West Brom Executes Major Deadline Day Transfers Including £10m Tom Fellows Sale

West Bromwich Albion have experienced a mixed summer transfer window with notable ins and outs affecting fan sentiment and squad balance. Key departures include academy star Tom Fellows, sold to Southampton for £10 million, which sparked debate among supporters about whether the club got adequate value and if the sale was wise. The club brought in reinforcements such as Nat Phillips, George Campbell, Krystian Bielik, and the loan signing of Samuel Iling-Junior, but fans remain critical of the lack of depth, particularly on the right wing. Historically, West Brom’s deadline day dealings have been a mixed bag, ranging from successful signings like Youssouf Mulumbu and Darren Fletcher to less impactful players such as Victor Anichebe, highlighting the risks involved in last-minute transfer activity. Manager Ryan Mason faces pressure to navigate these challenges effectively to sustain the club’s promotion ambitions. The transfer debates underscore the tension between financial decisions and squad competitiveness as West Brom aims to build on their Championship campaign.
