The form of John Swift is a double edged sword for West Brom

Certain Albion players hitting form during a time when the financial situation is uncertain and the January transfer window is two and a half months away, is somewhat of a double edged sword.

That is very much the case with someone like John Swift, who although injured for a few weeks, has been one of the best players in the division of late.

You want your players to be hitting form and playing well to move you towards the right end of the table, but at the same that advertises the talent Albion have.

There was reported interest in Swift in the summer, but as we have seen this week he wasn't interested in leaving.

I think that interest probably came from his reputation as a creator and being a top technical player during his time at Reading, because last season his performances were at times a bit underwhelming.
