WEST BROM END MEITE CHASE

WEST BROM END MEITE CHASE

Meite - will not be joining West Brom.

West Brom manager Tony Mowbray has confirmed that the Baggies' bid to sign Bolton defender Abdoulaye Meite is "dead in the water".

Wanderers were thought to be interested in a swap deal for the centre-back, with reports linking Jonathan Greening and Paul Robinson with the Reebok Stadium.

However, Mowbray said: "We made an enquiry for the player but we couldn't reach an agreement so we move on. I would suggest it is dead in the water.

"My philosophy when you've got an interest in a player is that you know what your value of that footballer is. If it can't be done, it can't be done, and you move on."
