West Bromwich Albion manager Ryan Mason says the likely sale of winger Tom Fellows to Southampton and departure of full-back Darnell Furlong to Ipswich were no surprise and the club is still well placed to compete in this year's Championship.
The Baggies signed Wales centre-back Chris Mepham from Bournemouth on Thursday and Mason says there are still a "lot of possibilities" of other players arriving before Monday's transfer deadline.
"We're very optimistic that this club is going to be in a good place and that we are going to be able to compete and get positive results," Mason told BBC Radio WM.
