[Beefy 1965]

IF .....this if true it's pretty damning ..........

According to push chairman Moore promised he would buy Madison from them when McLean was sold ......
Moore 'pestered' winger for five weeks before West Brom turning to Harvey Barnes
WBA chased this League One wideman, according to his club's owner
West Brom had been in regular contact with Peterborough United winger Marcus Maddison prior to the signing of Harvey Barnes, it’s been claimed.
Posh owner Darragh MacAnthony has revealed that Albion were chasing Maddison, 24, as a replacement for the outgoing James McClean, who completed his move to Stoke City over the weekend.
Instead, Albion turned to Leicester City and picked up young Barnes on a season-long loan deal.
Maddison has been linked with a number of Championship sides and may still leave London Road this summer, but it appears that the Baggies’ purported pursuit ended with the capture of England U20 star Barnes.
“Their manager [Darren Moore] pestered his agent and a contact of mine over a deal non stop last 5 weeks yes but club itself no. All very odd if im honest. But thats football. We move on,” MacAnthony tweeted, in response to an Albion fan.
“He told MM [Marcus Maddison] agent once McClean went, MM coming in building. Then went and got a loan winger in. Odd for sure. Very.”
