Carlos Corberan has already alerted West Brom supporters to the fact he make look to bolster his squad by using the free agent market.
Speaking after a transfer deadline day which saw the Baggies squad remain in tact, indeed a transfer window in which fears of a fire-sale were not realised, the Spaniard was pretty forthcoming when he said: “The free players’ market is going to be more useful this year than previous years because some things can happen, that nobody expects, in the next two weeks
Albion’s financial constraints remain very real but the comments above suggest the club are at least alive to whatever deals are out there. Helpfully the free agent market is strong this year so, with that in mind, we’ve taken a look at the players released by Premier League and Championship clubs this summer, plus a select few from around the world, who are still available….
With him having us in the Prem, compared to us know, I know the style of play wasn’t great but he did a good job keeping us in there and having heard his podcast about Saido Berahino which parts of were very sad considering Saido upbringing, Tony used to sit with his mom at her house supporting her and her son quite regularly which proved he was actually a lovely human being.
I KNOW WE WERE QUITE HARD ON HIM AT TIMES BUT THOSE DAYS ARE JUST A MERE MEMORY NOW but having met him he was a really nice person.
Writing in the Football League Paper (10 September, pg 27), the TNT pundit waxed lyrical about the 21-year-old, claiming there’s a “really, really good player” in Sarmiento and the “big move” to the Hawthorns could go a long way in his development.
Virgo praised Sarmiento’s pace, technical ability and positional versatility, but the abundance of attacking talent in Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton side means his loan move could prove significant.
Sarmiento has the perfect opportunity to make a case for De Zerbi during his loan spell at West Brom, while the Baggies could certainly do with a player of his ilk performing at a high level.
Game time was few and far between for the Ecuadorian international, with just 12 total appearances last season at the Amex. But Carlos Corberan has provided him with plenty of opportunities already, with six appearances in all competitions, and even a league goal to his name.
