We should look at European team with quality playmakers and identify the club who will need Darren Bent upfront and then do a deal for the playmaker.

I wonder how long it will take before we see first departure or signing. We know about Petrov already.

Any player coming from Peterborough needs to be introduced very gently to the outside world. Wheeled vehicles, the domestication of animals, that kind of thing.

A valid point, but I must add that as far as domestication of animals is concerned parts of Birmingham leave much to be desired, with feral drug dogs running rampant and bejeweled, tattooed Small Heathens lurching from one lamppost to the next spliffing skunk and drinking from weirdly glowing tins.

Ah, the voice of experience.

Without adding anything positive to the thread, can I just say that Kone is shit and I can't believe so many have suggested him.

Indeed, A47 is less a road, and more of a time machine.

With the relative proximity of Bodymoor Heath to the airport, it'd probably take months just to get them not to stop what they are doing in training and point at planes every ten minutes.

Mark somebody...? Isn't that just the most frequent shout at Warnock, Dunne and Bennett in recent times??

English players are never really popular with European clubs though. I think we will only be able to sell him to another Premiership team.

According to the B'ham Mail, Paul Lambert is linked to Hull full back James Chester who has a year left on his contract. He's a former Man U youngster.

Anyone seen him and know if he's any good?

Like others have said he is a CB and we have been linked with him before.  Can't really see himleaving Hull now they have been promoted, but he looks a decent player and is comfortable in possession.

Still wouldn't mind a Bid for Redmond. Are SHA still in such financial trouble that they would sell him on the cheap?

I think he is nailed on to leave due to their finances, apparently anyone they can get good money for will go. I would have him like a shot, think he is an excellent prospect and would add depth to the forward line.

I think we now have a new pulling power where talented young players are concerned. Much has been made throughout the season of how young our squad is and more recently how it's all coming together. Add to that the type of football we try to play, any decent player who's "comfortable in possession" will see us as a team moving in the right direction and going places.

A win on Sunday to help us climb up a few places, hopefully to 11th, will give any potential signing something to seriously think about this summer, not just here but also in Europe.
