West Brom boss Mowbray sees Menseguez as super-sub

West Brom boss Tony Mowbray is confident of using loan signing Juan Carlos Menseguez as an impact player.

Mowbray said: "To get him on the pitch was good. Whether he's ready physically to make the impact, we will see if he gets the opportunity.

"Injuries, and the way the game is going, will determine whether he gets game-time but I don't see him, in our current plight, starting every week for us. He's here to make an impact and if he can then fine - but let's wait and see.

"People may not know what to expect but when you set a team up I would suggest I can only see him being someone who can make an impact off the bench. I think he is more than capable of giving us pieces of magic by going past people with clever footwork. But is he the type of player who, when we go away from home, can be resolute and resilient? It may be difficult to find him a place in the team."
