These West Brom fans are concerned after Joseph Masi relayed some worrying Grady Diangana news regarding his West Ham recall date.
In a report by Express and Star, they stated: “the Hammers have the option to recall the winger at any time before January 27, not January 14 as had previously been reported.” This was later relayed to these West Brom fans via Joseph Masi on Twitter.
Diangana is currently on loan from West Ham United, with the 21-year-old set to return to his parent club on at the end of the season. However, it’s now been reported that the Hammers have until “January 27, not January 14” to recall the midfielder.
Here’s what the West Brom fans had to say about this worrying bit of news:
This story also has an update on Grady Diangana. Bilic says it looks "positive" he will remain at The Hawthorns all season. However, West Ham have until January 27 to recall him, not January 14 as had previously been reported. #wba https://t.co/sqOPJ7bouP

The report also stated that “Bilic remains hopeful Diangana will remain at the club for the rest of the season.”
If you could keep Grady Diangana would you?
Yes, he's amazing!
No, he's overrated!
So far this season, Grady Diangana has scored five goals in 19 Championship appearances, alongside getting six assists for the Baggies.
So perhaps these West Brom fans shouldn’t be panicking too much, but you can definitely forgive them for being concerned.
And have the club made steps to identifying a replacement should West Ham pull yeh rug on the 27th!?

Have to say, that is a patently absurd decision. 4 days to find a replacement would not be enough, not nearly. With the situation with Barnes in mind, i don’t understand why they’d make it even more difficult. Have to hope they have somewhat of an inkling before then.

What Do We Think?
Obviously, if one of your players gets recalled on 27th January it leaves you with very little time to replace them, so these West Brom fans will need to hope that the board have some sort of backup plan. We are certain that they do, but fans will still continue to be concerned about Diangana’s future until 28th January.
