An absolutely shocking start for West Bromwich Albion has yielded one point from a possible nine for Steve Clarke’s men, who have made some highly-regarded recruits. With former Chelsea and Juventus striker Nicolas Anelka as well as Manchester City winger Scott Sinclair and Sunderland playmaker Stephane Sessegnon joining the ranks at the Hawthorns, Clarke will be very proud of what he has achieved on a very limited budget. However, it may not be enough for a West Brom side who have been absolute woeful in their opening three matches. The signings are a step in the right direction, but unless Clarke can get them firing quick, his head is well and truly on the chopping block.

Grade: B-

Not a bad window for Steve Clarke and the Baggies, Anelka, Sessegnon, Vydra, Lugano and Sinclair are all good signings, but they may not be enough, especially with a leaky defence who have conceded 3 goals in 3 games already.
