Ayala on the other hand is one I would definitely look to get in - very good centre back assuming he stays fit. As for the rest of the team, we need pace out wide, height in the middle and somebody who can get good quality crosses in off either foot. Beats me who we can aim for.. What we need is another JJ or Antonio on the wing but difficult to think who's out there. Maybe Ollie Watkins from Exeter would be the person but I expect he'll end up at a Bristol city, and then be sold for huge profits in a season or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is fine. Start the bidding at £100,000. Job done. It's more than 12 so they won't be able to count fingers to see what we did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HirstWhoScoredIt Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I think we need to be very careful about the average age of our squad. That is the one thing that puts me off Keogh. If we don't go up and eventually come up against FFP or Chansiri decides not to put any more money in we don't want to be left with an aging squad on long contracts. The thing I really like about Keogh is his leadership. He's one of those that you hate when he plays against you. He's always pulling team mates into the right positions, he's always getting under the skin of opposition players and he is always putting pressure the referee. We are definitely lacking in these qualities as a team. He is also more comfortable on the ball than Loovens or Lees which would seem to suit the style Carlos is looking for. No way I would pay big money for a 31 year old centre half though. If he's available for £1m then fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always a risk how a player will adapt when suddenly going to a club with huge expectation. Could be brilliant but safer bets available in my opinion. Unless Barnsley would accept sub £3m, but i doubt it...... Edited June 14, 2017 by HirstWhoScoredIt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he would shout at Pudil then not to be caught out of position everytime he is up against a half decent tricky winger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The £3m+ reported is too strong for my liking. For 2mil, I'd say fair enough do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloxwich Owl Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 Birmingham City manager Harry Redknapp is looking to follow up the David Stockdale signing with a swoop for in-demand John Terry. Blues are the third West Midlands club to register an interest in the former England and Chelsea skipper with Aston Villa and West Brom both trying to persuade Terry to move to the Second City.
