Why not?

Obviously he's talking about backup for WBA.

There is no reason why he wouldnt be in with a shout of playing in the first team at West Brom.

Kyle Bartley is nothing special, if I was Kipre I’d be fancying my chances of forcing my way into that West Brom side, premier league football and double the wages he’d get here, as soon as West Brom showed interest in him we were done for.

Darryl Horgan struggled to have an impact at Preston. Not sure he is good enough to do much at this level.

[unleaded]

Here’s Hoping TM didn’t have Kipre in mind when he said we are close to signing a player  ... 

The headline gave the impression that it was very imminent but by the end of it he was saying in one or 2 weeks we hope to have something ... typical TM ... He did that with Jones at Liverpool .... 

No idea what he and Waggott do till 8pm every night at Brockhall ...

Maybe turn out like the last player we picked up from PNE. And yes I know it's only been a few appearances but pretty much a non risk bit of business. 

[blondie]

Strong rumours Josh King going to Spurs .Would guess £2-£3 million might be coming our way.

Presume the deal Mowbray mentioned was not one for Kipre.

You would hope that we have other bids for players in and thats one he is talking about/ Probably Naby Sarr or back up keeper

Just what you don't want, Tony calling to waffle and talk in riddles for half an hour while you're having tea.

Horgan on his way to Wycombe according to Scottish press.

Harrison Reed joined Fulham on a permanent deal following their promotion. I expect him to be quickly sent out on loan to 3rd division Hull so he can learn some more from Richie Smallwood.

[Boroblue]

Pre this I’d never really heard of kipre. He’s only a Wigan defender. He’s now the holy grail. Less than a million when top draw defenders go for 30 million. 

Came from Motherwell to wigan via the French league. It journeyman stuff. Would a journey man choose more money at wba?obviously he would. 

Are there more players of kipre standard? Very very probably.

Most of it is desperation from us. We’ve missed out on an average player. Move on

You’re right mate. Shows how far we’ve plummetted

He was, now Fulham have done a deal to get him permanently.

Amazing that a newly promoted Premier League side see enough to splash the cash on him yet he wasn't good enough for our midfield.

I dont think there are other players of Kipre's standard for a 6 figure fee that we could attract here.

Kipre has been excellent for Wigan and was key in them keeping 10 clean sheets in 11 games during which time we kept 0. The only reason that he is available for such a low fee is because his club are in administration.

Here what you are saying but when I have seen him he has been really good, defended with no frills or compromise, just what is required here.  With regard to West Brom please note that the latest information is coming exclusively from the Daily Mail or Daily Facist as I prefer to call it, so I will wait until I hear it from a more reliable source.
