I'm with Halifax on this. Leeds brought alot of what is bad into the modern game, in terms of timewasting, cheating and negative play. I think the rules stopping passes back to the goalkeeper were changed as a result.

Except now its called 'game management'

And one of their greatest exponents of their style of play. proved to be one of our best managers

A legitimate journalist has said we've agreed Â£3 mill and a medical for tomorrow.

Happy days

Inclined to believe it. Author is Lyall Scott and he works for sky sports. Sky are now reporting it.

On Sky

West Brom have agreed a fee with Brentford to sign Romaine Sawyers, according to Sky sources.

Sky Sports News understands the deal to be in the region of Â£3m, and the midfielder is set to undergo a medical with the Baggies on Friday.

Celtic had been one of a number of other clubs interested in signing the 27-year-old, who has just one year left on his contract at Griffin Park.

Yes yes yes!!

Huge! I'm loving these signings. Get a CB now so Ajayi can play midfield, Perreira and another striker. Never bloody pleased are we?!

It's been a good week, 4 permanent signings.

a centre half will turn up

What's with your suggestive responses?

He seems keen to come back â€˜homeâ€™, maybe he thinks heâ€™s got unfinished business and a bit of a point to prove.

At that price in the market and with how he is on the ball (something we lack) then 3mil is a bargain, thankfully heâ€™s now in the last year of his contract.

Hats off to Dowling, we were rumoured to have been interested last summer and were quoted 10/12milion, so to get it done at 3 is good work.

VANDERLEI · « **Reply #88 on:** July 25, 2019, 09:46:35 PM »

Great news. One of the best forward passers in the division. He gives a new dimension to the midfield. Just get a CB and a goal scorer and we'll be looking solid

Not sure that's down to Dowling though more the length of time left on contract

Seeing that we are searching for new recruits in the bargain basement this looks a good piece of business. I just hope there is plenty left in the kitty for a proven goal scorer and a centre back

KYA · « **Reply #91 on:** July 25, 2019, 10:09:15 PM »

On paper the team has a better balance than last season when for me we were just a bunch of individuals papering over the cracks, this lad could be just what we were lacking in midfield last season.

Baggies · « **Reply #92 on:** July 25, 2019, 10:21:49 PM »

Express and Star confirm fee agreed.

baggie38 · « **Reply #93 on:** July 25, 2019, 10:34:44 PM »

My son actually grew up with Romain at Dartmouth high school in Great Barr (now Q3) going to be very bizzare seeing him line up in our first team.

Great news, been waiting all day for an updated RE: Sawyers.

Really think he will add that dynamism to centre midfield we have lacked for so long.

Standaman · « **Reply #95 on:** July 26, 2019, 02:37:58 AM »

Not sure about this, which is odd because I really like Sawyers as a player he is just not quite what I had in mind at the outset of the window when I was hoping that we finally sorted out the midfield. Maybe I am wrong but I have a sneaking suspicion that we will have a lot of midfielders but no combination that is really effective.

Wilson confirming that a fee has been agreed, in the region of Â£3m

Hmmmmm given 38's ITK reputation is this a thinly veiled hint?

I think that's a good point Stan. I'm still not 100% he is what our midfield needed. We have a fquite a few deep lying midfirlfers now and they all have varying skill sets, but none of them are particularly mobile like, say, John McGinn or Stefan Johansson. We could be a very easy on the eye team this year but Bilic has a job on his hands getting the right balance.
