Stupidity bringing him straight back into a derby match after a long lay off, should of eased him in.

Well I'd agree if it was the same body part he'd injured, a shoulder injury can't be predicted or expected. We need him back in the team and if he's fit (and he'd said before the game that he'd be back for Villa), he wants to play and we want him to.

We need to get him back fit and are desperate for at least one, preferably two CM's. Brunt looks pony in there at the moment, too slow and lightweight. Andrews style player and someone with some flair would be perfect.

How about a move for Keith Andrews.

Here's a link to his first interview in English

Normally I wouldn't take much notice of interviews with players, Lukaku apart who always seems so thoughtful and intelligent, but I really enjoyed that piece with Claudio.

Since the first game I saw him play for Albion he has stood out for me as a key player for us and of a quality that we haven't had, with all due respect to other players, for many years. The bloke is absolute class and the interview just confirms that.

I know that any player will try to say all the right things (well, with one exception) but Claudio comes across as a really sound character to me. His English is excellent given he has been here less than a year, and he seems, as with Lukaku intelligent and thoughtful.

Brilliant player, brilliant interview.

True that. I remember not being impressed when I read that about him, but by God, he as been a revelation for us.

WBASPE77 · « **Reply #735 on:** April 04, 2013, 06:48:05 PM »

I hadn't heard anything about him before he joined us has been one of the best signings of the summer.

Great interview with him & I just LOVE this part "“I swapped shorts with a friend who played for the other team. But it wasn’t a big deal. It’s just that in Argentina [a derby match] means that it’s your biggest enemy and you shouldn’t exchange, a bit like with Aston Villa and Albion here. The press made it into a problem.” - Claudio Yacob on the “incident”

He's been great this season and we've missed him when he hasn't been available, he proved to be very effective earlier on in the season and struck up a superb partnership with Mulumbu which was crucial to our early success. What has been noticeable over the last few weeks which I believe is down to the system we've used of having three in the middle of midfield is that he's looked very leggy and hasn't looked quite up to grips with the game, nor been as effective as he was earlier on this season. His lack of mobility will be noticeable but even more-so when he's required to do extra work in the middle. In my opinion for next season, we need to get back to playing to our strengths, creating the ideal balance and allowing Yacob and Mulumbu to re-ignite their current partnership which has proved to be a success this season.

WBASPE77 · « **Reply #738 on:** May 20, 2013, 05:42:35 PM »

Overall he has had a great season shame that he got inured in January as he was a miss, only disappointment was that he didn't get a goal for us this season. I really hope that we can keep hold of him and that next season him and Mulumbu can continue there excellent performance.

Didn't copy and past the whole article due to its length but it outlines how we are alleged to have used unlicensed agents in the Yacob transfer and are 'embroiled in a transfer dispute with the FA'.

LiamTheBaggie · « **Reply #740 on:** May 30, 2013, 11:59:16 AM »

I really don't know what to make of that article - It just seems all over the shop.

I'm sure we would have conducted our business thoroughly and in the appropriate manner. Could be ideal for the club to come out and re-buff the article.

"As with all of our transfer dealings, the negotiation process regarding the signing of Claudio Yacob complied fully with all FIFA and FA rules and regulations," said West Brom in a statement to CNN.

"All negotiations were conducted and concluded directly with a FIFA-registered agent."

That is the only part of the article that stands out for me.

90% garbage

sounds just like a couple of grubby little agents trying to con a bit of cash...

The article is pretty crappy in the way it keeps says ...

"declined to answer on the record a number of specific questions asked by CNN"

as if they have any real right to know.... or are even an authority to do so

Perhaps they're hoping for an out of court settlement from JP...

I wonder what flavour they prefer - cheese and onion or salt and vinegar

Unfortunately this sort of thing happens in the murky waters of South American football lots of "agents" with various claims regarding a players future. I take comfort in the fact that the people at the club are way too experienced to get involved with anything that would seriously damage the club. Claudio on the other hand might have a few problems with this issue.

So we are in a dispute with the FA who have Dan Ashworth and he would have helped sign Yacob? I'm sure we will be fine

Maybe Ashworth has a split personality !!!!!

According to OPTA stats on SKY Sports Yacob has the most tackles in the Premier League just ahead of Lucas Leiva of Liverpool

Fantastic player. Has off days, but who doesn't. Lucky to have him.

B_H_Baggie · « **Reply #749 on:** December 30, 2013, 03:35:50 PM »

I thought he wasn't quite performing to the standard he set last season but then I saw his stats the other week and it turns out he is actually performing better statistically this season than last. Top player we are lucky to have and yet another one that was free.
