He's an handful of a player. He's also a massive cunt, so it's 'no thanks' on this occasion from me. What's he done apart from score against us? Have I missed something?

Must say, I'd like this one. Thought he really looked the part . Finishing supposedly erratic, but good all-round player with room to grow at that kind of price Of all teams? Cheeky prick Maybe they can have Gayle back as a makeweight 😀

If you use the fbref 'similar player' table, it's interesting who it thinks Thomas-Assante is most like in his style of play. fbref.com/en/players/fb152f96/Brandon-Thomas-AsanteTop of the list is Tom Cannon, then Liam Delap. Teemu Pukki also features. What sort of player is he? Is he the nasty target man that we've been in the market for? I admit that my impression of him was as more of a Mmaee type.

Could well explain why we've moved on to him after seemingly dropping out the Cannon race.

He would be a bloody good signing for that sort of money wouldn’t he? As long as his assist rate is good, he only scored 9 goals last season, it's just that most of them seemed to be against us

Solomon Brandon Michael Clarke Thomas-Asante. Seems like his parents couldn’t decide on a name so they gave him a few 😆

wbaunofficial.org.uk/showthread.php?tid=31005BTA's ability to receive the ball and lay it off to a team mate is (IMO) taken somewhat for granted. This aspect of forward play has been almost completely absent from our team since the departure of JRod and the little fellow. OK, it's part of the job description for a forward, but let's give the bloke full credit for doing the job well. He's been a great signing. Probably our most effective striker at the club since we lost Gayle and JRod in 2019. I'm not sure if he'll ever be a 20 goal a season striker but his strength, effort and enthusiasm make him such a headache for defenders to play against and he creates space for his teammates. 100%. This type of player will always be popular with our fans. Hungry, great work ethic and a superb attitude I think he's a great player. I love watching him play. Full of energy and clearly loves playing the game. A shrewd signing, which apparently we no longer make! He’s a fantastic kid we are very lucky to have him Thats not selling him thats giving him away. I know we only paid £300k but from everything I've seen, and given the length of his contract, he's worth £7-8m easily already. Also I'm pretty certain Salford have a sell on clause. But as you rightly say we are in a nightmare position no financially and we have legacy contracts for shite aging players who no one wants. FWIW i don't think we'll sell him yet. He'll be worth the same to us and probably a fair bit more come January and we have enough money to get through until then anyway. westbrom.com/forum/index.php?topic=27187.550At an absolute minimum BTA should be going for £4-5m. £1m to reinvest in another striker & £3m to pay off the debts. £2.5m Stoke can get stuffed .Stoke are taking the proverbial p..s. If he continues his present goal scoring in this division we could add a nought to the 2 in 12 months time. We will probably sell him for peanuts and bring in a has been 35 year old.

I wonder how much we have left in the kitty considering the defensive positions we need to fill. What price do you reckon we would go up to for Asante and a what price would we pull out?

He sounds like Walters minus the shithousery to be honest. Which at 24 years old isn’t a bad blueprint to have.

Controversial opinion, but one I was giving at the time and isn’t just revisionism now we’re linked with him:
His foul on Wilmot that led to his injury really wasn’t that bad. It was the kind of sneaky foul that happens multiple times in any match and 99% of the time doesn’t result in injury. Wilmot was just unlucky.
West Brom’s social media stuff fanned the flames but the response on here at the time with many people calling it a deliberate attempt to injure an opponent was way over the top.

This is going to get re-tweeted a fair bit by Stoke fans if he ends up here! Imagine if he signs and the club tweet exactly the same 🤣

Wonder how high we’ll fancy bidding? If £3M gets rejected and considering their financial situation would £4 or possibly £5M be too much to turn down for them? I wouldn’t go any higher than that.

Total cunt and not just the Wilmot incident. as others have said - undeniably a very good player and stood out for them a few times I've seen them. Not sure this contribution to the thread adds anything new or useful, but there it is

How many goals would we get from him? Reasonable amount ? (unlike K Davies)

Silly season has officially started. I'm sick of him scoring good goals against us. Interesting. Surely there's no Stewart if this signing comes to fruition. Bids, fake bids and so on. All clubs are just playing games and leaving other clubs hanging now. There will be lots of BS flying about in the next 48hrs. Exactly, it's poker night next couple of days, smoking out players, cards to your chest etc etc

Anyone know who they played in the Carabao last night? I love how West Brom think they are a bigger club than us. Forgetting that players play for money and we have alot more money than them.
