Fabian Hürzeler speaks a lot about wanting more consistency from his Albion side. But there was an area where they WERE consistent last season. He was keen to introduce that to our end-of-term conversation.

Olivier Boscagli wanted to join Albion last summer. The way he reacted to that disappointment impressed PSV watchers and should bode well. He loved the way Albion scouted him. And, like Fabian Hurzeler, he cycles to training.
