Koumas Bid Accepted

BBC;

West Brom have accepted a bid of £5.3m from Wigan for Wales international midfielder Jason Koumas.
The Baggies turned down previous offers from Birmingham and Fulham, who offered cash plus players for the 27-year-old.

West Brom chairman Jeremy Peace said: "We have said all along we will only consider selling players like Jason if we receive head-turning offers.

"The deal must also be in the club's best interests and we feel this offer mirrors those criteria."

There had been speculation about Koumas' future ever since West Brom lost the Championship play-off final at the hands of Derby in May.

The Baggies made it clear that they were unwilling to allow any of their star players to leave on the cheap.

Koumas cost the club £2.25m when he arrived from Tranmere in August 2002.

Crazy amount. Stupid little clubs paying over the odds to prevent competition. :angry:

£5.3m is a joke- thank god we didnt go for him, Jags is a much better option and only £4m!!!
