It would be quite interesting to see where our playing budget lies in comparison to the rest of League One. Looking at the size of teams in the league I bet it's higher than people think.

Until about a week ago, Wilson's last shot on target was in October. Regardless of his quality / previous form, that will be ringing serious alarm bells for Southgate. Personally disagree Wilson is a better player than Ings. Ings has always had quality and like Wilson, has had to fight his way...

I meant Ings, Abraham, Calvert-Lewin, Sancho, Sterling, Hudson-Odoi, Greenwood.

Gut it funny man

Herd?

Are you purposely trying to be thick?

So what? He's also had a poor season in front of goal this year. Players don't get called up to the England squad because of their form in seasons gone by anymore - look at Dele Alli's exclusion in recent friendlies as a case in point for this. In terms of strikers and forward players there are...

I disagree entirely. Bar those three you mentioned the squad was awful and once Juke was sold and replaced with Alex Nimley the writing was on the wall. Baring in mind in that side we also had Conor Thomas, a fading Gary McSheffrey, Chris Hussey, Gary Deegan, David Bell and Clive Platt...

I highly doubt he'd get called up to the Euro's even if that were the case

I think people fail to grasp how big a gulf the difference in quality between Championship to League One actually is. At the end of the day Birmingham have a range of quality players and shouldn't really be where they are in the league to be honest.

More importantly we have a more disciplined player in O'Hare. It's no secret that Bright was a bit of a maverick.

It's not actually that common for owners to allow a manager to (within reason) have a complete free reign of who they want to get rid of and who they want to buy - even at League One and League Two level. I think that's one of the key reasons why he likes it here despite the issues.

I don't understand the purpose of the comparison though because if the weaker player had a footballing brain you'd surely pick them every time? Possessing physical attributes doesn't automatically make you a good footballer - they merely improve your game. Plus, you can work on your physicality...

Both would probably be awful so neither. Your comparison doesn't work.

Why are you getting so angry about something that warrants criticism? This is a football forum, if you want to kiss Badlan's arse rather than offer opinion then I'm sure the club would kindly pass on his contact details. Or better yet I believe he has a Twitter account.

One day? He's 23 not 17. Realistically if he can't get his head down and work hard to break into the team now it's highly unlikely that he ever will.

Wilson is the exception not the rule. Plus, at Kastaneer's age he was ripping it up in the Championship - not failing to feature in a League One U23's game.

Yeah I understand all that, you're misunderstanding what I'm getting at. It's the fact he'd been scouting him for 6 years and he's nowhere near the player that he initially believed him to be. He claimed to have watched Kastaneer at a number of games and as a result has probably spoken to his...

Bakayoko could be playing in the Championship by your logic then

He's not even plying his trade in League One so how can you make that prediction?
