West Bromwich Albion appeared like that they had struck an distinctive deal after they managed to persuade West Ham United to permit Grady Diangana to go away completely.
The winger had loved a profitable mortgage spell on the Hawthorns, however hypothesis had mounted over whether or not the Hammers would enable certainly one of their star prospects to go away.
Will Diangana come good for West Brom?
Sure
No

When the deal was sanctioned, followers have been in an uproar. Even membership captain Mark Noble took to social media to assert: “As captain of this soccer membership I’m gutted, offended and unhappy that Grady has left, nice child with an excellent future!”
His emotions have been identified, however an £18m payment represented a coup for the Baggies and respectable worth for the Irons on the time.
Nonetheless, with how the transfer has gone, it looks as if the pendulum has swung massively in favour of it being a much better deal for West Ham.
Eight objectives and seven assists helped propel West Brom to promotion from Championship, nevertheless simply one purpose the season following noticed them drop straight again out of the Premier League.
Below the stress of the highest flight, the 24-year-old crumbled.
In his most up-to-date full season, in the course of the 2021/22 marketing campaign, he scored twice and assisted simply as soon as in 41 appearances. His kind has dropped dramatically, and what was an enormous outlay on the time solely appears to look increasingly more of a daft deal.
So, with simply one Premier League purpose and 11 Championship objectives, he has value the membership a worrying £1.5m per league purpose.
Not solely this, however on a wage of £20k-per-week he has doubtless value in complete £23m.
It has been a switch nightmare for a membership clearly struggling financially. They might solely muster a complete switch spend of £1.21m final summer season, counting on Steve Bruce to herald predominantly free transfers.
What appeared like a pointy piece of enterprise has turned bitter rapidly for West Brom, who’re reliant on him to be their star man due to his price ticket.
West Ham will likely be delighted with how this saga has turned out, while Bruce is left selecting up the items.
