Question: What do West Bromwich Albion need this summer? The answer: A midfield.

OK, perhaps reducing an entire summer’s recruitment strategy to two words is a little simplistic. Alright, perhaps it’s very simplistic but it does go a long way towards summarising where priorities will lie for sporting and technical director Luke Dowling and whoever he and his fellow Hawthorns directors choose as their new head coach.
Since Christmas, as Albion improved significantly but not enough to avoid relegation from the Premier League, their midfield line-up had been largely consistent.
