Where they reluctant? I've read some comments mainly from fans, but the manager seemed happy to let him go. He was already on route to sign or Hull. Paid £300k for him, and sold him for £2.5m. And was he one of their best strikers? They have spent nearly £40m over the last couple of seasons on Maya, Grant and Dike.

Maja was free

He's barely started a match for us, but has 2 goals. Thought he was great against Spurs, and will be a useful option this season.
Do you watch our matches with your back to the pitch?

Cos we should have let him go to Hull and keep Kasey

He’s not a league one player
but I want to know what really happened. There’s no way we were planning on signing both him and Bassette. Something must have gone on behind the scenes.

Perhaps the scouts thought Bassette was that good we couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

Don't you ever learn? Good player with potential and a good attitude to have round the squad too. Robins will improve him too.

"Wouldn't have much faith" - No signs of West Brom regret over Coventry City deal
The forward made the switch to the CBS Arena in the summer, following two seasons with the Baggies.
footballleagueworld.co.uk
"I'd say that we aren't really missing him with Maja at the top of the Golden Boot charts at the moment. He's really, really clinical in front of goal and his all-round play is really, really good. There's nothing you can really complain about, apart from maybe having that option off the bench to give Maja a bit of a break."
"....you can say that Albion have not been missing Thomas-Asante. While I can always appreciate the 110% he gave every week, he was quite a frustrating finisher at the best of times.
"He might score an amazing goal, but whenever he was one-on-one in front of goal, you wouldn't have much faith.
"The end result would be that Thomas-Asante not tucking the goal away, but Josh Maja might be on the end of one or two chances, and you'd have full faith that he'd be able to find the back of the net."

It’s not as if BTA isn’t hard to read. Could see what he was all about as a player from game 1 and anyone can see it’s his finishing and composure that are his biggest drawbacks. Hardly need the comments of WBA to know that!
That being said, he’s had a decent enough start with us.

Obviously it would be ideal if he was a clinical finisher too, but his role for us is to keep the defenders busy, harrass them tirelessly, and free up space for the rest of our attackers

Let’s hope for their sakes that Maja is fit all season then."Wouldn't have much faith" - No signs of West Brom regret over Coventry City deal

Ghana 2-0 down to Sudan with BTA still on the bench, defeat makes it extremely unlikely they’ll qualify for AFCON.

or keeps scoring, his best seasons have been at lower levels than the Championship and his seasons at this level haven't been good to be fair.

Does anyone really rate BTA. He reminds of a poor man's Sean Flynn. Runs around a lot but doesn't actually achieve much.
Lots of enthusiasm is a good thing...right

I like him. Lots of enthusiasm and he causes trouble and chases lost causes which Wright and Simms don’t do. Just lacking a bit of quality once he does get the ball. Quite dog like in that respect.

Simms is definitely a cat then. Sat in the centre circle licking his bollocks.

IMO he shouldn't be starting games. He's a striker that doesn't look like scoring when he has opportunities. His energy is useful off the bench.
