West Brom to stick to attacking principles

West Brom manager Tony Mowbray will not compromise his beliefs about playing free-flowing football to survive in the Premier League as he closes in on the signature of Real Mallorca midfielder Borja Valero in a club-record £4.75m deal.

The Baggies scored 106 goals last season as they won the Coca-Cola Championship and reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup before losing by a single goal to eventual winners Portsmouth.
