Good to see Dean Kiely's not letting the grass grow under the Albion GK department's feet.
Albion have looked at this US GK twice now. Be interesting to see what part, if any, he plays in the USA World Cup squad next summer.

US international goalkeeper Bill Hamid is training with West Bromwich Albion for a week.
The 22-year-old DC United player, who spent a time working out with the Baggies two years ago, will work with Albion's goalkeeping department for a few days.
Hamid was part of the USA squad for recent internationals against Austria and Scotland.
US national team goalkeeping coach and England international Chris Woods, who is also a current Manchester United coach, arranged with Dean Kiely for the 6ft 3ins keeper to train with Albion during his period in Europe to help him gain valuable experience.

Another GK in Albion's sights?

WBA have never had a better goalkeeping set than now - 2 internationals vying for one slot. Its good to know we are still looking to the future however.
Before too long we will need to replace several seasoned players e.g. Reid, Macauley, Brunt and Olson.

And they say Villa are a big club

It's all down to Martin O'Neill's ruinous spending during his time in charge at Villa, albeit he got them four sixth-place finishes or something like that. From memory, his net spending on transfers was £80m and the wages he put his players on were eye-wateringly high.
