After the debacle of 2 years ago following the turgid Pulis years how exciting is the present for Albion?
Attacking football, a manager who has galvanised the club and two of the most exciting players in the past 40 years are now ours.
Diangana and Pereira are the best we’ve seen since Cunningham and we’ve both of them together.
Sure they’ll be more exciting signings ahead. Happy days.

Absolute rubbish. Harvey Barnes is far better than Diangana for a start.
We will soon see how good they are by Premier League standards.
I make us strong favourites for relegation even allowing for a new striker coming in. A lot of our players are not as good as fans think they are.
I think the rebuilding job done in the past couple of years has been absolutely fantastic. I'm not kidding myself into thinking that we're going to have a comfortable year but the past 2 years have ensured that we have a good long term future even if we go down. There are clubs who have spent much more and are considerably richer, and those will always be hard to compete with, but we're being self sufficient and finally trying to do things the right way.
I'm very excited for the future and proud of the club, even though I know we may be in for a few stuffings this season.

No, he's not. And Pereira is something else entirely. A few more players and I'll be feeling like a kid in Christmas morning. Just wish I'd be there to see it in person.
I think Atomic is being harsh but I see what he's saying. Diangana and Pereira have a lot of potential but are still unproven in the Premier League. We've had many great players including Odemwingie, Lukaku, Gera etc who were great for us in the top flight so I'd disagree with best since Cunningham however exciting players for sure but I hope our fans don't place too big expectations on them, they are still young players after all. Still, it's better to be postive and look forward to watching us play rather than being negative and moaning that we're going down before a ball has been kicked.

Yes he is hes a class above Grady.
Pereira started great in the Championship but largely failed off towards the end, the odd game excepted. He has no pace, one foot and will be Ok in the Premier League but nothing more than that. His limitations will be exposed.
We spent eight successive seasons in the PL and had players better than both.

Maybe I should have made it clear, that are our players. Barnes was brilliant but sadly we just got half a season from him.
Lukaku was the other leading light in the past decade. Again he never was our player.
I’m not saying that we will have a great season, but we have really exciting players and a manager who plays the game the right way.
If you want to be a miserable and confrontational that’s your lookout.

What a load of negativity, Barnes was great and so is Diangana let’s be positive.

I just say it as I see it. Not negative, not positive just honest and realistic.
I think we have some good attacking options and with a bit of luck Krov will sign too. But I do think we need a player in the middle who breaks stuff up and just gets it to these guys as quickly as possible. As much as I appreciate the technicality and ball retention of sawyers I don't think he's that man.
