[Albion] Are we as good as I think we are?

5 of the top 10 players for chance creating

Yet more good stats. We are very good at creating chances. Coupled with the data in Dazzer's post #199, the future looks rosy.

All we need now is a Brazilian goalscorer to put those chances away. Oh, hang on a minute..

It's almost as if we have identified what we are good at, and have bought the player to exploit it, well in advance of the transfer window.
You could be forgiven for thinking we've got a backroom team collecting and analysing loads of data, and do our succession planning and hiring well away from all the media attention.

I think, on balance, that this is correct. So why is there a little voice in my head saying "nah, the sky's the limit with this setup and this manager"?

You are forgetting Tony Bloom is stingy with his money and will not spend that much to give us a big, deep squad.
