West Brom boss Slaven Bilic reveals why they didn’t sign Watford midfielder Domingos Quina

West Bromwich Albion boss Slaven Bilic has revealed why his side didn’t sign Watford midfielder Domingos Quina on transfer deadline day in an interview with the Express & Star.

Quina was the subject of speculation linking him with a loan move to the Hawthorns however it never materialised and Bilic has confirmed why. “Quina was an option but only if one of our players was leaving,” the head coach said.

“There was a possibility that one of our players would go and one more. And for one I said okay, and the other I said no, no way. Then maybe we would have got Domingos.”

“But because that transfer did not happen it would not be fair to player to bring him in but for him not to be involved as much as he deserves to be.”

The player in question is club captain Chris Brunt who was close to a move to Stoke City to link up with former international boss Michael O’Neill.

It appeared as though the long-serving legend would be departing the Hawthorns but he has since remained with the club due to Stoke being unable to offload Bruno Martins-Indi.

Had Brunt moved on, Albion would have bolstered their ranks by signing Watford central midfielder Quina on loan but Bilic was wary of signing a player they didn’t need.

However, despite the madness of transfer deadline day, the Croatian manager confirmed he was happy with his side’s business.

“Yeah it was positive,” he added. “What got we wanted in October when we were talking about January. We wanted to add in those positions which is exactly what we have done.”

“Maybe the names were different because you never know if those players are going to be available. But we wanted this type of player, that is why we are happy.”
