A number of West Brom supporters are fuming after John Percy confirmed that Andy Carroll is set to have a medical ahead of a loan move to the Hawthorns.

The Baggies suffered a hugely disappointing result in midweek, losing 2-0 at home to Preston to further damage their Championship automatic promotion hopes.

Valerien Ismael's side looked toothless in attack and it highlighted the need for January reinforcements, following Daryl Dike's hamstring injury.

One player who has been linked with a move to West Brom this month is Carroll and it now looks as though the transfer will go through, following a key update.

According to the reliable Percy's post on Twitter, the former England international is set to undergo a medical on Friday, prior to completing a loan move until the end of the season.

Carroll has scored only twice all season, so it's hardly a surprise fans are underwhelmed.

"Why!! Just play Cleary instead! Just as much of a risk but if it pays off atleast we get some gain! How these guys are business owners I’ll never know! Short term with no future gain. Literally just an expense rather than an investment. Mental!"

"I don't even care anymore about this season now. You telling me I have to watch Andy Carroll, Hugill and Zohore try to fight for the striker spot? I'M DONE"

"Desperation at its finest. I'm open to being proved wrong and trying very hard at the moment to not judge him before he's even here, but he was absolutely abysmal for Reading against us"
