WEST BROM AGREE SAWYERS FEE
West Brom have agreed a fee with Brentford to sign Romaine Sawyers.
Sky Sports News understands the deal to be in the region of £3m, and the midfielder is set to undergo a medical with the Baggies on Friday.
Celtic had been one of a number of other clubs interested in signing the 27-year-old, who has just one year left on his contract at Griffin Park.
[..]
The Gunners have already met Celtic’s asking price — but refused to pay the money up front.
Celtic are not interested in payment clauses that might never be realised. The Scotland star is under contract until 2023 and that leaves them in a strong position.
But Arsenal believe the clubs aren’t actually that far apart and can still reach agreement.

The deal hold up is only they want more money upfront we already met thier asking price it's shouldn't be problem. Can understand why we taking our time he still recovering and won't even start the seasonIt's good that write-up from Scotland is just about the upfront + addons mix (25m total). Celtic might want a sell-on clause, but hopefully our executives can secure a transfer without one.
Done?!? You don’t see the imminent urge to sign a central defender? I see it as our most important piece of business yet to be done.Hopefully we get this done beflre 1st of August so we'll have ebough time to get winger and be done with this window
I see your frustration with our current options but one of the key reasons our squad is unbalanced is the wing areas and midfield. Plugging the wholes is a universal thing not necessarily fixed by buying a CB.Done?!? You don’t see the imminent urge to sign a central defender?

It's got to be both, without one of a new winger or CB we will struggle to achieve anything this season. Without both it's pretty much a pointless season.
It’s a fair argument, but - to me - it’s flawed. Yes we defnitely need better players on the wings, and they can defnitely help us to some extent. But our current state of central defence is abysmal. Our wing players can’t defend all crosses in our box. We need solid defenders to do that job.I see your frustration with our current options but one of the key reasons our squad is unbalanced is the wing areas and midfield.

So you are satisfied with Mustafi and Sokrates leading the defensive line next year?Because we lack attacking outlets in midfield and on the wings we can get easily pinned back by the opposition with minimal risks. It's the reason why we couldn't consistently control games last season and conceded so many chances. A bigger and better center back won't solve these problems.
When Holding comes back we have him and Sokratis... Who do we have on the wings?It’s a fair argument, but - to me - it’s flawed.
