Can West Bromwich Albion quickly return to Premier League?
A lot is expected from West Bromwich Albion this season. They may have lost their first game in Championship and managed to grab only a point against Nottingham Forest in their second, but their squad is full of experienced Premier League players. The fact that they’ve finished last in Premier League is not saying much about this team, as once they had a right manager they started winning against some of the best Premier League sides. So can they continue that form in Championship and maybe get a quick return to the Premier League?
Keeping key players is the best thing done in this transfer window?
Sometimes it’s not all about bringing new signings to the team. When you have a big player that attracts a lot of interest from bigger clubs, you have to work really hard to keep him. For example, Crystal Palace biggest signing this season might actually be keeping Wilfried Zaha. They haven’t spent much, but keeping their biggest player was the most important thing for both club and the supporters. Similar thing happened to West Bromwich Albion, they haven’t made a lot of new signings, but keeping Jay Rodríguez in their team is probably the best business they’ve done this summer. There is no doubt that Jay Rodriguez will once again be their key player, and experienced Premier League forward might show even the better form in Championship.
However, it’s not that West Bromwich Albion hasn’t made any signings this season. They have prepared for Championship with brining some of the proven players in the league. Sam Johnstone is an excellent signing for WBA, he proved to be an amazing goalkeeper last season with Aston Villa and there is no reason for him not to continue that form with his new club. With finding a proven striker, West Bromwich Albion once again made an excellent move; they’ve brought Gayle Dwight from Newcastle as striker scored 23 goals last time he played in Championship.
