Long line: More attacking competition for the boy Shane Long at West Brom as the Baggies have brought in 21-year-old Czech striker Matej Vydra on a season-long loan from Udinese.
Vydra was also farmed out from the Serie A side last season, when he scored 20 goals for Watford.
Deadly duo? By now you probably already know that Stewart Downing has been summoned by Big Sam to be his one-stop Andy Carroll ammunition supply depot. Headers ahoy!
Will it happen?
