if Robert pulls out, should Bob not ring up Jardel? 10 mil is the asking price, and the guy is like a goal machine.He's got a Gav friendly temperament.

Cobblers. Robert is surely being targeted for the left midfield slot, where we have been chronically weak for ages. Forget about strikers, we need a left midfielder (totally urgent), a top midfield anchor man (very urgent) and a top central defender (urgent). If we don't get Zenden or Robert we are really going to scrape the barrel. Don't tell me Quinn is the answer.

A former reported target, Lee Hughes, has been made available for transfer today by WBA after efusing to sign a contract extension.

I thionk the fact that he's losing his hair at 24 (?) puts me off him a bit. I think we should only sign players who aren't follically challenged.
