Former Norwich midfielder Wes Hoolahan made his debut for West Brom in their 4-2 win against Bristol City on Tuesday night – and a section of fans were full of praise for the newest addition at The Hawthorns.

Hoolahan, 36, came off the bench for the final 16 minutes of Albion’s impressive win this week, just days after he agreed to join the Black Country club on a free transfer.

And it did not take long for some Baggies fans to be impressed by the Irish playmaker, with one even comparing him to Lionel Messi.

OPINION

It was a great night to be a West Brom fan on Tuesday and Hoolahan could not have asked for better circumstances to make his debut for the promotion contenders. There were a few Albion fans that were not happy that they had signed a 36-year-old free agent who had been without a club since Norwich released him at the end of last season. However those concerned fans must surely have changed their minds after a sparkling cameo appearance in the win over Bristol City. It just shows how much of a top professional Hoolahan is. He has not played a minute of football since the end of last season, but just days after signing for West Brom, he was straight into the squad and playing a role in a brilliant win. Hoolahan will be a great back-up option as the season goes on and these Albion fans have every right to be excited about what he can bring to the side.
