The tried and tested wait until they're 20+ and then seek loans at the likes of Nantwich will start to pay dividends any time now. It's all part of the process. It's a model that Europe is showing is a load of nonsense. Why are English 17 year olds good enough for the Bundesliga but not the PL/Champo/L1/L2? More managers and clubs in England need to buy into playing them earlier. Because the talent is there. It is happening but not in the numbers it should be. Which players are these ? Name me the players who weren't good enough in the 'champo' but kicking it up in the Bundesliga...

So Brum are getting £30M for thar gobshite Bellingham (Played 30 games)yet our own wonder kid (Played 0) looks like going for sweet FA Anybody explain ? Bellingham has played nearly an entire full season and has been someone Birmingham could easily state that they have invested in enough to make him a valuable product. Sankoh, has he even been on the bench in an early round of a cup tie?

West Ham have a 16 year old about to leave them with a number of clubs after him.

But he’s being chased by the top clubs so he’s got something and maybe we’ve been to afraid to blood him although admittedly would be difficult in our position. Wonder if he could make the bench tomorrow

As for our 'Wonderkid' let's see which huge club signs him.

If anyone was on the fence as to whether or not these cunts are a tinpot club, this should clear things up.
Absolute rodents.

I've defended him as a player after some comments on here
But that is truly ridiculous. Have I missed something here ?
From my memory bank I recall a Gary Pendry and even Trevor Francis playing over 300 games for them but this is pathetic.
What with the Dortmund players singing I bet the poor lad is cringing

The retiring the shirt number thing is ridiculous anyway but this takes it to a stratospheric level! Is it definitely for real?

Our club ought to tweet Birmingham advising them that in honour of our glorious survival this season we are retiring every players number.

I'm a huge fan of Bellingham's, and I'm happy to nail my colours well and truly to the mast and say that I think he's going to be genuinely world-class... But I honestly thought I'd been transported 20 years forward in time to his retirement when I saw this. Birmingham are weird.
