out of proportion on here.

He's a beast of a player, strong as an Ox, can finish, can do the unpredictable, good age, anything below £5 million will be an absolute result.

Honestly he'd be perfect. I'd pay £5m just to boil the piss of all the Baggies fans as well, it would be hilarious....... Does their owner need another 5 million loan? 🤭 I may have the wrong club!

With our new found skills at overseas signings, there's no need to be held to ransom on any fee. I'm sure there will be someone else lined up that we haven't heard of!

Could a deal plus player be an option? Such as Gayle thrown in? Not if they have to lower their wage bill Not sure what will happen with Gayle if we sign another striker.

Only one person responsible for the injury, and it was a reckless thing to do, but the ref's actions throughout that game contributed massively to the reactions of the Stoke fans afterwards.

Strikes me as the perfect Ty replacement?

You would think we could get him for less than we would sell Ty for?

Scored against us twice last season if I am not mistaken and looked a great player. Put aside the Wilmot incident it's a great buy if it happens

we do have quite a few players that have played for both clubs with mixed results, as long as BTA is better than the last striker we purchased from them I am for it
Berahino- Disaster for us, TP had our pants down Odemwingie- Superb albeit via Cardiff Sawyers- never as good as i hoped for Pieters- Good for both
any others??

Even at where he is now, Gayle won't be commanding a small wage. The positives for Gayle going, is he’s local (lives in Stafford), plus played for the Baggies and is well liked with their fans. There maybe a deal that helps keep his wages down if they take the remainder of his contract?

If we could sign him and Leris for less than we sold Brown we will have done very well.

Been quite a few over the years that I can think of: Peschisolido, Crooks, Fletcher, Dyson, O’Connor, Kelly, Sigurdsson, Talbot, Ford, Hackett, Harbey and Statham.

Good mates with Tymon apparently, so my daughter and her instagram account inform me.

He'll know WBA are in a bit of a mess financially and that we are recruiting well. If we meet their valuation, he might not even have a much of a choice. I really can't see them letting this happen though, their fans would go mental.

I’d buy him, just to stop him scoring against us and injuring our players..
