Damn the dirtiest player,and he had the nerve to gloat to the Blackburn fans after scoring!!! We didnt deserve to lose,1 point would have been fair. Few points clear now -> We need a quality striker ASAP,or we will be close to relegation for the rest of the reason.The fact that we score a maximum of 1 goal in the league is NOT morale-boosting. Stead is OUT of any confidence.Loan him out I say,as long as we get someone in.Its for both our goods. Bothroyd,Gallagher looked out of their depths. Thommo wasnt even there alot of the time. Matteo is a nerve-wracking player,doesnt add anything to offence,and can be a liability. FERGUSON WAS MISSED in the middle. Damn you for being spineless and selfish enough to bail on us now,after we stuck by you for 1 year of poor form and injuries.

I had seriously forgotten that there are only a few days before the transfer deadline.

Jim is that your hunch or some more concrete info!

If I were Nissa Id consider myself EXTREMELY unlucky to be dropped after some great games,especially when he could easily play instead of Matteo! Disappointed that Ferguson isnt on the bench.I dont think its the injury. I have a feeling we wont see him in a Rovers shirt again.

Injury or is he not up for it! Interesting that BBC is reporting we have told Ferguson that we will allow him to leave if they up their offer considerably (double), but that we are also willing to extend his contract! Gers told to UP it or go home

I dont like the fact that JW has said that Bazza has been unrelentlessly been saying that he only wants to go to Rangers. Did it turn so bad for you overnight Barry?1 month ago you were settled and happy,what happened!

True, but whats the point?We pay him and get nothing for him and make no use of him?We might as well sell him? Or do we make an example out of him. I doubt we will go the way you are talking about, we wont ruin his career Im sure.

It all depends on how "desperate" Ferguson is to go back. If he says that he wants to leave and he wont play for us,then we have no choice do we really? Otherwise Rangers can take their money and bugger off.

Dado if this is the logic you are losing then we have paid you team 6.5 million already. Then if you are giving us "back" 4.4 million (which wont happen cause you only offered 0.5 million real cash, then we would still be losing over 2 million on a transfer which we made 18 months ago, which gives you back a better player!

Rangers are trying to ROB us,they were hoping his transfer request would see us ready to sell him cheaply. They would/should have raised their offer by now. I hope their CHEAP tactics dont work and Barry realizes that he is better off here,continuing to prove himself rather than taking a step backwards at his relatively young age.

I would bet Bothroyd is back straight in if passed fit. Im HOPING Barry is at least in the squad,but maybe his mental state might be questionable. Savage and Thompson,Ill take that thank you very much.

Id rather keep Bazza,IF HE IS truly happy to stay if the move to Rangers doesnt materialize,than sell him for 5-6 million.

Birmingham have conducted themselves with no dignity,and our officials havent responded. We kept a dignified stance,until Robbie gave them some low blows in todays press!!

Thank God for JW. The lack of official reaction from our side on the bid was starting to make me think we would consider it eventually. Ill take 5 million pounds and the writing off of the remaining payment.Id even take 4.5 million and writing it off. cause that would mean virtually a 7 million transfer with the money we owed them.

Would anyone be up for a straight swap with Bellamy? Hmm wouldnt mind that at all.

Well,if we dont give it to MGP then we should be giving it to Andy Todd,he can inspire the troops.

Hmm he was settled 4-5 weeks ago, now he isnt? TOO FISHY! Wait and see Ferguson will not go back to Rangers but will be playing in England in 2 weeks,at another club. Remember neither he nor his agent have officially said that he is HOMESICK. Well at least I hope we get 5 million pounds for him. I would be GUTTED if we got 3.5 million.It would be a disaster to sign Savage for over 3 and sell Barry for just about the same.

OMG! What is bigger? Bigger city?Then fine! So what though? We are the bigger CLUB in every sense of the word. More trophies,more success,both in the past and present,and an FA Premier League champion!

These Brummies stay in the Premier for two seasons and they think theyve shifted the earths axis. SO WHAT? We won a cup in our first season back up!We went to Europe through the league a season later when we finished 6th! What the hell have you done? Buying reject players from other clubs is all you do. Good luck,we will see what happens when the mercenary steve bruce does a runner on you and how you will thank him then!

Ya there definitely are better midfielders playing in this country.But,unfortunately for you none of them play for Birmingham! We got a few here though,you are free to watch them strut.

Id be foolish to say I expect us to win,but come on we got to,even if we put out 5-6 reserves. Id start MGP,Stead (gotta score now),Reid in the middle as a test,McEveley or Gray at left back. 3-4 changes to Saturdays team to freshen it up,giving rests to a couple of players.

or blackmailed! If you think you will be signing both Diao and Faye then you are dreaming. You think Diao left one bench to come to another bench?

BBC seemingly saying that tomorrow Savage will sign.

I expect a win by a couple of goals hopefully.I dont think Sparky will rest players especially cause Dickov is suspended with Bolton anyway,and that game is 5 days later on Monday and not Saturday.

Phillipl if it were true then conceivably we wouldnt afford paying 2-3 million for Savage!
