19 years today since West Brom pulled off "The Great escape", the only club to have been bottom first match of season, bottom at Xmas and bottom on final day of the season but still survived. . Went down the following season though

I had a tenner at 5/1 that day that would stay up

It was also the 19th year since Kieran Richardsons last good game

If Pickford goes, throw in a cheeky bid for that Ortega from City on loan for a year. He’d be a great stopgap until we can splurge on a permanent replacement.

Love a cheeky bid. Doubt City would want a decent backup keeper anyway

I think the concern is likely that any replacement signings will not be nearly as good as those players that we sell. For arguments sake, if we were forced to sell Pickford, Branthwaite and Onana, would we be able to get anyone close to Pickford or Branthwaite's quality with our very limited budget? Highly unlikely. We might get someone close to Onana's current level of play, though his upside is high. Plus, we won't be able to re-invest the lion's share of the proceeds from any sales as we are in such dire financial condition, most of what we get will go toward interest payments and keeping the lights on in my opinion. I hope we can keep Branthwaite another season but I'm starting to have my doubts on that. Onana is gone for sure.

People not getting their head round the fact that we are not being forced to sell to get a war chest, we are being forced to sell to keep the lights on.
Brantwaite will be replaced by a Jonny Evans.
Berahinho coming in for DCL

Yes West Brom offered him a further loan following season but turned it down to go back to Man U,

Spurs looking to offload richy. We can strike a loan deal and sell DCL for a decent fee.

Why not strike a loan deal, keep DCL and play them up top together? They did very well as a 2.

Unless you wanna play Richy and Doucs together.

We can ask them to give us Dele for another season as well.
