Summer 2015 - Transfer Rumours, Speculation & Suggestions

[Concrete John]

Looks like Lescott is on the way out of the baggies according to the Daily Star.......Pulls has placed him on the list of players open to offer.

Would've been a good signing a few years ago, but now at 33 it's a 'no' from me.

I would have him in the squad, certainly an upgrade on Senderdross.

I don't think Senderos will play, so the real measure is against our other 4 CBs.  I'd say he's better than Baker, but financially it would make no sense to bring him in to be 4th choice.  If Okore is out for longer than expected then maybe.

If lescott came IMHO he would be paired with Richards (for 12 months) and Clark bumped down the order

That's my feeling too, but regardless of whether he ousted Clark immediately or started as his understudy, the fragility of all of our centre-Backs means that they’re all likely to get 15+ games in this season.

I would rather look for right back than central defender as we got 3 very good central back and Nathan Baker so we don't want to upset the top 2.

No to Lescott, he's past it

Hasn't Senderos gone to Turkey?

[Phil from the upper holte]

Just checked wikipedia, NO he hasn't..Bugger

[mr underhill]

I thought there was interest from another Turkish club which is why he's dithering

Just wish he'd hurry up, we'll probably see movement over the last few days I reckon

No to Lescott, he's past it

Any info on why you think that?

He was WBA supporters player of the year last season

I like Lescott, and think he'd be a good signing, but lets not forget Habib Beye was at Newcastle the year before we signed him. Stephen Ireland was ours one year too.

3 very good centre backs would be a big over statement. Richards looks like he will be but has only played 2 games, Clark is steadily improving and now looks like premier league level (but that's all) and Okore is still young with promise but no where near the finished article. Senderos is past it and Baker is horrendous.
Lescott is still class when he gets a run in the team, as an Albion fan pal said the other day, as soon as he started playing he looked at a different level to any of their other defenders (and bearing in mind they've been in the top flight for quite a while now).

Indeed, but obviously that has no bearing on whether Lescott has suddenly lost all his powers over the summer or not

I re-watched the last game and our defence received criticism from Neville for looking clueless and unorganised at set pieces. A veteran like Lescott could do us the world of good
