Baggies do want Samatta

Where did you hear this?

West Brom want to 'hijack' Aston Villa transfer - reports

West Brom are in the market for a new striker and Aston Villa's Mbwana Samatta has reportedly emerged as an option


https://www.xxxx.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/villa-samatta-west-brom-transfer-18951897

That explains it.

Whether they’ve left it too late or not I don’t know. They have defo come in for him today

Think that's just press talk, West Brom are after Grant from Huddersfield for about 15m (actually goal ratio not far off Watkins last season) and Deeney been mentioned regularly.

Think Samatta is more likely to go out on loan abroad but I'd keep him as back up and loan Davis out instead.

I reckon we must be in for another striker if Samatta goes. No way do we risk Watkins being injured for a period and only having Davis as backup.

Wes.

Until late November he is going to be nowhere near. Not kicked a ball for 9 months.

Wes.

Will be back in December and will then need a good two months just to get back up to intensity of league and even then that's no guarantee as we saw with Kozak and Kodjia.

I can see Traore playing a bit centrally with his skillset but still makes sense to get another forward in.

We were in for Wilson and I doubt it was a case of either Wilson OR Watkins. Put me in the '1 more striker to come' camp.

If we do sell Samatta, I hope we insert a sell on clause. When he first arrived, he scored a few goals that seems to suggest he can do it. His level fell away after lockdown, which must have been pretty miserable for him. Once he settles, he may turn out to be a decent striker, so that sell on clause needs to be in there. I’d prefer a loan to west Brom at this point.

Whatever happens in the rest of the window, let's give a massive shout to the owners.

Match day income now zilch but huge financial support for the club allowing us to make up some serious ground on the established clubs.

It could all have been so different.

The Traore links only started after Wilson went to Newcastle though.

Totally agree - some big money signings and re-signing Jack is equivalent to a £50m signing

I wouldn't be surprised to see Eduardo/Brewster, Rashica, and Rose/Henry come in. Probably just wishful thinking.

Éduardo - could be the one - but it depends how Dean will set up the team?

Brewster seems nailed on for Sheff Utd.

I'm reckoning there's something else brewing.

Dele Alli?

Alli is being linked with PSG and Inter so probably not. As much as I rate him, he doesn’t really play in the positions we need covering.
