Happy with this, finally we get to see some dynamic wing play, midfielders who know how to score, might take a few matches but we should start being very sexy someone shortly

I take full responsibility for us making this move after my #BeastMode attack on the club yesterday.

that step over where he creates space for the ball in order to get a clear cross reminds me so much of Dusan Tadic..

....which would be very nice.

Tom Fellows was training at West Brom today so not sure the deal is as advanced as was made out.

We'll see if he's in the squad for their game this weekend.

The Albion boss remained strong in his line that Fellows was still an Albion player as of Friday morning - and had reported to the Albion training ground.

However, he acknowledged how things can change quickly.

He said: "I can only speak about players in the building that are mine, he is currently one of my along with the other boys.

 

 

"I think what we are speaking about at the moment are potentials. Tom is still our player, he is in the building now.

 

 

 

"In football and in life things can happen and can change, currently my mind isn't thinking about that.

"He's in the building, everyone in the building is available. We have some injuries as well that make players unavailable, but all other players are ready for selection.

"I think the Tom situation along with others is that nothing has been confirmed."

this is why you cant believe anything until either someone has taken a photo of said player at the ground - a la Dibbles at Everton - or the club actually announce it !

Romano hasn't posted about this one

[maysie]

I doubt Adam Blackmore and Alfie House would have reported it if it wasn’t a forgone conclusion.

I'd certainly wait for one of them to say it wasn't happening

I mean, he was always a bit of a leach that fed off others and has made a name for himself by doing it

Although he wouldn't be back at West Brom, and available for selection, if it was. 

Something doesn't add up.

But can he take a pair of stilts onto the pitch ?

True, but weird, unless player has changed his mind 

[TheSoundman]

Is he actually there (at WBA's training ground), or is this just people's interpretation of Mason saying 'in the building' which basically means to me TF is still signed to WBA.

He was at the training ground by the sound of it but at no point, perhaps tellingly, did Mason say he had trained this morning as normal.

I still think incomings are conditional on outgoings. If Edozie doesn't go, then Fellows doesn't come, for example. 

[SaintLondon]

TBF - it was reported initially that he would have the medical in the next 24 - 48 hours. Perhaps contracts are being sorted etc and until that point he is technically still a WBA player. I'm hoping that is the case anyway, really want this one over the line. 

[Midfield_General]

'Still our player until something changes' just means he hasn't actually signed the contract to become a Saints player yet. 

It usually means that there are just a few details still being ironed out between the clubs before it becomes official. It's just a little reminder from the selling club to the buying club that they need to agree to all their terms before it actually goes through. 

Remember when Still said before the Norwich game that Fernandes' absence was absolutely, definitely nothing to do with a transfer? 48h later he was a West Ham player. 

It's all just part of the game. There's nothing to worry about there as far as I can see.

I'm hoping so, I've just worked out a great song for him to the tune of "Swallowed" by the band Bush.

It's be a real shame to miss out on that.

We've just raised £80m in outgoings, that's hardly going to prevent a signing being reported at £7m + £3m at this stage, and who is a direct replacement for one of the players sold.

We still need to shrink the bloated squad though. So although on the face of it Fellows is a direct replacement for Dibling, we would still have too many players on the books.

[Cuddles]

He's probably saying goodbye before his medical or something. Or nothing.

[Ivan Katalinic's 'tache]

He could be at the training ground clearing out his stuff before making the move? I guess we’ll find out soon enough. My bet is he doesn’t play for the Baggies this weekend…

This deal is done.  Now the Russian club guy and we can at least get a draw against Watford.

One of those crosses in that twitter compilation was for Adam Armstrong. May have been able to pass on details of attitude, how he trains etc

Good to see that he can play it back on the floor for our stumpy forwards as well as hang it up at the back post for Downs & Nessie

Whilst others have said he's already had a medical. Why would he have completed a medical with us if we haven't agreed personal terms yet. Seems like a very weird one.

Let's see if it's true first

[23rdSaint]

I can understand why this one might get tricky. Fellows is an Albion academy graduate. If the rumours are true and WBA have agreed to the deal without personal terms being agreed, what's stopping him from being loyal to the club he's been at for 10+ years? We'd expect (hope) for the same from one of our homegrown players if in the same situation. 
 

Of course, speculation until we get more details from a credible source.

You're right. I'd expect him to follow in the footsteps of Shearer, Walcott, Bale, Shaw, Lallana etc. and stay.

The fact that West Brom are a wank team without parachute payments?

[CSA96]

My feeling here is that people are on edge and getting whipped up at nothing. Even the Mason comments are quite vague really. Had heard he was travelling down last night, so entirely conceivable he went back up to WBA today and the deal will complete some time in the next few days, given there are games going on and what not
