Pretty much contradicts the official press release and follow up Argus story.

Michal Karbownik has joined Greek giants Olympiacos on a season-long loan.
Albion head coach Graham Potter...
Only Maupay is fit for anything other than a relegation scrap. An injury prone Welbeck and a slowly going off the rails Connolly won’t be scaring anyone. We have to stop over promising and underachieving.
I don’t buy the narrative that we never get good strikers though. Murray and Ullloa were...
Not that I can see confirmed anywhere. It was speculated in the original tweet. Happy to be corrected because I can't be ****ed to fact check this late at night.
My beef with the treatment of Karbownik is much more that he was recalled from his loan with Legia Warsaw mid season, brought here to...
In terms of centre back I believe that just leaves Dunk, Duffy, Burn, Webster, Veltman, and Roberts.
Admittedly it's no central midfield where we've only got Mwepu, Bissouma, Gross, Lallana, Moder, Alzate and Richards. #BareBones
Yes, this.
We seem to now have a coterie of players who are too good for PL2 but are not going to be regular first team starters. The more experienced of those who would jump straight into the team in the event of injury or tactical change (if all fit then the likes of Welbeck MacAllister...
Does our best possible starting Xi look like one of these?
3-4-3
Sanchez
Webster Dunk Burn
Lampey Lallana Bissoouma Cucurella
Gross Maupay Trossard
Or
4-4-1-1
Sanchez
Veltman Dunk Webster Cucurella
Gross Lallana Bissouma March
Trossard
Maupay
And you could rotate almost anyone (I don't...
Hmm. It's hypothetical but Veltman RWB and White RCB was the default last season so it's not "surely". However, what I meant is that Lamptey would have negated Gray's pace. I was talking specifically (and hypothetically) about Gray.
As for other managers the Fat Spanish Waiter is a good one...
TBF you don't know that he hasn't agreed with the management team that he's ok with the attacking options we have so long as we kept Biss and added a wingback. Budgets are all about choices and priorities and there is nothing any of us on here know about how ours were arrived at.
Just shows what a game of opinions it is. I looked at Gray on Saturday and saw exactly what we need. Quick, direct and unafraid. No passing back inside for him, just driving on the break and setting our pace-free CBs back on their heels.
White may well have done a better job on him but would...
I think there's a lot to this but I don't agree completely. The window was more about outs than ins and keeping Biss and trimming out the likes of Ali J is decent.
Yes, we HAD to trim the wage bill - job done. Yes, we needed to signa defender to replace White and a full back was more needed...
