This is in the paper today... Is it just me who doesn't want the guy? He was a nobody then plays a handful of games post lock down is apparently worth 20m? Nah, we have 4 keepers, sell some before bringing a keeper in.

Fair enough if they are a high profile player we want (they have high wages already) or if they are of high quality with lots of other clubs willing to pay the wages. We are talking about players in an inferior league, at an inferior club, looking for their first big move with wages much lower. Also please take into account wages are what get clubs stuck in future transfer markets, 3.5m a year wages for a player coming in from the championship replicated to other players coming in will greatly reduce future budgets, also where does the contract when the player does well go? if you give them 40 and it goes well give them 60 or 70 not 70 and take it to 100 plus. They are also easier to shift to a new club if you haven't gone crazy on the initial wage.

Perhaps but if we had bidded for said players its likely the agents, media, players or maybe even clubs would have leaked it to get better terms, higher bids or other clubs to bid. IMO

I get a tiny niggling feeling we are going to go for all the lesser players.... Eduoard - Watkins Aarons - Cash

Fair enough then

I can’t believe people still believe he will sign, if he was going to he would have already.

Those three are 40m not 75m!

I don’t get the love affair of some with this guy but he’s got to be better than Taylor not to mention much younger.

All this buy players from the championship and get relegated is bull they are either good enough or they aren’t. It’s called scouting. I want Aarons as he seems like a sure thing to me but I’m not going to write this guy off until I’ve seen him play in our team for a while.

No idea, what I do know is if you don't try and buy them you don't get them.

Id be sad if we got Cash instead of stumping up a bit extra for Aarons

More like Elmo

Actual footage of Birmingham City transfer budget?

Perhaps it is straight cash and no add ons?

Seeing as Matty Cash is to my knowledge the first player this window we have apparently bid for I thought it would be worth adding a thread for him. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/aston-villa-10m-bid-rejected-18847570

25m is a serious bid throw it in and see the response, it will probably cost more but you have to start somewhere.

First time this window I have seen a paper say we have actually bid for someone 10m for Matty Cash rejected they want 15m

Waiting to sign someone

Well if the club thinks it can get it after all he would be a replacement for a 50m sale I just can't see us getting a lesser player than him with that money and a pretty decent chance it is an improvement Alex Grimaldo from Benfica is apparently available for 30m a vastly superior player.

Probably but there isn't much else to talk about so we may as well chew the cud over this hypothetical

If we could make a significant profit on him then I don’t see why we wouldn’t let him go he’s not a stand out player and say 25m would buy a replacement at least as good.

Tim Allen looks different.

People said that last week
