Craig Posted 1 January 2005 Posted 1 January 2005 Birmingham City are hoping to tie up a deal for Burnley striker Robbie Blake in the next two days.Blues boss Steve Bruce is keen to make the 28-year-old his first signing in the January transfer window and may fork out around £1.5m for his services. "There's still a bit to do at Robbie's end but we hope we can do something in the next couple of days," said Bruce. "He's got really good ability and I think he can play in the Premiership, though it's always a gamble." Bruce added: "He's a little bit of a different player to what we've already got and he would give us an extra striking option. "When Dwight Yorke has had an injury we've had just two strikers available and we've been forced to play people out of position." Burnley boss Steve Cotterill has already admitted he is resigned to losing the services of his skipper. "I've resigned myself to thinking that Robbie is now going to be on his way. That's very disappointing as a manager," said Cotterill. "That's why I made him my captain. I've got loads of time for him and it hurt a lot having to put him on the bench against Wigan. "He's been great for me. There's only one person who suffered here and that's me because I can't pick him anymore, but I just think that he deserves a chance to be playing in the Premiership. "The two chairmen at Birmingham and our club are talking about the future and I'm sure things will materialise in the future unfortunately." Deserves to go to a Premiership club i reckon.

PompeyFox Posted 2 January 2005 Posted 2 January 2005 As much as Wigan deserve to be where they are at the moment, the slippery slide can catch anyone out. Didn't it happen to them last year?

emmalcfc Posted 3 January 2005 Posted 3 January 2005 Wigan boy, whats the name of this site FOXEStalk, and who are the foxes? Leicester last time i looked! So is this me being stupid in thinking this, but I expected it to be Leicester chat, not with people dissing our club (seems as most people on here are Leicester fans, and the ones that aren't, don't cause trouble apart from you.) Did you think when you came on this board, that we were all going to praise your club? Well if you did, you're more stupid than I thought.
