Yep

"Dave Homer ‏@CoachDave_ 6m
Thievy 4 goals in 32 La Liga games. Now playing in Spanish 2nd division. Just what #wba need. Yet another none scoring goal scorer."

Jesus Christ I wish people would actually do proper research on players instead of posting moronic crap on twitter.

Thievy was on loan at Las Palmas last season from Espanyol. He played mainly as a supporting striker/attacking midfielder in a 4231 formation. This season he has only started 2 matches; 1 as a striker and 1 as a right midfielder. This is due to the decent understanding that Sergio Garcia and Cordoba have in Espanyol's 442 formation. His substitute appearances have been mixed, sometimes upfront and other times outwide.

He has scored 3 goals in 11 appearances this season and only starting twice. That is not a bad record this season for a player that used for his pace rather than goal scoring ability.

Well said Josh. Some people can't see beyond the stats.

Chances are Mell knows the lad really well which is good enough for me.

*league appearances

He scored 11 goals in 36 appearance last season in the Segunda Divisision, 2 in the cup and 1 in the play offs.

Will update this thread from 6 when I arrive back home.

Keep me updated 'til then lads x

Goran may Pop off.

CL: Radio colleagues claiming Popov might be on his way. Yet to get that from Mel direct - TV press conf only just started. #wba

Does this mean we have a left back in mind?

I mustn't get excited.

CL: Mel also keen on another midfielder #wba

Steven B:Pepe Mel more or less confirms another midfielder is due later today. Rosenberg, Dorrans and Popov could all exit #wba later.

I'm suddenly getting excited again.

Chris Lepkowski @chrislepkowski 19m
No interest in Riera #wba

Chris Lepkowski @chrislepkowski 23m
Popov might be allowed to leave. Mel: "We have three left-backs...Popov, Ridgewell...I also think Chris Brunt can play left-back"

No left back likely

Haha

Should know better Teixy.

It'll end in

I tried not to get excited as well. One midfielder in likely at least.

If anyone is interested in our rivals: West Ham are close to signing Pablo Armero from Napoli (another left back we have missed out on).

Fulham have signed Lewis Holtby from Spurs. Berbatov is going to Monaco.

We need a LB.

What's the latest on the French kid?

Any info on him lads I'm jammed at work!!!

Steve Madeley @smadeley_star 3h
Told Spanish reports re Thievy are premature. No deal yet agreed, although still very much 'a goer'. #wba

That was three hours ago. Lepkowski, Madeley nor Steven B have tweeted for about 45mins. Come on. We need info.

A midfielder and a striker? We need a fookin left back

Popov may be on his way. Would that be to free up another foreign loan place?

Why am I getting excited?

Stop it Coxy your building me up for another fall...

!!!!!
Steven B @StevenWBA 2m
Sources in North West claim #wba have made a bid for Jordan Rhodes.

I'd prefer an experienced attacker oppose to another unknown youth prospect.

My opinion is we already have Bera and Vydra for that.

I'd take Rhodes everyday

The general feeling is Albion will sign a striker with Thievy the strong favourite. Midfielder could follow IF Dorrans leaves. #wba

Who have our rivals been signing.
