James McClean’s signing hasn’t gone down well with West Brom fans

Most Ireland fans were happy to see James McClean return to the Premier League.

The winger completed a transfer to West Brom from Wigan yesterday for an undisclosed fee, signing a three year deal at the midlands club. With the Baggies not exactly flushed for wide options, one would imagine the signing of McClean, who performed well in his first spell in the division with Sunderland, would've been welcomed by the club's fans. Or at least not largely hated, as it seems to be judging by the reaction of West Brom fans on Twitter. https://twitter.com/WBAFCofficial/status/613043759769628672 Some made an instant judgement call, emphatically and passionately stating their displeasure at the signing of a decent player for a decent, mid-table Premier League side. https://twitter.com/kingdick32/status/613043965869334528 https://twitter.com/JamesH114/status/613062750890258432 https://twitter.com/spooner_jordan/status/613061311199641602 https://twitter.com/kirk1477/status/613057431384539136 Others hoped for a better future. https://twitter.com/Kirby86Stuart/status/613044981083820032 One Wigan fan seemed to enjoy it all, as though he'd just sold some poor soul a dodgy car. https://twitter.com/vwigan/status/613069425944752128 While some just don't like a person they've possibly never met. https://twitter.com/richardcross78/status/613053813180792832 https://twitter.com/Teknofish/status/613052940849414144 https://twitter.com/Tommy__lcfc/status/613052066244771840 For others, there were greater issues to contend with. https://twitter.com/wharfie96552/status/613055100660097025 Some were adopting the 'wait and see' approach. https://twitter.com/Will22WBA/status/613046200732909568 And one had bigger fish to fry. https://twitter.com/SanchezScores/status/613044461644464128 https://twitter.com/CallumNicholls/status/613045739372052480 https://twitter.com/SanchezScores/status/613046223591866368
