Layton Love says no to Cheltenham Town

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Layton Love had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Hull City come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and West Bromwich Albion did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Josh Dasilva due for a West Bromwich Albion medical

Everything agreed with Brentford, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Chris Mepham signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Chris Mepham and West Bromwich Albion agree another 4 years.

The manager makes an example of Aune Heggebø

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

A falling-out at West Bromwich Albion

Brayann Pereira and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

West Bromwich Albion are still strangers to each other

8 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Chris Mepham knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Chris Mepham trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

A season on the outside for Aune Heggebø

He trains hard, says the right things and goes home to an empty flat. Nobody at West Bromwich Albion has done anything wrong, which is exactly what makes it so difficult to fix.

Chris Mepham in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at West Bromwich Albion this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Toby Collyer signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Toby Collyer and West Bromwich Albion agree another 4 years.

PAOK tell West Bromwich Albion: Jonjoe Kenny is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Accrington Stanley watching Akeel Higgins

The interest is real enough to have reached print. West Bromwich Albion have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Tammer Bany wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at West Bromwich Albion can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Words at West Bromwich Albion training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Brayann Pereira is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

West Bromwich Albion try to borrow Josh Dasilva

Brentford have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Chris Mepham knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Chris Mepham trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Nobody at West Bromwich Albion has picked up the phone to Toby Collyer

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.
