He's 29, seemingly been around forever and not once made the step up, not a Premier League player. Edited January 1, 2020 by Dr_Pangloss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spend the money we have on Bowen and/or Benrahma on a perm. What makes you think Chelsea and Man U would loan out players they are using? The other 2 maybe more realistic although both clubs around play off mix so unlikely to sell unless at a massive premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would agree that any two of the three suggested would improve us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Eze from QPR looks a real gem but sadly after today’s couple of injuries, our priorities are another striker and keeper I’d still go in for Bowen though. Even Benteke in loan now has to be an option - I would ordinarily be against this but with an injury crisis in that position its not the worst solution Edited January 1, 2020 by theboyangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Chelsea have no ban now so I think they can spend in Jan. Maybe they might let players leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted January 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2020 I think Batshitcrazy would a good signing on loan, but we still need another striker... really wouldn’t mind us getting Ollie Watkins, but like all Brentford players he’ll be expensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaton would be close to 35 if he is out for as long as predicted. Probably done at this level sadly. Terrible news. Agreed that we need to bring a GK in now.

brummybloke Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Striker - mitrovic cost 25 million ? Midfielder - Bowen cost 15 million ? Midfielder - loan Forward - loan Defender - the pony tailed one 6 million ? That's around 45 to 50 million to give us the best chance of survival.

Heard rumours of targetting one of either Timo Werner or Moussa Dembele. There will definitely be players leaving if that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imavillan Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Anyone going onto NewsNow and seeing a link to a former Liverpool striker from Birmingham Live do not bother clicking the link. It's complete and utter clickbait at its worst/best Its Daniel Sturridge Birmingham Live/Birmingham Mail sink to a new low !!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete101 Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Bowen, (1st choice) Benrahma, (2nd choice) Lolley, ( 3rd choice) all scored again today , I'd be happy with either of them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted January 1, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2020 Are there any players we can sell to generate funds? Could we find cash buyers for players like Lansbury, Kodjia etc? Why do we have injury after injury stacking up yet Wolves wo are playing tens of games more have had virtually no injuries whatsoever in 3 years.

Chelsea are throwing Hudson-Odoi on for 20 minutes a game, sure. I don't believe they think he is getting as much game time as they hoped and realistically he'll see that diminish after January now they can go and sign some players. But yeah agree they'd be hard to come by, it's a speculation thread , Batshuayi and or Giroud both likely come available now they can be replaced. They'd have gone in the summer if they could've signed someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do we have injury after injury stacking up yet Wolves wo are playing tens of games more have had virtually no injuries whatsoever in 3 years. Luck of the draw. If it was lots of Hamstrings or muscle injuries I'd be inclined to agree - if I was a Newcastle fan at the minute I'd be raging at Steve Bruce... But not a lot you can do when Heaton and McGinn both fall awkwardly injuring knees and ankles. And Wesleys comes from a bad tackle, which is always the risk when you play the sport. I don't think we can blame our training on the injuries (not sure if that's what you were getting at or not). Targett yes, but a one-off and some bad luck is just that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
