Luton.

[WBA1955]

Sell their best striker Harry Cornick and still get to the play of final 10 seasons after being in non league football! 😳😤

What a surprise to see tall, physically strong, fast, aggressive, hungry young players making a Sunderland side that played us off the pitch look so poor!

I’d like to bet that if offered the chance EVERY one of those players would’ve chosen to play for West Brom ahead of Luton.

Why the hell can we not get our structure right, progress our youngsters, find the talent lower down and pinch lesser clubs young talent?

The recruitment of our recruitment team has been absolute gash since Ashworth departed and in all truth, Ashworth had virtually no success with our own homegrown kids.

F u c k sake Albion, wake the f u c k up!

Totally agree. Even in the sixties and seventies our scouting system was one of the best in the country. Think of the club legends and how much they cost, then think of our record signings.
For me the trouble is with the head coach, director of football nonsense. Let football people run the footballing side and directors handle the administrative side of it.
Simple isn't it, a bit like the game itself that has been ruined by managers who think they are Napoleon.
