Feel sorry for
#WHU
fans.
Letting go of an incredible player in Grady Diangana for a such a low fee when he’ll be worth double what
#WBA
paid for him in a year or two.
Everyone can see it’s a bad decision except for their greedy board.

🗣 — Valerien Ismael on Matheus Pereira:
“We spoke really openly about the situation. We made it simple, you are in or you are out. If you are in, you are 100 per cent. He said he would give 100 per cent and he is focused.”

Former loanee Mason Holgate has fond memories of his time at the Hawthorns.
“West Brom was the best thing that I’ve ever done.
“I loved every minute of it there, I was playing every game and I learned so much from being there.”

Matheus Pereira has said a heartfelt goodbye to Sporting Lisbon via the Portuguese press:
“I will always have a feeling of gratitude to Sporting. I’m grateful for the opportunity, for opening the door to Europe.
“I’m super happy as a West Brom player. It starts a new story.”

🗣 — Valerien Ismael on Sam Johnstone:
“I was told the expectation was that he would leave, but now it’s a new situation. Sam has made a clear statement [by coming back from holiday early]. He has said he wants to be part of what’s going on. He is clearly committed to us.”

🗣 Filipe Teixeira: “If I had to choose one club (as my favourite) it would be West Bromwich Albion.
“It wasn’t easy to begin with as the football was very different but all my colleagues helped me to feel good.
“I only have good things to say about my time there.”

So now West Brom must beat QPR on Wednesday to achieve promotion...
QPR, in 16th, have nothing to play for now and a loss would see their London rivals, Fulham and Brentford, miss out on promotion...
@QPR
- Do us a favour, would ya?

BREAKING: West Brom are set to sign Matheus Pereira on a permanent deal in the January transfer window.
Slaven Bilić claims the Brazilian has done “more than enough” to prove his worth, and now his buyout clause will be activated.

It’s easy to slate the goalkeeper when things go wrong, but tonight you’ve got to give credit where credit is due: Sam Johnstone played an absolute blinder. Top man 👏

A look at 19-year-old Romelu Lukaku’s record with West Brom back in 2012/2013:
📋 - 35 appearances
🎯 - 17 goals
🤝 - 7 assists
He was something else... 🔥
Today is a dark day. Bilić was so passionate and visibly proud to be in charge of the Baggies. He transformed us from “boring West Brom” to a side that were entertaining to watch.
And now we’re going back to slow, turgid football under Allardyce - like we had with Pulis.
These lads bumped into Filip Krovinovic out in Croatia and after revealing they’re Baggies fans and getting a photo, Krov walked over with Matheus Pereira on facetime 😂
Slaven Bilić on his transfer plans:
“We have to do something similar to Sheffield United, not like Aston Villa, and definitely not like Norwich who didn’t even try anything.
“We need to invest, but in quality - quality.”

West Brom have agreed a deal to re-sign Okay Yokuslu. The 28-year-old rejected Galatasaray and Besiktas to return to The Hawthorns.

One player who deserves more credit than he gets is Conor Townsend.
He doesn’t tend to be noticed by many fans because it’s Pereira, Diangana, etc, who grab the headlines, but he’s one of the most consistent performers in the side.
Always reliable, always professional. Top man.

And I don’t blame Leicester for recalling him so early — he was already Premier League standard.

🗣 Ian Wright speaking about Matheus Pereira’s red card on
#MOTD2
:
“I can’t see the red card in it. That’s meant to be a red? He’s not hurt, it’s just another player screaming. It’s almost laughable. The ref has to look back at it and say ‘get on with it’.”
Impressive debut for Mbaye Diagne considering he hadn’t trained for two days, had been travelling for one and arrived at the team hotel at nearly 11pm last night.
Still managed to get an assist on his debut 👏

#WBA
According to reports, West Brom are willing to pay €10M (£8.9M) to make Filip Krovinovic’s loan deal become permanent.
However, the deal will only be initiated if Albion gain promotion to the Premier League.
