It's taking the piss a bit now.  West Brom must be fuming.

Are they ever anything else?

[pauliewalnuts]

I don't know why kids bother signing for West Brom, just save the time and come here and if they are no good they can go there afterward.

That’s what should have been happening for the last 15 years, our academy recruitment was not as good as theirs, which is why we poached most of their academy team like Harrison to bridge the gap

Absolutely, we should be hoovering up all the really good local talent, and that includes players at other, small local clubs like Albion.

From the Athletic (how dare they be all over it)

Aston Villa have agreed a deal to sign highly-rated West Bromwich Albion midfielder Keilan Quinn for a fee worth around £1m.

The 16-year-old will join Villa's under-16 side with the plan being for him to become a scholar next season.

Quinn has scored one goal and provided one assist in ten appearances for West Brom's under-18 side this season.

Another one bites the dust at WBA...A decent CM, who was held in high regard.

[London Villan]

They are desperate for the money too... oh well. At least it will keep them in business.

My parents' former neighbours lad had the chance to sign for West Brom but he refused as he was Villa mad. He must be kicking himself now. I guess a few years back West Brom weren't our official Feeder Club.

Chambers possibly on his way to WBA. Poor sod.

Are we swapping him for Lino?

They're chucking in some laminate floor as well.

[Toronto Villa]

Hull now in for Chambers apparently

Hope they're generous after we let them have Philogene for a song.

I like this strategy with FFP restrictions of signing players in the 16 to 23 age range. If they don't work out its no big deal, if they do it keeps the squad on the young side. We don't have too many players 30 or older do we?

They're the 70s Xerox PARC of modern football.
