... squad (according to Wikipedia) contains the following likely lads:
Defender Saul Shotton, who started as a youth player at Bury, left when they imploded and was picked up by WBA. Not played for the first team, spent part of last season on loan at Woking in the National League. As a lurker on the Beardy board (never disliked Bury, reserving my disdain for the Biffos) I seem to remember him being rated as promising by the saner members of the forum.
Midfielder Finn Azaz was on loan at Cheltenham last season, and was a regular in their promotion side. The snag there is that they might want him again.
Forward Callum Norton had a loan spell with Northampton a couple of years ago, scoring in their L2 playoff win. Was on a season's loan at Lincoln last year, but missed a chunk of the season due to a shoulder injury.
All will presumably be well known to Robbie Stockdale... | | | |  |

Saul Shotton very much a ball playing CB in the mould of Hayden Roberts.
He recently signed a new contract at WBA so it's now or never for him to make the step into league football | | | |

Callum Morton would be a great loan signing. | | | |

I suppose that there’s a difference between knowing these players and having the ability to get them on loan.
All three sound like they’d fit the bill though, good research.
But have WBA got a left back who’s available? | | | |

I did a bit of digging on a similar theme around under23's released by WBA around the 20/21 age group . There were quite a number including 2/3 centre backs , a couple of full backs and midfielders , and one French striker who looked quite promising .
Not suggesting any of these would be preferred signings , but might be on the club's radar following RS's appointment if he feels they have potential from his previous knowledge of them . | | | |

WBA released a young holding midfielder called Tom Solanke
20 years of age, so the right age
Currently on trial at Port Vale. | | | |

You'd say that if we signed half of the Italian team from last night. | |

Excellent player, but I'd be surprised if West Brom would be happy with him playing L2 football at this stage. | |

LOL , I must admit TVOS I would because I dont like cheats , even found it sour when Frankie Gamble knocked the ball out of the goalies hands , was it against Wrexham? And didnt care for Barry Diamond after that Stockport game , could cope with Whitehall and Buckley falling over rather easily though :-) . I just meant I would like to see him pick a few older heads which is what we are going to need and unfortunately signing McNumpty on an extra year isnt going to help since L2 is still above his current level . | | | |

Perhaps it may just as pertinent to look at some of the players that RS worked with at Sunderland.
The players that he coached in that really successful under 21 team will be in their mid 20’s now and there are plenty of other players who came and went at the Stadium of Light.
Good, seasoned professionals, not necessarily broken toys.
I’ll throw one name in to start with; Donald Love. | | | |

He'll hardly play, so I wouldn't worry. | |
