da 888： West Bromwich Albion are set to rebuff a £25m offer from Burnley for Craig Dawson and Jay Rodriguez, according to the Express & Star.
What’s the word?
da fazobetai： Whenever a club gets relegated from the Premier League, attention turns to the playing squad and possible departures.
The Baggies are in that current situation, and it seems that Burnley are trying to test their resolve with bids for Dawson and Rodriguez.

The Express & Star claims that West Brom will turn down an offer worth £25m as they have no plans to sell the pair.
In today’s market, the bid is relatively low considering that Dawson still has two years left on his contract and Rodriguez’s terms do not expire until 2021.
In fact, the publication states that the club would be after between £12m and £15m for the defender and more than £20m for the ex-Southampton attacker.
How should West Brom handle this?
The biggest problem that the Baggies face is trying to convince their key men to remain at The Hawthorns for the Championship campaign.
If a Premier League club comes calling, it is understandable that a player will get his head turned, but West Brom need to be careful.
Manager Darren Moore is already without a defender having allowed Jonny Evans to join Leicester City, so it is imperative that the club do not weaken that area of the pitch even more.
