Seems to have gone quiet and now teams such as stoke etc are looking at other players... wonder if we will actually keep them until the first window..

Got a feeling teams and going to wait and see how Dann and Zigic get on before they make a move due to their fitness..

Would be great to keep some of them, but my fear is that we'll end up selling for half what they are worth on deadline day and be left with very little income and a depleted squad.

If people want out if would be nice to get rid ASAP. Lets sell Ridgewell (WBA), Zigic (anyone), Jerome (Stoke) and play hardball with the real assets like Foster and Dann.

Ridgewells told BBC WM that he has heard nothing about a potential move and will play in the championship.

Ridgewell - Versatile Centre Back/Left Back who chips in with goals.

Zigic - scored many important goals for us last season and would probably have kept us up if it wasn't for injury.

Jerome - still has potential if played in the right tactics to get between 10 and 25 goals this season.

I do agree with the first points though, if we are going to sell we should sell now.

They're looking to farm Zigic out on a season-long loan with a view to either selling him if we don't get promoted or recalling him if we do.

dann n jerome to stoke 16mil according to mirror website

The same Mirror website who claim Dann wants £35k, and then a £16m double deal with Jerome will go through... then, in another article, same day, same site, say Stoke want Crouch as "Jerome and Carlton Cole have snubbed them"

The same Mirror website who claim Dann wants ?5k, and then a ?6m double deal with Jerome will go through... then, in another article, same day, same site, say Stoke want Crouch as "Jerome and Carlton Cole have snubbed them"

Ridgewellis my favorite player.Totally professional, just to watch him marshall the defence from either CH or RB is brilliant.(especially as RJ runs at times like a headless chicken) What he lacks is pace he makes up for with his football brain.

Really hope he stays, a good example on and off the pitch to the younger players.

Absolutely not. What I meant by "real assets" is that we'd probably recoup about £3m for Ridgewell, £3m for Zigic and maybe £4m for Jerome IMO. Whereas I think Dann and Foster could command 8 figure fees. If we ended up selling Dann and Foster for £5m a piece it would be a joke, but I could live with selling the other for a little less than they are worth to allow us to get replacements in sooner.

For what its worth I really like Ridgewell - he's got a great attitude and breezed the Championship at CB last time, and is no doubt and better defender now than then. I do worry about him at CB in the Prem, but he's shown he's versatile enough to play at LB too. What you gain in goals from added heigh at set pieces etc though you do miss in assists etc from an overlapping fullback with pace and width.

I'd also love to keep hold of Zigic - I think the blokes a legend. I very much doubt he wants to stay here though, and his wages and probably crippling us.

If we can get to 1st September with a couple of these guys still at the club we've got a far better chance of promotion IMO. How about agreeing with Dann that we will sell him in January if we are not in the top 4, and a big club comes in for him?

Keep Foster, Ridgewell and Beausejour at all costs, sell Jerome and Zigic and try to bring in a loan player to add to the frontline.

Scott Dann on the other hand, if we got an offer too good to turn down, and I mean £10-12 million then sell, as long as we can spend some money to bring in an adequate replacement then I'd be happy.

I'd like us to keep Foster and Ridgey any of the others would be a bonus. Fossy is worth 10 points a season and that may be the difference between automatic or play offs, play offs or mid table, survival or disaster!!
Ridgey is a class act at left back and weighs in with a few goals so I think he's worth his weight.
Of the others, Ziggy was unplayable when he was fit and settled into the team in the prem so championship teams won't cope with him.
The club have to balance the books but also have an eye on the long term finances so promotion will/should be a priority and supporting CH should be a given.

Most transfer activity will happen in the last few days and remaining hours of the window, then's the time to start worrying.

i have,nt heard anything from my albion mates with regards ridgewell, i would definatly take him but have heard nothing. and on the official web site it said they were looking abroard for a goalkeeper, but in this mornings local paper (in manchester) it said albion would sign foster next week, but again i have heard nothing from the albion.i think its all just paper talk.

I think potential clubs will wait until mid/end of august, and see how fit dann and zigic are in the first few games. But this would leave hughton very little time to replace them.
We could do without players leaving on transfer deadline day.
