Not fussed myself. Yea I agree Albrighton was decent, but he is only used in emergencies now, barely makes the squad. Like Vardy, I love sharky, but his times up now 1

Said he was too good for Championship but should go to a bottom 10 prem team such as Brentford. Isn't good enough for Villa. Waste of air. Sigh, seems even when we not in the EPL the media are still trying to rip our squad apart. We top of the table, so makes little sense for KDH to move to a lower table EPL club.
oxford blue Posted 18 December 2023 Posted 18 December 2023 Given Vardy injury record, Cannon's inexperience Iheanacho & Daka off to AFCON (and probably leaving during window p at season end), I think a greater priority for a goal scorer is need than seems to be the case. It appears every name mentioned is a midfielder or defender. 1

It appears every name mentioned is a midfielder or defender. I can only assume we’re confident Daka and Kel will stay till end of the season and Vardy/Cannon will be enough whilst they’re away. Mavididi started as a striker and Mcateer filled in there briefly earlier this season. maybe not a huge priority in Jan but should be in the summer - whether we go up or not

Fox85 Posted 18 December 2023 Posted 18 December 2023 January will be key for us. We have money to spend still and also players will feel comfortable if we are flying the league aswell knowing they will be playing Premier league football next season. I reckon 2 or 3 players will come in
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 19 December 2023 Popular Post Posted 19 December 2023 Jordan James really impressed me tonight, very much like Scott Wharton and Hayden Hackney they are young dynamic central midfielders that have the potential to be PL class. Been linked with Jordan James before 7

That's a fair assessment though on KDH ability, I do think we have a great chance of finishing above Brentford next season, so it's a bit short sited.

Been linked with Jordan James before First time I'd seen him. Can't make my mind up on whether I thought he was decent, or just the stand out in a crap team. Personally felt like sky were building him up too much due to him being from the academy that the Bellinghams have just vacated. Did like his grit though and was pretty composed on the ball. Another McTominay maybe. 1

Another McTominay maybe. The touches and movement for both goals show that he is a baller. Nobody has come close to scoring that sort of goal against us this season, most usually come from defensive lapses, deflections or hit and hopes, that first goal was genuine top level class. It sounds like he's only just started playing in a more advanced role too. Edited 19 December 2023 by Lionator 2
Kinowe Soorie Posted 19 December 2023 Posted 19 December 2023 Hopefully Enzo notices player like Jordan James and others, from this division. Much less of a risk than signing players from abroad, such as Soumaré.

Another McTominay maybe. The "Bellinghams" of the world will be why Birmingham will charge through the nose for future graduates like Jordan James who, in reality, will probably become solid players while getting nowhere near the level of Jude (not many will, ). He looks good, James, however they'll demand mad money, especially now financially stable, and I'm not sure the potential is enough to warrant a large outlay of funds. 2
Claudio Fannieri Posted 20 December 2023 Posted 20 December 2023 I was impressed with Jordan James looked a decent player and one who would no doubt thrive in a better team. He is also versatile as he can play the holding role too, would be a good addition in the January window to add depth to the midfield and would fit the profile of player we seem to be going for. He would really kick on under Maresca’s guidance 1

He would really kick on under Maresca’s guidance Read a few comments on Birmingham twitter that it was his first good performance in a while. Young obviously so that's no surprise, but that's certainly not the level he's been putting in most weeks by the sounds of things. For all Rooney's faults it sounds like he's the one who has asked him to play as an 8 rather than a 6, similar to N'Didi this season.
