18 months as a squad player at Birmingham City.

Replacement for Shaw?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Hes an international so has to be semi decent.

Got to wonder how hes going to fit so many midfielders into the squad. Also assuming Hatate will be LB now.

Bitton
Soro
McCarthy
Hatate
Rogic
Turnbull
Ideguchi
McGregor

Turnbull is out for 2-3 months I believe.

Soro can go tomorrow for all anyone cares.

Bitton and McCarthy are squad fillers.

Who knows what this guy will be like but he seems to be getting very positive reviews across the Championship and within his own squad.

We will see

That still cuts it down to (assuming Hatate at LB)

Rogic
Turnbull (When hes back)
Ideguchi
McGregor
Riley

With

Soro
Biton
4 year McCarthy

in reserves

Take Riley out of that for likely most of the rest of this season as he’ll need time to settle and we are still fairly threadbare.

In other transfer reports i have seen this morning:

Middlesbrough are supposedly offering Jack Simpson a move. Plus links to QPR and Swansea. I've been in contact and offered him a lift to whichever one he fancies.

Rangers after Siegrist. Hopefully as no2 to replace McLaughlin.

Keef Jackson is touting Gilmour to Rangers, like anything he says has any impact.

Doekhi and Souttar to Rangers links.

Celtic are to pay up to 3.5m for the Birmingham City squad guy.

Jota deal to be completed this week.

It's been an interesting week at Tannadice.

Tony Watt coming in either this month or in the summer.
Newly capped Finnish goalkeeper CarlJohan Eriksson signed
Trevor Carson put out on loan to Morecambe (where he had a terrific save in the cup this weekend)
Youngster Kerr Smith about to be sold to either Aston Villa or Leicester if you believe the papers
Benji Siegrist linked with a summer move to Rangers on a free

And we signed a 'collaboration agreement' with Fulham.

A busy period for the Terrors

But not better than McGregor.

I don't see McGregor retiring this summer so he can't be our no1.

I think you answered your own question there

One of the tabloids is saying negotiations to make Jota's loan permanent, are in advanced stages.
I've never known a period like it. Seems like every transfer target is achievable. I keep expecting to hear 'we tried but...' and it still hasn't happened for a long while now. Credit to the board

We don't have a reserves. Only a B and they are really for development. Though next year, who knows?

How many games have we said Turnbull, Rogic, McCarthy are blowing out their @rse? Or Calmac is on his 12th game in the month. Or Bitton need hooked for being on a yellow and still going round making stupid challenges. Or the pace drops 2H.

Games are won or lost in midfield, generally. Especially big ones. I'm OK with it. A bit frustrated for Shaw who I don't think has done anything wrong but relative to the experience the other have he isn't going to play. Christie went out for 1.5 years after we signed him and came back better for it so trust the staff having looked at him. We are still light at CB. Two games a week can be a war of attrition.

Burnley are allegedly in for Morelos, as they may be selling Chris Wood to Newcastle.

Hatate is a midfielder

posted on 10/1/22

Know f all about this guy, Birmingham fans seen to
be gutted about losing him so who knows, I was hoping we would have brought Wolfe in, I was hungry for that move. Anyway lots of possie noise in making CCV and Jotas loans permanent, big Jullien is back and looks like Soro is America bound. For a change we appear to be approaching January transfer in the right manner, given that it is unlikely that we will win the league this year we might be in a strong position for the CL qualifiers in the summer.

Played as...

Central Midfield 19 4 2
Left-Back 12 3 -
Attacking Midfield 6 - 1
Left Winger 6 1 2
Right Winger 4 2 -

Could be either.
