In days gone by, under the previous regime, there would be key Albion players who went on to bigger things who really Albion should have been getting decent fees for.

There are stories of Sam Johnstone, the England international who departed on a free.

Then further back than then, reports of Albion turning down big money offers for players such as Jonny Evans, who then would leave for a fraction of what they could have sold him for.

There are many examples. But those days are gone - long gone. Now the club is in a place where they are being able to strike deals such as the Torbjorn Heggem one that was finalised on Friday.
