Is this definitely a done deal? Pulis talking about Saido and Lambert in today's mail, without a single mention for Rondon? In fact there's not a mention anywhere.

Everyone who I would normally trust with Baggies news says so. Remember that Pulis would be talking about the Man City game and Rondon will obviously not feature regardless so the focus will be on Lambert and Berahino who will.

Nice one, cheers.
Couldn't believe it when I heard on Saturday, thought it was a wind up, this bloke is top notch.
Bit of a risk, as he's never played in the Prem, but he looks made for it! Real coup if we get him in, shame he can't play tonight, might have ruffled their feathers!
Not sure how Lambert will feel though.

Has more bullsh?? prevailed?

If jp had spent his pr men would be hiring planes with banners to fly around the midlands to spread the news in order to sell last minute seasons tickets and match tickets for the city game and his "half time" welcome.

The deal is done is pretty much our player. He is a major big player in Venezuela and the club know this. They are waiting for Venezuela to be live to the news.  Announcement may still happen today wehave nothing to fear he is a baggie.

It actually is that's what I'm told. I'm guessing the club is thinking of publicity overseas shirt sales etc.

I'd imagine it's more down the the time difference as opposed to an attempt to gain publicity. We need international clearance which presumably has to be granted by some form of authority in Venezuela. They are 5 hours behind so if you assuming they have normal working hours no one will be at work until about mid afternoon time here.

Must admit I have been refreshing everything every 5 mins as I'm so excited about this potential signing!

From the sounds of the ITK posts it is a done deal and I do trust them, but I will be forever paranoid until I see him holding a shirt on the club website!

I wonder if they will announce it on the day of a big home game, it might prove to be a distraction for everyone that may have an adverse effect.

From what people have been saying, he's trained with the first team on Saturday, and I believe Friday too, so the players won't care. And I doubt it will distract the fans - heck, we'll probably be in a better mood because of it!

I tend to take the contrary view, announce this before kick off, get the crowd up and loud?

Twitter/Mirror sport reporting he has signed a five year deal on around £50,000 a week and just waiting International clearance to rubber stamp the move.

Hoping it will go official, until then there is always a potential snag  :-[

I, like a few others on here, am not exactly familiar with him. It is exciting though judging from his record at Malaga and in Russia and his general playing manner and style. I do really hope though that this doesn't mean reduced game time for Lambert as I think without doubt Lambert is the best natural finisher we have available to us. If Saido does stay, which personally I think he will until at least January, then I would hope that TP will find a way to play Saido just behind a front two of Lambert and Rondon. With two wingers too, I know this will leave us with a very attacking line up so it would need Yacob and Gardner/Morrison to play a very disciplined holding role. I'm a firm believer that the best form of defence is attack so I hope this is the way Pulis goes.

Lambert , rondon and berahino with 2 wingers makes 5 offensive players . 2 in midfield makes 7 . 3 in defence I don't think so .

I think its a case of Saido plus one of Lambert / Rondon at home

Away from home, any ones guess, likely dependant on oppo.

Vic / Ideye will have to get used to more warming the bench / cup games IMO.

Whatever the formation, with Rondon appearing to be and Lambert to a lesser extent both somewhat target men, Berahino would be more effective playing slightly off them. I'd hate to see Lambert missing out because his signing has given me more confidence than any other, including Rondon.

It's done, just be patient. We'll all know by the game tonight so just concentrate on that for a few hours
