According to reports we are in pole position in getting Tom Lawrence. My derby buddy rates him highly.what you reckon.he is or was their captain.

A really good signing if we can get him.
I don’t think we can keep getting this lucky with “frees” though so I expect he’ll end up elsewhere.
I suppose that if a player is moving to or within the Championship, we are what could be termed as a 'glamour' club at that level. I realise that we only finished 10th but the name West Bromwich Albion, despite what many of us think, is still an attraction. This could assist us in bringing players to the club. I could be wrong of course!
Forest are said to be interested though, fairly local for him and a Prem club as well.
I like Lawrence as a player and he has midfield goals in his game at a good ratio.
Maybe we’re aiming to out score everyone and not worry about our dire defence!?
I've said before I think Lawrence would be a great addition. I can't believe we could get him as well as the last two signings! We will have some team if we do get him.
Be a good catch for us if we can land him. If we do, it's been a much better start to pre season recruitment than I'd anticipated (not that that bar was very high😀
But we’re weak at the back at centre half, we need a right back, a defensive midfielder with the energy of Mulumbu or the awareness of Yacob or Yoksulu and we need another forward because Dike is made of rice paper.
Don’t be fooled by two or three additions to the more advanced midfield positions.
I think before the start of the window our strongest position was centre half. If we play 4 at the back, we've got Bartley, Ajayi, O'Shea, Kipre, Taylor. All players who could do a job there.
And our weakest position at that point was attacking midfield / striker. Well if we get Lawrence we'll have a lot of options in AM now.
I think now we are weakest at both full back positions and in defensive midfield. If we sign a full back on either side and a holding midfielder, maybe a back up striker for Dike - we've had as good a window as could be expected.
Until some dead wood is moved out I am not that impressed with the signings.
They will still most likely play second fiddle to the stale wood we still have.
Not a chance in Hell that we will get Tom Lawrence
