As of lunchtime today WBA are out of the race after having thought they'd agreed a deal for him earlier in the week. WBA still playing hard ball with the fee on Brunt but talks are continuing.
Good that we get put in our place early in the window by West Brom so that expectations can be set to a reasonable level. We just have to accept that we're at that level now and then things dont seem so bad.
The guy mentioned £8-10m to me, at £8m I'd be happy, wouldn't want to pay much more than that. Did hear figures of £12m a couple of days back but think that's a bit on the steep side.
