Steve Bruce ready to 'wheel and deal' for new look West Brom
Steve Bruce says he is ready to wheel and deal to transform Albion’s squad – with the boss believing he has shown in the past he knows how to conduct a mass overhaul.
Following a dismal campaign that currently sees them sitting in the bottom half of the table, Bruce has been tasked with building a new Baggies side for the Championship next season.
That won’t be easy with the vast majority of Albion’s underperforming players contracted for next year.
But the boss believes he showed at Villa he is capable of moving players out to bring new ones in.
“I was in a similar position to this one down the road at Aston Villa,” the 61-year-old said.
“It needed a major rebuild and we went on to lose the play-off final.
“I was sacked three months later but that is football.
“We didn’t have a huge amount money. I had to sell (Nathan) Baker the big centre-half to bring in John Terry.
