da pixbet： The West Bromwich Albion fans in the Transfer Tavern today will be hoping for something a little different next season, after another stale mid-table finish in the previous campaign.
da betobet： The landlord was overheard today saying that if he was a West Brom fan, he would be bored to tears at this point.
The last three seasons the club have finished 10th, 14th and 13th, never really close enough to the drop to make each game exciting and definitely never close enough to those all-important European places, they just constantly find themselves in the middle of the pack.
Part of the problem can be attributed to their lack of attacking threat, with Rondon scoring only eight times during the 16/17 campaign, terrible numbers for your top striker.
Defensively they are slightly better with the likes of Jonny Evans and Craig Dawson at the back but still, things need to change for the Baggies.
Much like many other Premier League sides, there are a few gems that are making their way up the West Brom youth set-up, and it doesn’t seem like Tony Pulis would have much to lose by giving some of these talented youngsters a chance in the first team.
With that being said, here are TWO West Brom wonderkids that Tony Pulis should bring up to the first-team…..
Tyler Roberts
The 18-year-old Welsh centre forward spent the entirety of last season out on loan, first at Oxford and then finishing the season with Shrewsbury.
Roberts’ time at Oxford was quite an unsuccessful spell as he only scored two goals in 22 games for the League One side, none of which came in the league.
However, Roberts did manage to bag four goals in 13 games for Shrewsbury along with two assists to make the tail end of the season a memorable one for the youngster.
Despite a mixed season, Roberts got something a lot more valuable than goals and assists, first-team football.
Playing 27 league games last season, 11 of which were starts, Tyler Roberts has been able to continue his development away from the pressures of playing for a Premier League side such as West Brom, and whilst he may not be ready to feature in all 38 games next season for Pulis’ side, maybe bringing him back to the club and easing him in to the first-team picture could result in a striker, scoring much more than eight goals all season, sooner rather than later.
Sam Field
The fact that Sam Field has never been loaned out by West Brom should speak volumes of how important the club already deem him to be.
The 19-year-old central midfielder began a sharp climb up the ranks of Tony Pulis’ side and managed to register eight Premier League appearances last season, four of which he was part of the starting eleven.
Unfortunately for Field, the only two winning games he featured in were against Stoke and Bournemouth, both of which he came on as a 90th minute substitute but still, a win is a win.
The centre mid who can also play a more defensive midfield role has been praised by Tony Pulis a lot since breaking into the first team, with the veteran manager describing Field’s performance against Burnley as “smashing”.
The future looks bright for Sam Field and if he keeps on the trajectory that he is currently on, then Pulis may have a very bright talent in his ranks for years to come.
