West Brom fan page @TheAlbionTalk recently made a post on Twitter asking Baggies supporters whether they would choose to keep Matheus Pereira, Callum Robinson, or Grady Diangana if the club could only keep one of the three players at the club.
All three players are currently on loan with the Championship leaders. Both Pereira and Diangana joined the club on deadline day last August for the 2019/20 season. Meanwhile, the Baggies subsequently secured the services of Robinson in January for the remainder of the campaign.
The trio have made a combined total of 31 Championship goal contributions between them this season. Furthermore, these three players are currently three of West Brom’s four highest-rated players on WhoScored.com for the 2019/20 Championship season. This shows how big of an impact all three loanees have made on West Brom’s title-contending Championship season so far.
Many of the West Brom fans who responded to @TheAlbionTalk’s question regarding the three players said that they would choose Pereira over the other two loanees if they had to pick just one. Read the posts in favour of the Baggies’ Brazilian playmaker in the tweets below.

What do we think?
It may be difficult to argue against Pereira being the clear and obvious choice out of these three players, as some Baggies fans concluded. The Brazilian has made an impressive total of 12 Championship assists this season, which is currently the highest number of assists that have been made by any Baggies player during the 2019/20 campaign and the joint-highest number of assists made by any Championship player this season.
WhoScored.com gives Pereira an overall average rating of 7.39 for the 2019/20 Championship season. The Brazilian’s overall average rating is currently second only to Robinson’s rating of 7.43 in the West Brom squad, however, the fact that Pereira has achieved such a high rating while playing for the Baggies since August may also help him to sit above Robinson in the priorities list.
