Certainly looks like he has all the ability to be a powerful player but then looks like he is made of paper when playing

Didn't look it last time at Man City 54 games & 8 goals and generally looked out of his depth whenever I saw him.
DfT is right, the Baggies took him because he cost nothing.
The only correct part of his post was that he's not a goalscorer.
78 caps suggest he'll not struggle at a level of WBA as he didn't for the Hoops. Sure he's not 30 yet so decent punt especially without a transfer fee.

Trust me the bit about his being free meaning the Albion went after him is true.

Was he offered a new contract at Celtic ?
No.....costs being the issue I believe.

Cutting costs or he wanted an increase in wages ?
Seems he is a player rated so not sure why he would be let go ?
Cutting.

I would disagree with that, I said that he holds the ball up well:lol:

Makes sense I suppose if he is a high earner but it's got to be hard to compete in the CL if cutting costs means you lose one of your main strikers

Think its good business for West Brom. I think he'll do a decent job although not convinced he'll score plenty. Still if he makes chances with the hold up play for others then great.

I notice Hull have missed the first £1m drip payment to Dundee United for Andy Robertson but are still trying to buy another player for £10m.
Sounds like the business model of the madhouse. If you can't afford it don't buy it.

Why are there so many empty seats at Villa Park for the game against Newcastle?
Two of the Barclay League's biggest fan bases but it looks like there is only 35,000 watching.

Villa have been suffering low crowds for a while - biggest fan bases ? Newcastle maybe but not sure about Villa
And maybe the SPL isnt a one horse race
ICT beat Celtic and are top of the SPL

Official attendance just over 30,000, that's very poor for this early in the season.

Just a couple thousand below the average from last season - when your teams isnt playing fantastically the figures will drop.
they have regualry had attendances of 30 thousand at home over the years.

Undoubtedly the Toon would have brought many more but imagine there was silly ticket allocations. Playing the football Villa have the last few years I can see why there is empty seats. I think they'll have a long season

Blackpool have had their squad gutted by their owner and have just about enough players to get a team
And Fulham it appears seem to suffering under Magath tactics and blew a load of money on a striker when the squad needed a lot of work.

MAGATH OUT. Bloke's clueless. Hawkeye and I were having this discussion this morning. He's still tinkering with line ups and dropping those players that have been doing well. He has no idea how cut throat the championship is and while I admire him playing the kids and planning for the future he's not the right man. I fear for us again this year. Not sure the owner has the true interests of the club at heart and looking for the potential to sell the Cottage for real estate. Still we've been down that road before
