West Brom boss Tony Mowbray insists he doesn't need a midfield enforcer.

The former Hibernian boss said: "We can't go and kick lumps out of anybody. We haven't got that type of player.

"Everyone keeps telling me 'go and get a centre midfield player'. I'm not interested in central midfield players just for the sake of it.

"I'm only interested in good footballers if we can get them. The more good footballers you've got, the better chance you've got.

"We only lost 11 times last season but, on the days you lose, you get stick for not having a centre half who heads the ball out of your box.

"On days like that, you get stick for not having a midfield player who tackles everything that moves.

"But the fact is we scored 106 goals, or whatever it was, and you have to follow your own philosophy and beliefs. That's what we'll do in this league as well."
