‘Massive blow’ – West Brom Super Fans react to Grady Diangana news story
This is part of a regular series from our panel of West Brom Super Fans. Each week, our Super Fans will deliver their verdicts on the biggest talking points and news stories around The Hawthorns.

West Brom fans have been dealt some hard-to-take news about the future of loan star Grady Diangana this week.
According to West Ham news website Claret & Hugh, the Hammers have no interest in selling Diangana, 22, when the transfer window re-opens.
Even if they are relegated, it is understood that David Moyes will want to make Diangana a key player in his side, which is a major blow to West Brom’s hopes of signing the winger permanently with Slaven Bilic keen on a deal.
Diangana has been superb for the Baggies this season, scoring five goals and assisting six in his 21 Championship appearances for them.
Although he’s had his injury issues since December, there is no doubting that the Baggies wouldn’t be where they are in the table right now if Bilic didn’t sign the England Under-21 international in the summer.

We would all love to see Diangana sign permanently but there is no denying that it is going to be difficult.
West Ham are very well-off financially – just look at how much money they’ve spent on bang-average players in the last few years.
It would take a lot to twist their arm but who knows? Stranger things have happened in football.
In other West Brom news, Lee Hendrie has tipped this Baggies star to do well in the Premier League if he bases his game on a Wolves player.
