# Going down: West Brom must now make sure that these 3 stars get off the wage bill

**West Bromwich Albion fans here in the Tavern are praying on a miracle, as it looks like they’ll be playing their football in the Championship next season.**

The Baggies have had a nightmare season as relegation is pretty much inevitable from here on in, with very little time to save their season as they sit rock bottom. Although, there is a number of changes that need to be made in the summer months, as former manager Alan Pardew has left the club in a mess after a woeful campaign at the Hawthorns.

Indeed, it looks as if it’s too late for West Brom to avoid the drop with teams around them all picking up points, so their attention will now turn to next season as they focus on earning promotion. Although, with a few first-team members failing to live up to expectations in the current campaign, they’ll need to prepare for a successful season next time out.

Therefore, here’s a look at **THREE** stars that West Bromwich Albion must get off the wage bill…

## Claudio Yacob

Claudio Yacob has lost his way in the current campaign as he continues to be used as a rotation player, with many of our local residents wanting to see him move on in the summer months.

Indeed, the 30-year-old has been one of the Baggies’ standout performers in seasons gone by, but Jake Livermore and Gareth Barry are now ahead of him in the pecking order.

Therefore, West Brom should look to cut the midfielder off their wage bill in the summer months, as he’s been pushed out of the side with transfer window signings taking his place.

## Hal Robson-Kanu

Hal Robson-Kanu has been unable to replicate his brilliance from Euro 2016 with the Welsh national side, as he continues to earn limited minutes off the bench for the Baggies.

Indeed, the 28-year-old has struggled to find the back of the net after contributing very little in the current campaign, with many of our local residents believing that his time is up.

Therefore, West Brom should look to cut him off their wage bill at the end of the season, as he’s failed to come to terms with Premier League football.

## James McClean

James McClean single-handedly kept the Republic of Ireland’s World Cup hopes alive back in October, but has failed to have the same effect on domestic proceedings with West Bromwich Albion.

Indeed, the 28-year-old has found himself on the substitutes’ bench more times than he’s managed to start, as it’s clear to see that he’s not in the club’s plans from here on in until the end of the season.

Therefore, the Baggies should look to cut the winger off their wage bill in the summer months, after failing to make an impact in what’s been a season to forget for James McClean.
