Loan fee/wages don't seem to be a major issue but permanent fee still being negotiated. There's a will on all sides for a deal, though. #wba

Permanent deal part is brilliant to hear.

A top loan player that we'll actually own at the end

Keep hearing he's desperate to play for WBA aswell which is top to hear.

That is good. Good luck. Very good. Could be a good deal. WBA looking good this season. You good? Good.

I was hopeful earlier this week JH that a deal would be reached. I think you said last week that no news was good news. We just have to let the wheels turn and the men in suits get on with their job, and things will happen. Maybe just not at the pace we'd like them to happen, but that's ok as long as we get our man. Sinclair will be well received at Albion, that is for sure. He is just the type of player we need to complement our midfielders and forwards.

I always had the impression Sinclair will go, its just making sure no-one gazumps us.

Sinclair will be perfect in Clarke's counter-attacking system alongside Vydra/Long and Anelka.

Still would like another natural winger for balance though.

Frank Sinclair?
