Baggies Move Inevitable For Hulse?

Robbie Hulse
It seems Hulse just doesn't want to go to Cardiff and you can see why. Hulse would probably rather not move all the way to Cardiff when he knows more local clubs are following him - or at least clubs where he would be able to settle down.

The only 3 clubs we, the fans, know are interested are
Cardiff, West Brom and Norwich - with the latter two saying they're lining up a bid for the 22 year old. Norwich could probably convince him with a good friend and former team-mate there, Mark Rivers. There is a problem though as it's unlikely Norwich
will have the funds to get Hulse.

West Brom though seems perfect. It's well known Hulse wanted to go to West Brom this time last year, when they bid £2.5million for him, and with today’s news that West Brom
could be lining up a bid Hulse may be finally on his way out.

West Brom do have the funds to match Cardiff
’s £700k-£million bid - and certainly will should they sell their 'unwanted' want-away striker Jason Roberts. Tomorrow (Thursday) will see a board meeting at the midlands club where they will decide such things, whether Roberts' transfer request is granted and if so will Hulse be their new striker?

Also
West Brom are more local than Cardiff and Hulse wouldn't have to move far - if at all. So should West Brom place Jason Roberts on the transfer list, I think it may only be a matter of time before Hulse sign's for them. West Brom are my tip to run away with the division next season, they certainly have a promotion challenge on their hands and it's ultimately what Hulse wants.
