not for mePretty decent forward line up
Even if they do get promoted they're obliged to buy players that aren't really that good. If they think Brady and co are in it for the long term they are deluded.I thought Birmingham would be smarter with their signings tbh but it's very much a Wrexham on roids model. If it doesn't work out this season they'll be stuck with a fair amount of aging shite with little sell on value on their books.
Spot on. Signed players but not a team ready for a long hard season in the Championship. If the younger players are knackered by the end of the season what are the players coming towards the end of their careers going to be like?It's a really strange strategy from Birmingham.
They've done some nice business through bringing in Doyle, Cashin and Osayi-Samuel. But then with their 'marquee' signings, they've opted to target players whose careers are on a downward trajectory, yet will still demand high fees / wages.
For a club that currently has the capital available to spend freely in the window, the direction they've taken is pretty bizarre.
They seem to be reverting to the Barry Fry school of managing Birmingham City; throwing money at it and hoping something sticks.I thought Birmingham would be smarter with their signings tbh but it's very much a Wrexham on roids model.

Where he goes isn't as important as Ipswich giving them a lesson on the pitch. Looking forward to the richest club in the world getting put back in their placeAkpom transfer war is relatively amusing. Birmingham play Ipswich on Friday...
Be funny if Ipswich smashed them 4 nil and watch those blue noses get put back in their place,Where he goes isn't as important as Ipswich giving them a lesson on the pitch. Looking forward to the richest club in the world getting put back in their place
Don't worry I've heard we've put a late bid for him and are close to hijacking it.
True but I’ve heard Sheffield have put a late bid in to hijack our hijackingDon't worry I've heard we've put a late bid for him and are close to hijacking it.
A great deal for Ipswich if true. Send him back if they somehow fail. £7M for helping them get back to the Prem would be peanuts. And best of all he doesn't go to BirminghamBlues seemingly gazumped! Getting closer!
But like I said they're in a no lose situation. Promotion or send him back. An extra body ready for a long, hard season in the Championship.I think he's the ultimate 1 season wonder tbh. He's 29 and generally apart from that one season he's been pretty poor. A very Blues signing, surprised Ipswich are bothering.
Ipswich are very short on numbers up front, it is a strange signing out of kilter with their previously successful approach but I guess needs mustI think he's the ultimate 1 season wonder tbh.

What's embarrassing about it?Wrexham first time in 2nd tier since 1981 (only 4 seasons there in their entire history 77-81) and they haven't sold out their tickets for first game away at Saints. Very embarrassing that.
Hope Birmingham get himAkpom transfer war is relatively amusing. Birmingham play Ipswich on Friday...
The little looks at the camera from Wayne is proper Brent.
Questioning his work ethic when they were the ones who decided to hire him, replacing the manager who had them in a play off position.
The team talk presentation is a bit mad though
Promised myself I wouldn’t watch this, but reneged on it already. Brady comes across as a proper c**t.
They keep telling everyone they are a big club now and need a big stadium.What's embarrassing about it?
