Joseph Chapman claims that West Brom’s strategy for the January transfer window would remain unaffected by the additional loan that MSD Holdings has provided to the Baggies.
On Monday, November 27, a writer from Birmingham Live stated that Carlos Corberan’s ability to add players to his squad when the January transfer window opens will not be aided by the additional funding that Albion has been granted by MSD Holdings.
Due to West Brom’s new loan, the club will be able to function on a daily basis instead of using the funds for any other possible acquisitions. As a result, Albion will approach the January transfer window similarly to how it approaches the summer transfer window, looking to loan free-agent recruits.
Furthermore, the Baggies will need to evaluate any substantial offers for any of their players. West Brom will only sell its players if the agreement benefits them and they won’t be forced to sell by teams with larger budgets. Sales of any players will likely be finalised if it makes “financial sense” for Corberan’s team.
Not perfect
On the surface, this appears to be bad news for West Brom since, like many other teams in the past, the Baggies appear to be relying on loans to stay afloat rather than utilising them to try and pursue the Premier League dream.
In actuality, it seems that this loan is necessary to maintain Albion’s financial stability while Guochuan Lai engages in talks with prospective buyers of the Baggies in the future. The administration might really pose a threat without it.
As the January transfer window approaches, West Brom will likely be at the mercy of the top clubs in the Premier League. If any of the league’s heavyweights make a move for one of Corberan’s key players, it would be difficult for Albion to hold onto their best players.
Unless a buyout happens earlier than anticipated, it also looks like the Spaniard will have to make do with what he has until the conclusion of the season because Corberan won’t have much, if any, money to bolster his team in 2019.
For West Brom fans, the most recent news is depressing overall, but it’s possible that this loan is just a temporary measure before a better future at The Hawthorns.
