West Brom fans buzzing as medical booked for Eric Ramsay signing number two
Shilen Patel is doing what he can to aid Eric Ramsay in the second half of the season, as West Brom near their second winter signing.
The Baggies are restricted this window, and Patel knows the Profit and Sustainability Rules that he has to navigate around for any potential deals.
West Brom already pulled off a shrewd signing in Max O’Leary, with the finances of the deal working in Albion’s favour.
Ramsay would like additional signings, as his squad lacks in certain areas to suit his tactical needs.
Danny Imray’s potential move to The Hawthorns looks on, and Albion fans are over the moon that Ramsay’s right-wing back issue may now be solved.
West Brom fans excited over Danny Imray news
The Baggies are set to sign Imray on loan from Crystal Palace until the end of the season, after the right-sided player returned to the Eagles this month following a successful spell with Blackpool.
The 22-year-old has been a regular starter for the Tangerines, but is ready for the next step in his development, and could be a crucial asset for Ramsay going forward.
Danny Imray’s League One stats with Blackpool:
- Games: 13
- Goals: 2
- Assists: 2
- Average Sofascore rating: 7.11
According to respected West Brom fan account EyaWeGew on X, there is now a planned medical in place for Imray’s imminent loan switch to the Albion.
Baggies fans have gathered on social media to express their delight over Ramsay’s destined second signing, with a chant for Imray already in the works.
One West Brom supporter wrote: “Superb signing.”
Another Albion fan claimed: “Huge fan of this. Perfect attributes for RWB – could see a world where we get a perm deal done in the summer too. Dynamic CM now, and that should be enough to get us through this mess of a season.”
What Imray signing means for Eric Ramsay’s system
Isaac Price has been rather shoehorned in at right-wing back in recent weeks, and it’s clearly not the position that the attacking midfielder is used to, or wants to play.
Imray offers lightning quick pace from touchline-wide areas and will give Albion a major outlet to play counterattacking football.
The Palace starlet has shone for the Eagles at youth level, and a move to the Championship is what he needs and deserves.
Imray’s tipped arrival will surely see Price move back into a more attacking role, where he can have an influence in the final third with less defensive responsibilities.
Wing-back’s were integral to Ramsay’s success in America, and the former Manchester United first-team coach could be about to show supporters his true tactical nous with the signing of Imray.
