There’s not many guaranteed 3 points in the league any more. Everyone is recruiting smartly these days.

I just checked it's 8 open play goals and 11 pens

That's an awful return at that level for the money they spent no matter how you try and spin it

He can't control that. It's bizarre that's the point you're pushing. His numbers last season also aren't really that awful and you can't just discount pens to suit your argument.

The season prior in the Championship he scored 13 goals in open play.

surprised he hasn't ended up at a better team

Sargent likely off then?

Hopefully Wrexham or (unfortunately more unlikely) Birmingham to fill that third relegation spot

This is true - I even fear for our bi-annual Middlesbrough roll-over

If you spent 15m on a player and he returned 8 open play goals in league 1 would you be impressed?

They massively overspent on him it's not bizarre it's fact. 13 goals in the championship is still not worth what they spent either.

From Birmingham's current crop, I only see Doyle as a player that gets into any of us, Ipswich, Saints, Leicester and Sheffield Utd teams. With not many of them getting into the teams below like a Norwich, Watford or West Brom.

As a football fan, I'd love to see the Brum derby back in the PL, but I just don't see the team as close to good enough at the minute. They need 4 or 5 big signings to be up there still imo.

Genuinely stunned by this signing for Norwich. Very very good striker and a rumoured fee of £12million!

Apparently turned down Lens who finished 8th in Ligue 1 last season.

Blues will go straight up
[/QUOTE]
Can't see it at all myself. Yes they broke the record points but they are hoping for several signings to gel quickly. They also need players to jump from League 1 to the Championship. To go straight up they need to be better than Southampton and Ipswich. We're in good shape. Sheffield United shouldn't be too bad either.

I hope Blues blow up big time, sick of their fans already, a few I work with think they have the league sown up already.

Yep - they are pissing me off.
Fans, club, pundits ... One big jizzfest.
All we've had so far is @Saddlebrains offering a few favours.
Hope they struggle.
