“Typical”, “Albion that” - These West Brom fans share concerns about one player amid big update

West Brom fans are now full of fear after the EFL took the decision to postpone all league matches until the beginning of April.

They are rightly concerned that those games may not take place at all, as that would rule out the prospect of promotion while also having another long-term implication.

The deal to sign Matheus Pereira on a permanent basis has been thrust into doubt. The Baggies have a deal in place to sign the on-loan Sporting player if he passed 30 appearances of 45 minutes or more, and he currently sits on 30.

That means the midfielder only needs to complete another half of football to secure a permanent move to the Hawthorns, but with that now in potential doubt fans have voiced their frustration.

This better not scupper the Pereira deal…

Remember earlier on in the season when people said knowing Albion’s luck Pereira will get a season ending injury before fulfilling his loan requirements/he becomes permanently ours…. Coronavirus? #wba

It would be a remarkable sequence of events if the Baggies were denied the chance to sign him, and although they could still bid for the 23-year-old there is a risk that other clubs might register interest in the Brazilian.

After all, he has proved to be the most creative player in the Championship with 12 assists this term, while his six goals also underline the varying dangers he possesses.

Some fans think this unexpected twist is typical of the club, though if they miss out on promotion due to latest events then supporter uproar would likely be a whole lot louder than it is currently.

Typical, just before Pereira was about to sign for us.
