West Brom captain and midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chris-c9006 Brunt has hailed the forward planning of the club after the Baggies secured the future of James Morrison and Jonas Olsson on new long-term contracts.
The club has managed to secure the key defender and midfielder on new long-term contracts, ending doubts about their future.
Both players had been linked with moves away from the Hawthorns, with many clubs reportedly interested in Olsson. The imposing Swedish international had attracted the attention of a number of clubs after his impressive performances for West Brom and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015
in the Euro 2012 thrust him into the limelight.
Manager Steve Clarke and goalkeeper http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ben-Foster-c7445 had stressed upon the importance of holding on to the veteran player, and would have been certainly delighted after the player penned down a new deal.
Olsson has captained West Brom in the wake of Brunt’s absence. The midfielder has been struggling with recurring injuries that have kept him out of contention. The player has however praised his teammate, and was impressed as Olsson led the team to a string
of victories.
West Brom have been in fine form, losing only one game since the Premier League started. The club managed victories against the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809, and has been a force at home, conceding only 2 goals in 4 home games.
Brunt insists the club’s forward planning is the key factor behind their impressive run, and believes that it will help push it towards future success in the league. He said:
“What has been important for us in the last few weeks is getting people like Mozza and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonas-c18967 on new long-term contracts.”
“They’ve been here a long time, they know the place inside out and have been big players in the success we’ve had over the last four or five years, so I think it’s right to see them rewarded for that.”
“And it’s great for the club to have them tied down here for seasons to come. It’s important to have a core of people who have been here a long time because they understand the place and have a special feel for the club.”
