‘Impossible’ for West Brom to work deals after deadline
Carlos Corberan admits it will be ‘impossible’ for Albion to rely on the free transfer window after next week’s deadline.
There is just a week left for bosses to add transfers or loans from other clubs to their squad ahead of an 11pm cut-off next Friday.
Clubs can still sign free transfers, those not attached to another club, after the deadline, as Albion did with Erik Pieters and Tom Rogic last season. But Corberan, who is preparing his side to host Middlesbrough tomorrow, revealed financial restraints at The Hawthorns will not permit such this time around.
“The possibilities of the club were totally different to the possibilities right now,” Corberan said of 12 months ago. He added of free agents after the deadline: “Last year was Rogic and Pieters... I don’t think this is now possible for us.”
