West Brom boss: We can do no more
May 13 2009 by Chris Lepkowski
TONY Mowbray claims he can do no more to convince three of his key loan trio to stay at West Brom next season.
Marc-Antoine Fortuné, Juan Carlos Menseguez and Youssouf Mulumbu have all impressed the Baggies boss during the latter part of the campaign.
Fortuné particularly has caught the eye, perfectly fitting the lone striker role in Albion's formation, scoring five times and attracting the attentions of several Premier League clubs.
Regarding the Nancy striker, Mowbray said: "It seems as though everyone bar Real Madrid are trying to sign him at the moment.
"On the football side of things there is nothing more we can do for him other than create an environment for him to enjoy his football and give him the confidence and belief he is a good player in our team and hope he wants to continue on that journey in whatever division we might be in.
"We’ve got to try and make him feel wanted and a part of our squad and I feel as if we do that.
"He’s a good person, a good personality and a good man.
"I don’t lose sleep over it.
"We would love for him to stay and enjoy the experience of working here and playing with the players we’ve got.
"Let’s wait and see what the season’s end brings."
