Excellent signing. Still think if he would have played more for Manchester City last year we would have probably been watching him last night against Uruguay. Welcome to WBA Joleon!

Mightily impressed by this signing, Clearly Irvine had an influence here from time at Everton and also Anichebe probably gave good reviews, Great signing and might ease some pressure off the new manager.

Incredible signing. For anyone remotely critical of this, I can't think of a single player we could realistically have signed who is of a better quality than this.

Great move by the club after the last week. Good to us looking to do our business early. Whilst I didn't particularly mind the club keeping things close to their chest until officially announced it good to see the names being linked at the moment.

Player linked, and within 2 days he's signed. Not often that happens!

Well done Albion

Excellent signing. 

So we don't have to worry about GKs, CDs or CMs any more.  That just leaves FBs, Wingers and Strikers.

Photoshopped, it's a smokescreen lie spread by the club to appease fans.

I don't like being a pessimist, but i can't help fearing they've just made this signing to shut us up and they'll go back to the same old ways now  :-\

mmmm, obviously hasn't worked in your case has it?

Top signing, improvement on our current centre backs and has plenty of experience at this level, can’t ask for much more.

Excellent signing.

This has restored a little bit more of my faith.  Long way to go but its a positive start.

Have to admit this is a great signing but needs to be one of many such signings and not a one -off. Has he signed permanent or just on loan ??

Fair play to Irvine if it was his influence that got Lescott here.

Oh and Peace is still a ****   :D

Ha ha! Yeah, keep 'em coming JP. We need more wise investments like this where you can clearly understand the logic behind it.

Awesome signing. if he stays healthy, instantly becomes our best CB by a country mile.

We're also linked with Rodwell. Hope this is a sign we're setting our sights high this year and going for top quality players.

Whilst we're setting our sights so high, let's try for Lukaku and Mitroglou up front. Ashley Cole at LB and Micah Richards at RB. That would set us up nicely for next season.

Two year deal with another year at the Club's option.
Great signing - probably the best England qualified centre back at this time.

Yeah Albion stop going for free transfers like this and go for your usual same old £15m signings.

As brilliant a signing as this is, this is still a free transfer, with a deal structured in the clubs favour, with us spending within our means. Pure stroke of brilliance considering. Congratulations to the club!

Excellent signing and I am totally gobsmacked that we did it, expected the usual line of problems at the end and to see someone else come in and take him.

I hope we play him as a centre half and not a left back as he is much much better than anything we have at this club and should still be involved with the England squad
