West Bromwich Albion supporters have been debating whether losing Grady Diangana in the January transfer window would have a bigger impact than losing Harvey Barnes last season.

The Baggies signed Barnes on a season-long loan from Leicester City just over 12 months ago, and he flourished at The Hawthorns, scoring nine times and recording six assists in 26 appearances.

There is a similar patter emerging at the start of this season, with Slaven Bilic's side bringing Diangana in on loan from West Ham United in the summer and the attacker has made a real positive impression, weighing in with four goals and three assists so far.
