I trust you'll let me know if we signed anyone on those pages (I did read page 119). I will be here from now on, that's for sure.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 It's actually a bit mental that Robson Kanu doesn't have a club. Makes me wary that there is something wrong with him beyond his ability. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically a championship player, scored 24 in 198 games... But then he's a regular international... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 He's not an out and out striker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Said it before, can't understand why no club premier league or even championship isn't taking a look at Bobby Wood, the US player. Serious striker. I reckon we'd get him. Playing with union Berlin in the 2nd division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think Steve Clarke would know him quite well though, so he'll either recommend him to RDM or perhaps he simply isn't good enough? We may even have bigger and better targets lined up? I thought even James Chester looked good yesterday but my Albion mate doesn't like him at all. All about opinions I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Hal Robson Kanu??? No thanks One scuffed shot in a European Championships doesn't elevate him to good player status in my book. IMO we need to look at the future by getting in players that will not only get us out of the Championship but will do a job in the Premier League. We need to build a squad mentality and assemble a group of players that can perform together for the next 3-4 seasons. Signing the likes of HRK will just mean having to sign more players if we go up as he has shown he is not good enough at the top level. We'd be lumbered with his wages and sending him out on loans until his contract winds down. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBM Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 last week it was reported that rdm would have £50m this window, earlier in the week it was £40m, by friday it was £35m, hopefully the takeover is completed by tomorrow so it doesnt drop below £30m, we need 11 new players as least 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until we know who is staying, I doubt even RDM knows how much is going to be spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Who was it reported by? Xia made the case himself it is upto £50m depending on the coach and requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Robson-Kanu is dire. He is one of those players who doesn't score enough to be up front and doesn't contribute enough to play deeper. He is a bit of a nothing playing who might scuff one in....as he did yesterday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People react like we are going into the champions league. We have a core group that are absolute toxic. Lescott, Gabby, Richards need removing from that dressing room. We have some talent, Grealish, Ayew, Gana, Amavi ( if we can keep them) We need to add 5-6 I'd say. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has loads of Championship football under his belt, he is part of a successful Wales team with fantastic team spirit (actually looks like he gives a dam!) and whilst he clearly isn't a top top player he is certainly good enough for our level. He also had a season in the Premier League with Reading I believe. Only 27 years old too. That fact he is on a free transfer is appealing too.
