Ben Foster to WBA

It all depends on 3 things!

1) How much cash the club has to Run!

So if the only money is the Parachutes, Sponsors and Season Tickets, so Yeung has £0 to his name, we may be forced to have to sell.

2) Players would prefer to be playing in the Prem if given the choice, and especially if their clubs can not Garuntee they will get Promoted at first ask.

Also If the player is aware of the situation and problems we have would they want to be staying here under the bleak circumstances.

3) If WBA are the only club after him, and the two above are correct then its a choice for the player of move to WBA and play in the Prem, or stay here with a bleak future over the club (how can players garuntee a time wont come when they wont get paid wages like at pompy).

And for the club if they have no cash and need cash, then if WBA are the only club in or the only club offering £6M or more then do they refuse to sell and no thats £6M the club really needs to keep it afloat.

Maybe if we want to keep hold of our players or not sell them for cheap or allow players to have all the power.

Then Yeung should do business like this....

Maybe we can sell WBA Doyle

I thought Villa were in for Given at around £3 or 4 million. If we do sell him it would a sign of the rot setting in. Between now and the end of August when the window closes is going to be a long long 7 weeks.

Cant find any announcments... is this a wind up?

I strongly suggest Blues fans take 3 minutes to get to grips with twitter and take a gander at Colin Tattums page every now and then.

He has his finger on the pulse and I have never seen the guy say something incorrect. WBA are apparently enquiring.

It sounds more like they're anticipating an enquiry. I'd say Rob Green would be more likely. Cheaper and more likely to jump.

To be fair to the op, (whatecer that means???) there was reports saying West Brom were going to have a news conference this afternoon where they unveil Gerra and Foster. Things had been far to quiet on this matter for it to have happened behind closed doors, blues dont do business that way rightly or wrongly.

This will be a real test for us.

Because if WBA make a £6M or less offer and it does not take long for us to accept it, that will as far as i am concerned confirm that the club are skint and have no cash flow from Yeung or his board.

And then we should be prepared to see everyone one go who is worth something and then see only cheapest freebees signed.

No mention of Foster to WBA, only that they are looking at West Ham Keeper Peter Kurucz

I think WBA may no that our club would not sell Foster for £6M at least not unless a game of hard ball is played.

As i said if WBA do make a bid and its £6M and we accept i think McLeish will surely move in.
