Wow. Sounds very good value if you look at some of the fees that are being slung around!! What's the catch??
I would imagine all the add ons are structured in such a way that they'll be easily met e.g. x amount after first goal, x amount after first premier league appearence etc and so give Birmingham a reasonably steady income over the next few months.
Evening all, with Vaughan, C Martin and Jackson gone I reckon CH will defo bring in another forward possibly Hooper. McNasty has said there will be 5 - 6 additions so I reckon an attacking CM and defensive cover after that. Oh and possibly a new No.1 if Ruddy has 'a blonde moment' and decides to leave for Chelski
Just found this http://www.caughtoffside.com/2013/0...chase-to-sign-dutch-international-leroy-fer/? We live in hope
Richard Askam thinks Leroy Fer is due to have a medical Tuesday next week aslong as no one else comes in....
Very happy with Redmond! I've already bemoaned or lack of pace on here so he fits the bill perfectly. And for around £3mil including add ons, that's a complete steal! Him and Pilks will be a good little battle to retain that left wing! Next up you'd hope would be a stiker as we only have 3 at then moment. Then, if the Toivonen deal doesn't go through, another CM/CAM. Then it's what ever needs strengthening from there. Very happy with the deals done so far, lets hope CH can keep it up!
I do think he will be eased into the starting eleven. I would be surprised if he played over 25 games for us next season, I think he will start to really become a key player a year or two down the line. I hope he does manage more but I think inconsistency could be a slight issue with him this coming season. Nothing against him but it's rare to see a 19 year old have a consistent season in the top flight. I still think he is a future England winger and could be our next Huckerby in the way he gets the crowd to his feet when he gets the ball.
Redmond is a brilliant buy, both in terms of quality and value of money. I'm confident Hooper will arrive, and assuming we hang on to Holt, I think that will be it for strikers. We definitely need a left back, and beyond that it's probably a couple of central midfielders - one defensive, one attacking.
No deal is straight forward is it.... According to Skysports we have competition for in demand Carlo Nash from Cardiff!
According to Wikipedia he hasn't played a competitive game since 2008. To be honest, I don't think it's a bad move, especially after last season you can't really doubt Hughton bringing in another. As well as that it will enable Rudd to get a whole season under his belt which I think is very much needed for him. Hopefully have a similar effect as Paul Crichton did when he signed. I remember he used to drill Robert Green along with the goalkeeping coach when he was at Norwich. No surprise he is goalkeeping coach at Huddersfield at the minute.
Jeez a lot of us didn't think we would sign someone of Rvws quality, so there is no reason why we couldn't sign Fer. Rvw might help swing it too. Glass defo half full
Dame N'Doye? Left field... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/norwich-transfers-striker-dame-ndoye-2026871? How likely do we think this is? The article seems pretty confident, it makes some sense and he's the right price range. Would take a bit of pressure off RvW and he certainly looks the business.
