I don't think it is a secret that we have been interested in Russell....Several Journo's have confirmed it...So it wouldn't be beyond reason for a bid to have been made, certainly in light of Birminghams interest...
I think it does, I imagine he won't play Solly for the whole 90 mins....I would prefer the option off the bench to be Murphy rather than Skalak.... So yes it does matter....to me.
