My mistake. I think young Barry is from another Aston in the south. Apologies.

Also, I believe young Louie Barry was born in Aston so might be one of ours?

I think he’s from Sutton and I’m pretty sure Barry’s dad owns The Lounge pub in Boldmere.

I like Watkins but he's said he wants to stay and would be £25-30m (in my opinion) which is probably a bit too hot for us in this window.

Marriott I'm less convinced by, hasn't played well this season and hasn't even established himself in the championship yet, I don't think he's ready to step up.

Eze is the other one missing from the list above and I'd rate him higher than almost everyone on there but he's more of a 10 than a traditional striker.

A couple of posts I read on a Bitter Baggies forum suggested he was a Villa fan.

Jay Rod from Burnley would be a useful signing.

Benteke and Bowen with a loan of Murray would keep us up I reckon.

Lots of people (twitter) saying that Reina will be signing shortly.

It looks quite credible.

I'd also see if Ashley Young fancied joining us till the end of the season instead of Inter Milan. He'd be useful.

Not a great vote of confidence in the lad or any of our other keepers is it ?
