Scott Sinclair offered chance to revive career at West Bromwich Albion after season at Manchester City
Steve Clarke wants to offer Manchester City winger Scott Sinclair the chance to revive his career at West Bromwich Albion.

Clarke, the West Brom head coach, is keen to take Sinclair on loan for the season and discussions between the two clubs are believed to be ongoing.
Sinclair has travelled with City for their pre-season tour of Hong Kong after fully recovering from surgery after a blood clot but will be allowed to leave by new manager Manuel Pellegrini.
The 24-year-old has endured a frustrating 12 months after a £6.2 million move from Swansea and is determined to kick-start his career in a bid to propel himself into contention for the England team.
West Brom face competition from Everton and Stoke City but have made their interest known to City and are hopeful of securing a deal before the start of the season.
City would favour a permanent deal but that seems unlikely as Clarke is working on a tight budget, with Albion more intent on exploiting domestic loans.

Clarke is also waiting for the green light from his board to fund a £2.6 million move for Lille forward Salomon Kalou.
The former Chelsea player earns around £75,000 a week at the Ligue 1 club but Clarke has made him one of his priority targets for the summer

How about WBA give us some money and pay Sinclairs full wages then take Kalou on loan with Lille paying 50% of his wage? I'm a bit pissed off with us always coming out on the shit side of these deals.

There's quite a difference between a small club such as Lille who are working on a tight budget and may see Kalou as being vitally important to them, and if was to leave that club, he would have to be replaced at a price, and City who are wealthy and have quality players who can't even make the bench.

There's also a health risk to consider, a blood clot in the wrong place could have been career or even life threatening. Clubs take out insurance on players to protect their investment, and insurance companies premiums are likely to be higher where a player has suffered an illness like this, probably high enough to make an outright purchase unviable. If Sinclair proves himself through form and health over the next year, it would be a different matter.

Re: Scott Sinclair. WBA?

Tell them to eff off with their loan offer. He is a young winger, English, and on reasonable wages. There is no reason to loan and I'm sure there will be interest from clubs in buying him before too long. Everton have already shown interest. West Brom seem to want to operate like an Italian club - this new TV revenue gives them plenty of money to spend just £5million on Sinclair.

I suppose one reason to loan him might be so that he can get back playing again and attract some/more interest. If he had a good season on loan we could get a better fee, possibly

They're taking advantage of a club with a bad hand.

They have signed Anelka so wages aren't a problem.

City should make it loan with view to buy depending on minutes played.

Sinclair having game time at WBA and having a good season would help us achieve 8-10m next summer when he's sold. QPR come up again from Championship and there's a buyer straight away I reckon.

There is truth to this...but most likely his value is not going to skyrocket. IMO better to sell for a 1 million pound loss now than drag this out for another year in hopes of making a 2-3 million pound profit.

Re: Scott Sinclair. WBA?

it would only be a sale or loan with a sale at the end, we aren t just going to loan him for game time !

Doesn't a loan with an option to buy, which isn't taken up, just equal a loan?

If we don't want him we should hold out till the end of the window for a sale and only loan him as a last resort.

BTW do you think our spending is finished? I think we need a centre half badly.
