doesn't sound like he's coming back The Baggies fans will forever be in my heart. They made me feel at home from day one & I'll be eternally grateful for how they supported my family and I. Playing at the Hawthorns and giving my all for @WBA has been one of the best experiences of my life. I wish you all the best.
His contract ends at the end of the season and it's looks unlikely he'd renew.
We will trigger a one year option during the course of the season and get a fee next summer. I don't envisage him playing for us again. A terrible shame and the biggest disappointment of relegation.
Hate to disagree. I'm delighted that the none-goalscoring striker can no longer not score goals us. If he'd done his job last season we'd still be in the PL.
Maybe if we'd created a bit more he might have done a bit better. Hat-trick against Swansea all headers, two from Brunt crosses, so what do we do ? stick Brunt in the middle, fantastic eh !!
I'm yet to find a single Albion fan who thinks Brunt should be playing central midfield. Consensus on that of 25,000.00 to 3, the later being the manager and his coaching staff. You'd think after the shambles at the weekend the penny might drop soon but I'm not holding my breath.Rondon missed a lot of chances last season though at key times in big games. That Swansea hat-trick game goes all the way back to 2016/17 (actually managed to miss three one-on-ones and yet score three headers). Swansea last season Rondon should have scored home and away and failed both times. Ditto when we played Stoke, Palace, Everton and a few other six pointers.
In that particular game though Brunt's crosses were from quite deep and from positions he would have easily occupied as a cdm. I don't think he's as bad in the centre as is being made out. He needs someone in front of him to link with the attack though. Against Barnsley and Coventry he had Morrison coming a little deeper to get the pass off him and then link with HRK and Barnes (against Coventry). That's what was missing on Saturday.Anyway back to Rondon, I wish him well at Newcastle but I'd be amazed if he turns out to be any better than he has been here.
No news yet on Zhang.
