The journos on the club tour have reported that Yacob has signed a pre-contract agreement. I assume that this means that he cannot now sign for another club without our permission. If this is the case then surely no damage can be done if the club announce this and give fans an update of the true position.

Where does it say he has signed?
nowhere, but he didn't sign for Botafogo and their transfer window is now closed. It's as good as done now

It doesn't yet, and he hasn't yet (apart from the pre-crontract) but he will.

You've been on here a long time, so I respect your input. But is this a solid fact, a strong theory or a hunch?

As long as he acts like a pro once he's formally started I don't care about the games beforehand.


Whenever things look bad, remember the Port Vale, Grimsby and Walsall days... not so bad now, eh?!

welcome aboard tiny tears.

Don't cry for me Argentina,
Theres nothing wrong with West Bromwich,
You want more money,
And we said 'no no',
We are the Albion
Not Botafogo.

" Albion till I die" they cried.

That would be alright wouldn't it?

So even in straightforward English the word cry has several meanings.

When translated from Spanish or Portugese it could mean anything.

Take a look at all those other translations especially the one where he is referred to as a "steering wheel"

So let's not assume he was sobbing when he allegedly spoke to Botofogo.

The steering wheel thing is a Brazilian metaphor that gets a bit skewed in translation. The Portugese word for 'steering wheel' is 'volante' and like a steering wheel gives direction to a car a deep-lying playmaker gives direction to a football team. Pointless fact, but interesting nonetheless.

I don't think he really sobbed either, not a chance. Just look at him, he looks far too masculine to cry.

Here we go, another twist:

Yacob training with Baggies

Argentina international links up with squad in Malmo with view to permanent move

ALBION yesterday welcomed three fresh faces to their Swedish training camp – Argentina international Claudio Yacob and fit-again duo Jerome Thomas and George Thorne.

Former Racing Club midfielder Yacob, now a free agent, has flown out to Malmo for a training spell with Steve Clarke’s men with a view to a permanent move.

Sporting & technical director Dan Ashworth said: “This will give Claudio the chance to take a closer look at us, and us at him.”

So basically he's having a trial here. Not sure what to make of this, it sounds more like we're having a trial with him, but at least it's some information.

Maybe after what has been reported, we're just having a final look at him to see how up for it he is, before handing him the official contract.

If the club are being honest about what's going on - he must not have signed a contract. However, everything I've read would suggest he has already signed a contract for us. 

I wonder whether the club are attempting to convince him about the move whilst ensuring sure he will be committed and be able to settle, before announcing him as a signing. If it doesn't work out - we will agree to terminate his contract quietly - and allow him to move without actually every confirming he had ever signed in the first place - both parties save face.

To allow it to get to this stage I reckon the club are pretty confident he will be playing for us this season.

Pretty good summary of where we are I reckon. ;)

No-one had anything to worry about. Bar any last minute unforeseen circumstances. He will be confirmed today.

Contrary to what's being reported elsewhere, Yacob is NOT undergoing a trial. The deal should go through v soon. Maybe even today #wba


The article on the official site that is pretty much a description of a player having a trial at a club is slightly confusing then.

This is similar to the Valero deal in a way, the club said they 'had an interest' in Valero and were working on a deal when in reality he had trained with the team for two days and been having English lessons.

As good as signed....

CLAUDIO Yacob has joined up with Steve Clarke’s men in Malmo as Albion go through the final throes of completing the Argentinian’s free transfer.
 
The 25-year-old trained with Albion after jetting into Sweden yesterday morning.
 
The midfielder joined in with first-team activities during last night’s session before spending a short time doing one-on-one work with fitness staff.
 
Albion hope to complete his permanent move in the coming days with the player having already signed a pre-contractual agreement last week.
 
Speaking about Yacob’s training spell, Albion’s sporting & technical director Dan Ashworth said: “This will give Claudio the chance to take a closer look at us, and us at him.”
 
Brazilian club Botafogo considered a late approach for the player on Friday but opted against a move.
 
There was also speculation in the south American press that Yacob was having second thoughts due to British tax regulations.
 
Those proved to be unfounded.
 
Yacob made his debut for Racing Club de Avellaneda back in November 2006.
 
He was selected to join the Argentina U20 squad for the 2007 South American Youth Championships in Paraguay and was also part of the team that won the 2007 FIFA U20 World Cup in Canada.
 
The thrice-capped senior international, who had been Racing Club’s captain for the last four years, had previously been linked with Arsenal.
 
His strengths are said to be as a defensive midfielder, initiating offensive moves from deep positions.
