Bryan signing shows West Brom 'serious about promotion' - Robinson
Paul Robinson has claimed the signing of Kean Bryan shows West Brom "are serious about promotion" this season.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Spurs and Leeds United goalkeeper heaped praise on the club for keeping the core of the squad together while adding a few "really good players".
West Brom confirmed the capture of Bryan on a two-year deal on Tuesday morning after this site revealed the Baggies interest in the defender.
Albion entered the free agent market for the centre-half following following injuries to Matt Clarke and Dara O'Shea.
Bryan is West Brom's sixth signing of the summer.
When asked by Football Insider's Dylan Childs for his thoughts on the signing, Robinson said: "It shows that they are serious about promotion.
"They have been very proactive in the market since [Valerien] Ismael has come in. They clearly want to bounce straight back.
"I really like what West Brom have done. They have kept the nucleus of their squad together and brought in some really good players to compliment that.
"Losing a player like O'Shea for that length of time is a blow so it is great that they have acted quick and got a natural replacement in Bryan now.
"There is a lot of talk about players running down their contracts. If you are a decent player when the window shuts lots of clubs are going to want you."
