Grady Diangana will be receiving no assurances that he will be getting a regular first team place.
Reports have surfaced over the last few days that the Hammer wants a move if David Moyes fails to assure him of his inclusion in his first team plans.
But there is no chance whatsoever of such a situation developing even if they were true in the first place which remains very doubtful.
And the club have sent a reminder to its former boss Slaven Bilic that the winger will not be available for a second season on loan should the Baggies pursue such an option.
Foreseeing the unlikely possibility the Baggies may look for a loan should Grady not be included in Moyes’ plans we were told categorically a loan would not be happening for a player probably valued at £25 million after his exploits in helping the midlanders to automatic promotion.
Our source explained by e mail: “We don’t hand out automatic first team places at this club and why would we want to help a competitor anyway.”
Grady will be first team squad no doubt and play for his place as they all do. Great prospect for us. We know that signing left and centre back is priority so we won’t be letting our developing young players go I doubt.
