If he can hold up the ball he improves us in the current playing style.

Extremely underwhelming but obviously not the end of our business.

Promise?

If Hal Robson Kanu is the answer I have no idea what the question is.

Why are we worrying about signing him today. He is out of contract. We can sign him tomorrow if we miss out on decent targets.

How about:

"Who was that bloke who scored the wonder goal at Euro 16, despite a really bad goalscoring record throughout his career?"

Disgraceful Albion, Cheap, Small time & Unambitious everything that sums up the club perfectly.

If that's the way we should have looked at it, we would have signed him in July when he was training with us.

That's good. Or what about... 'Name the computer from 2001 A Space Odyssey, A former West Brom player and England captain with a bubble perm, and lanky Nigerian who used to play up front for West Brom?'

One question

WHY?

I hope this isn't going to turn into the normal Albion transfer deadline farce

I think it's to late for that it seems it already has with the likes of Camacho,
Carvahlo and slamani all mentioned we are down to Hal Robson-Kanu bit of a underwhelming day

Was hoping we would balls this up but as it's free and cheap i expect this to be done within a few hours.

He could fail his medical

It does feel like a huge punch in the gonads when teams around us are signing proven forwards.

Stoke-Bony; Palace-Benteke and Remy; Boro-Negredo; Sunderland - Ndong; Swansea - Llorente and Baston; Soton - Boufal; Watford-Okaka

We are lucky Hull and Burnley haven't strengthened, but I think Andre Gray is an outstanding forward.

I've still got a feeling we'll pull a few rabbits out the hat

I literally have no idea who half of those players are and I'd prefer them.

Except Negredo, he was sh*te and moaned a lot on Sunday.

We'd offer him a 5yr contract to cover his recovery with an additional year in the clubs favour in case we need him to keep the bench warm a bit longer

Doobuy · « **Reply #88 on:** August 31, 2016, 05:10:31 PM »

this is massively underwhelming

if we thought he was worth having this should have happened at least 4 weeks ago.

barnestormer · « **Reply #89 on:** August 31, 2016, 05:13:06 PM »

how long before we witness a cryuff turn in an Albion shirt
A.pretty soon
B.give him chance to settle in first
C.never in this world ever again
gotta be C

smethwickw · « **Reply #90 on:** August 31, 2016, 05:13:49 PM »

This is the type of signing I'd expect the Vile or Dingles to be making. Certainly not us.

If its a squad filler with bigger name to come im ok with it , not half as bad as some make out.
Ask yourself this , can he be any worse than Vic or Lambert last season ?
Give him a chance.

And if it isn't a squad filler and pulis can't attract anyone better?

If he is better than what we have already then it shows how poor our squad is.

I answered that with my post , it isnt good enough.
That said Hammond must know all about him , I'll give the bloke a fair go.

Bry , what exactly did Vic and Lambert do between them ?
Huge wages ..3 goals between them ?
Kanu cant be any worse.

Can't be much better either !

Squad filler at best after we have just got rid of those.

We got rid of far superior 'back up' strikers in recent years like Vydra and Rosenberg who are head and shoulders above the likes of RKanu and Lambert!

We must be the laughing stock of the area so far with two signings that any decent Championship team would scoff at.

We can hope for better later but time is running out and we just look lost in the 'new money' Premiership.

PLEASE PROVE ME WRONG ALBION !!!!

Waste of time and effort trying to get this done now, doesn't' have to be done so let's get our other deals done (if there are any) and re-visit this another day!
