“West Brom’s Regret: Losing Premier League Star Sold for £4 Million

West Bromwich Albion’s recent performance in the Championship is concerning; they have already lost five straight games, which is far from what Carlos Corberan will desire from his team.

After starting the season with an absurd seven goals from seven games, Josh Maja now finds it difficult to score goals on a consistent basis, and the Baggies have painfully lost three of those five games.

Knowing that his team has a strong core of homegrown players who will be eager to get going for their boyhood club, Corberan will hope his team can quickly recover and see some encouraging results after suffering a severe blow to their confidence.

Tom Fellows, who had truly emerged at the beginning of the season in the men’s game, is the first name that instantly comes to mind as someone who was raised at the Hawthorns from an early age and is currently developing into a top performance in the Championship.

With five assists from 11 games in the second division so far, the young right winger has a genuinely impressive number of assists already in the division. The West Midlands club will undoubtedly be impressed by how far he has come in such a short period of time.

Alex Palmer, who has been in and around the Championship club since playing for the U21s on multiple occasions before to his significant senior break, is also in goal for the Baggies.

With six clean sheets from the same number of league games Fellows has attended and only seven goals conceded, the self-assured goalkeeper is now Corberan’s first choice every week.

Palmer and Fellows both have a clear sense of pride in selecting the finest players from their own pool, while other academy players are taken before they have even had a fair opportunity to play at the senior level.

Given that one academy product was taken from the Hawthorns’ youth setup and is currently excelling in the Premier League for a nearby rival and neighbor of the Baggies, West Brom will undoubtedly be furious about this case.
The worth of Morgan Rogers at Aston Villa

Few at West Brom would have predicted that Morgan Rogers, who is still only 22 years old, would be dominating in the Champions League five years after leaving Hawthorns, despite his evident skill. However, that is precisely what he is doing.

Given his incredible stats from the 2-0 victory, it’s difficult to dispute Sky Sports journalist David Reed’s description of Rogers as giving Unai Emery’s team a “box office” performance against Bologna.

You can see how captivating the Villa attacking midfielder was against their Serie A opponents just by looking at the table above. He scored an absurd seven goals with successful dribbles while consistently causing havoc on the Bologna defense and setting up Jhon Duran for the game-winning second goal.

With a young Rogers able to leave West Brom for a reported fee of ‘just’ £4 million in 2019 after being picked up by Manchester City, it now appears that the Premier League’s biggest clubs had good reason to spend £16 million for him in January. West Brom is left to regret what might have been.

The emerging talent, who played in 15 games for the club’s U21 team and provided nine goals and assists, has only made one senior appearance for the Baggies in 2019, entering as a late substitute in an FA Cup match against Brighton at the age of 16. He’s blossomed since then, as shown here…

In the present, Rogers has returned to league action with a promising two goals and two assists. It is possible that the Villa number 27, who is currently valued at €22 million (£18 million) by Transfermarkt, will only improve with time, which would further compound the Baggies’ injury problems.

If players like Fellows and Palmer can rise above a drop in performance for their boyhood squad, the two teams may play each other in the top level the following season.
