West Brom boss Tony Pulis is planning a double swoop on Manchester United for defenders Chris Smalling and Phil Jones. Smalling, 27, and Jones, 25, both have two years left on their contracts at Old Trafford. (Daily Mirror)

Surely no longer has a need for Craig Dawson if this comes off ?

Thought the same when I read that Cuban, I think there's a lot of deals that are pending other deals happening.

Yes but BBC reckons he will be going to Stoke on loan with them paying £7m.

Pulis is planning to play a team of 10 centre backs + a goalie

Still trying to get further info , as I said the cork one was 100% but the McArthur was was one person back on the info. I am still in for the charity payment if it does not come off.

Baggies finally sign a defender. 26yo Egyptian international Ahmed Hegazi.
With Macauley not getting any younger and Evans linked for a move away this could all be meaningless as regards Dawson but we can hope.

'valued at £2 million'. Is that correct or a misprint?

If it isn't we should be looking to get a deal done as soon as possible - £2m hardly covers a League 1 player these days!! If we went into the new season with Cork, Hendrick, Defour, Westwood and McArthur in the squad I'd be delighted. There's some real quality and PL experience in that bunch.

Concern with McArthur is that it would leave us with 4 very orthodox central midfielders who (with the relative exception of Hendrick) aren't that forward thinking - I'd sooner our fourth central midfielder was someone like Clucas, capable operating wide or centrally. But at £2 million quid he'd be an absolutely cracking signing and have plenty of money left over to bring in another wide player.

Jenkinson and McArthur would be good signings but we need a CB, winger and striker as a priority.

Is Jota a winger come striker? Decent on the ball from the little I've seen but will he bring the pace that we lack?

McArthur is 29 and currently injured. It'd be a very short term signing.

Well we do need player for now....

£2m is very cheap in today's terms however I agree that a lot of our midfielders seem quite 'samey' and McArthur would only add to this.

Why short term when players are now playing at the top until past their 35th birthday. I think this over 30 tag needs to be altered as players are playing much longer nowadays and are adding 3/4 years onto their careers with better diets and increased fitness levels

It's gone really quiet on the transfer rumours front.

Has Alan Nixon tweeted or mentioned anything in his paper articles about us being interested in anyone?

I'm not sure what this age issue is. Taylor, 23 is he? Cork 28 (pretty much prime) and Walters who is far more clinical and anyone who has watched him down the years knows he is adaptable and equally a threat. Unless you forgot his exquisite goal against us last season already!
We have a number of weeks ahead of us. Probably a number of bizarre links too. Are we stronger? Slghtly weaker defensively but I hope to God that is solved soon, as if we lose Mee especially in the opening weeks and are left with Long and Tarkowski. We face a long battle.

Don't buy that at all. If you look after your body, realistically it's possible to go on to 40 if you're adaptable. Look at Pirlo ffs!

All gone quiet at the minute, we are probably weaker than last year as it stands. We are a striker, centre half and winger away Imo. Quite happy with the signings of Cork and Taylor, Cork makes little sense because he's quite similar to Westwood but he's a good player. Walters signing to play games is a mystery to me, hes taking up a place in the squad outwide and upfront, both positions need further strengthening. Walters will be fourth choice striker and 4th choice winger if we sign another winger and a striker for the first 11. Hes basically left the bench at Stoke to sit on it here unless Walters is seen as one of the striker/winger signings, if so then its totally underwhelming.

I think the signings make sense IF Dyche wants to be more flexible. The new players will certainly help out in a 4-5-1 or a 4-3-2-1 (I`ll keep pushing it!). The effectiveness though is HUGELY dependent (in my opinion) on Gray and especially Defour being made central to our style of play.

We shall see but a couple more signings (a `3rd` centre half is a must) will see us reet IF Dyche releases the shackles against teams outside of the Top 10 at least.
