Carlos Corberan ‘helps West Brom transfers’ after multi-million cash injection
West Brom are benefitting from the compensation received for Carlos Corberan in the transfer window, Dan Plumley has said.

The Albion have reinvested part of that figure to sign Isaac Price from Sporting Liege for a fee of £2.5m in the winter transfer window already.
Speaking exclusively told West Brom News, Plumley admitted: “I think that is a fair assumption to make.”
“Of course, you did not want to lose the manager but at least you are going to get a decent amount in compensation.
“You might have made that signing anyway but of course, it’s that kind of, every little helps scenario isn’t it?
“Whether or not this transfer would have probably been made regardless of the manager situation, maybe, but you know if you have got that money in the bank from the compensation fee then it helps going out the other way with players that you are trying to bring in.”
Price can help West Brom promotion push
The new addition has featured from the bench in the last two Baggies matches as Tony Mowbray beds him into the squad.
The new manager has won just one of his first three matches in the dugout for The Hawthorns outfit since he returned to the club.
He will hope that the 21-year-old Northern Ireland midfielder can step up and drive his side further up the table in the run-in.
Albion currently occupy the final playoff place in the Championship but Middlesbrough could overhaul them if they beat Sunderland on 3 February.
