da bet sport: West Brom were very active in the transfer window with much of their business being complete in the final few days.
da imperador bet: In came forward Callum Robinson on loan from Sheffield United, Hull City winger Kamil Grosicki and full-back Lee Peltier from Cardiff City whilst Benfica loanee Chris Willock left to join Huddersfield Town.
However, one Baggies ace didn’t get the move they desired as Nathan Ferguson’s potential eight-figure move to Premier League Crystal Palace fell through at the final hurdle.
It is believed that the Eagles sourced a troubling knee injury during his medical that would require surgery, and that was enough to put them off completing the deal.
Now fans have been discussing his future at the Hawthorns on social media.
Here’s what has been said…
Unsurprisingly, a clear comparison has been made to former Baggies and usual ‘bag egg’ example, Saido Berahino.
The 26-year-old now plays for Zulte Waregem in Belgium having once been involved in a transfer saga with Tottenham Hotspur that never materialised. His relationship with then-manager Tony Pulis and chairman Jeremy Peace became very strained before he was sold to Stoke City.
Some fans appear to be making a direct link between the pair’s “attitude” – one even questioned whether it was something they needed around the place during a promotion push.
While others looked to put the blame on the agent…
Several of the Hawthorns faithful believed it was his representative looking for a big payday, one that was badly advising him.
Though, this didn’t stop the majority of supporters from wanting Ferguson either out the club or sat in the stands each week.
Here’s what they have said…
“Rot in the u23s” and “never play for us again” were two bold calls from some fans whilst one demanded the club “get rid” as soon as possible.
Despite all the negativity, one man saw a glimmer of light in the recent turn of events, he believed that it could become a “win-win” situation as he is a young player with ambition and if Albion get promoted, then Ferguson is likely to stay.
With rising concerns over this sudden knee injury, it remains to be seen if the 19-year-old has much of a future during the rest of the season – he is out of contract in the summer after all.
Who the heck is that?! Can you name all of these obscure West Brom players…
