Still has some way to go to convince Birmingham fans, judging by their reactions. A tough task for the lad; character-forming, no doubt - good luck to him coming through it with flying colours!
The way the deal was done, and when it was done (3rd. February) did we have any choice but to leave him at Numberg? - we'd missed the deadline to bring him here, hadn't we?
It probably won't be on the Albion official site until he's actually physically singed (and the ink is dry!) - the BBC article only reports he is going to sing after his medical. As is the way of the world these days, it'll probably be on the Albion FB page before the official site anyway.
Just dotting the 'i's and crossing the 't's to go then. Looks like we're trying to stock up on teenage strikers now that presumably we've got enough wingers and players wanting to be the no.10!
:facepalm: Winning and losing isn't important for the purposes of development. Of course, the aim is to win, but for the development squad winning is not so important as learning. OK, you've had your argument. I'll leave it with the facts.
Nonsense! If the aim for the U21s was winning PL2, the Paint Pot trophy and the National Trophy, etc, we'd put out the strongest team possible. We don't. (and with very good reason).
That is not to say they're not trying to win - they'd better be!
