West Brom move for Villa fullback Shorey

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Sun, 09/06/2009 - 08:56

Aston Villa fullback Nicky Shorey is a target for West Brom.

The Sunday Mirror says Shorey, 28, faces playing second fiddle to £8million signing Stephen Warnock and is desperate for regular first-team football.

Albion were alerted after a deadline-day loan move to Portsmouth broke down because boss Paul Hart wouldn’t guarantee he’d start ahead of Herman Hreidarsson.

West Brom have been using central defender Marek Cech at left-back after letting Paul Robinson move to Bolton, and want a more experienced replacement. They are likely to move as soon as the Football League’s loan window re-opens this week.

The deal would suit Villa, who want to keep Shorey on their books as an insurance against any problems in Wilfred Bouma’s recovery from a long-term ankle injury.

Firstly, Cech has never been a central defender, and secondly, we havn't been using him at left-back this season, Mattock's been there and Cech has been at left midfield.
