Yea - but you are not allowed to sign players who push you on if they are on more money that others

Whilst Brum are trying to sign good realistic targets, our manager is pissing about up a mountain and we're being linked with either unrealistic or shite targets. Oh well. Can't even believe you've just said that. It's not like he's doing it for fucking fun is he?

Perhaps the sale and offloading of Messrs Beattie and Kitson has to be in place before we can commit any big expenditure.

Would I rather TP here doing his job or up a mountain doing his bit for charity? I'd go for option 1.

Aye - but it just a reaction to the fact that whilst our so called management team that is left behind sit with their fingers up their arse, Brum are doing what we should have been - lining up some cracking signings early doors for the right price

www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11694_6171829,00.html Sky Sports News sources understand that Birmingham City have agreed a fee in the region of £6million with Valencia for striker Nikola Zigic. The giant Serbia international has been linked with City for several months, while Stoke, Blackburn and Sunderland were also said to be considering an offer. Having cashed in on new Barcelona striker David Villa, Valencia are keen to raise further funds amid crippling debts and Birmingham will therefore hope to take advantage. The Spaniards are also reported to be eager to cut Zigic from their wage bill due to a salary which is understood to be in the region of £60,000-a-week. His representatives were previously thought to favour a loan move to England on reduced pay, but Birmingham could be on the brink of a permanent deal. Zigic, who stands at 6ft 7in, would add a different dimension to Birmingham's attack as manager Alex McLeish plans for a push towards the European places in the new season. The 29-year-old is currently preparing for this summer's World Cup with Serbia as they get ready for facing Germany, Australia and Ghana in Group D.

We have missed the boat big time again and our last minute dealings will once again bite us in the arse. Why do we fuck about for so long when our targets should have been earmarked 4 months ago. Our transfer policy and team want binning and quick. Fuckin Birmingham ? Are we that shit that we cant attract players over them? Wank Stoke absolute Wank.

I can't believe so many people are experts in International football transfers ! YouTube has a lot to answer for. 2 seasons of regular first-team football in Spain with an average team - 25 goals in 51 games 4 in 5 starts for Valencia this season. 16 in 40 for a decent international team. A player the manager has previously tried hard to sign and obviously thought he could use. Surely he's got to be a legitimate candidate? Worth waiting to see who we end up with come September 1st obviously. But are there many realistic domestic-based candiadates who seem to fit the bill better and wouild command a lower salary? Brum have obviously assessed the market (Cole, Zamora, Kenwyne etc) and concluded not.

Zigic hasn't pulled up many trees at Valencia, but, when he went on loan to santandar, who have more of a direct style of play, he bagged an absolute hat full. There's no question we should do everything to try and hijack Birminghams bid, we'd have to pay twice that much for either cole or jones, it's would be incompetence if we let him go to Brum without bidding ourselves.

now i have to admit, out of all the transfer rumour prospects i hear about on here, i dont know much about Zigic. But damn, over the last year the constant barrage of threads on here about this guy made me think he was a Stoke player already ! Back early in the January transfer window i started a thread on here how Birmingham were going fast and furious after what they said they needed , midfielders (like us) and they picked up 3 or 4 i think, as they said they had 40 million to spend. Of course, all of the experts on here said who cares they would just falter do a Hull and probably not survive anyway !! Now, here they are again, not wasting any time going after what they want (6 million not a lot these days for somebody as amazingly gifted as Zigic, well once again, according to the experts on here that is) and McCleish saying he wants to finish in the Europe spots ! Proof once again that none of us on here really have a clue about what goes on in the transfer world !! some of the "just happy to be here" crowd expecting and happy for us to finish 17th forever as long as we stay in the prem, and McCleish wants Europe in just his 2nd season in the prem so he goes early and often after what he wants while we........................

Fuck off. Moyles has done it. Let's face it, if that fucking lard bucket can do it anyone can. Not that it isn't an admirable thing he has done, but lets not go OTT. H Seems slightly more heroic than sitting on your fat arse splitting hairs about what a good thing him and others have done.

If we'ree shipping out Kitson, Beattie and Tuncay then we're going to need at least 2 replacements, so I hardly think we're going to be able to fork out 12-15m on a Cole or Jones, at 6 million Zigic is perfect, his wages might be a bit of a stumbling block, but if you want a decent striker you're going to have to pay big wages.

If this new model of Stoke City is/was even contemplating making half-arsed attempts for the likes of Jones, Cole and Darren Bent, you've got to assume the overall financial package for Zigic would be very manageable.
It's not like we're living in a cave, shrouded from the reality of Premier League finances
