Ally Robertson makes brilliant West Brom transfer suggestion
Ally Robertson has made it clear that West Brom need to bring new faces in the summer transfer window.
Realistically, the play-off hopes are as good as over, and West Brom must now rebuild from scratch and plan for the future ahead.
The club legend has suggested that the Baggies need to sign players who can make good runs in the box.
“Adding more flair to the squad is absolutely imperative this summer,” wrote Robertson in his column for Express and Star.
“I think we need more creativity in central midfield and also in the forward positions.
“We need players who are better on the ball and who make better runs.”
Summer planning
The summer transfer window is absolutely vital for the Baggies.
After a disappointing season, they must plan for the future and Steve Bruce needs to make some bold calls.
It remains to be seen how much money Bruce will be allowed to spend, but the club must try their best to bring in the right quality of players.
Robertson is absolutely spot on here. The club needs creative players in midfield. Also, there’s hardly any mobility in the team, and this is one area Bruce needs to consider.
Sam Johnstone will leave the club as a free agent, but the Baggies do not need to buy another goalkeeper. Alex Palmer and David Button should be given more chances.
Bruce has got great contacts with clubs in the Premier League and he should aim to bring quality players on loan who can make a great impact.
Also, the club need to ship out some of the fringe players who are on high wages and fat contracts. The club may have to incur losses, but that’s the price you’ve to pay for faulty decision making in the first place.
