JACK BUTLAND??

well everyone knows we need a goalie, just Kelvin and Forecast who will never get a start so will be lots of media stories. Bit inexperienced though but seems to be rated. Personally I think we will bring in a foreign goalie a bit older though I wouldnt mind if we bought Butland for the future as well and agreed he could stay at Birmingham if he was starting. would mean following season would be ready, hoepfully for our first team.

Well Green as back up to Kelvin and Butland as future GK signed then loaned back to bham for the season

Green has signed for QPR

Well not a big deal as dont think Green is better than Kelvin, hope to see some signings soon, been very quiet

Well if Birmingham want to try and hold out for more money good luck to them, we move elsewhere and when they go into administration later this year then they may think was not such a smart decision

Forster has signed for Celtic.....and Spurs are apparently moving in for Butland.

Are we still interested??

I think more likely Birmingham have seen him have a couple of dodgy games and realisee that his value may be going down so if they need the dosh they will need to cash in in January. Not sure we will be so keen to sign then. Hopefully Boruc will prove capable of holding his own which will give a chance for Gazzinger to go out on loan and get some experience

Is this really a good time for Cortese to be taking a break??

On the other hand, maybe Cortese is away trying to complete a deal?????

I guess he probably went away for New Year but no doubt others will be getting details sorted out though we know no one will make a decision other than NC. As you say may well be doing some business while away.

He can't have gone far as he was at the match. MOTD cameras showed him sitting in row in front of Terry Paine.

in which case cant put a lot of faith in the rumour!!

Mind you saw the Cardiff goal against Birmingham and if Davis had been in goal he would have been slated to death on a number of our sites. Still not convinced he is as good as everyone says he is.

On Twitter half an hour ago...
