A Birmingham fans I deal with through work asked me what I thought of Sam Gallagher when they signed him. I said "Don't expect a premier league striker. He's a bang average championship striker"

6 months later I saw him again and he said " he isn't even that good"

Whilst statistically he got a good return last time, I didn't think he was brilliant in general. A bit underwhelmed to be honest. I was hoping for an upgrade on DG but I feel we've just got a decent backup. 

Injury-free, I still think the best signing for next season could be Chapman.

I think that sums things up for me at the minute. We needed (still need) an upgrade on last season’s squad. Right now we have replaced two of the departures and brought in an understudy and have another understudy on trial.

Lambert brought in Graham on loan and he brought with him much needed quality and experience. Coyle convinced him to sign up permanently. (Coyle!). Mowbray doesn’t seem able to bring in the same kind of quality - despite having money to spend than Lambert could have dreamed of - and we are now relying on Gallagher to grow into the role.

Feels like there is going to be a sting in the tail of this window.

As far as GK go ( totally random shout) what about the Everton back up/ benchwarmer Maarten Skelenburg? Former Dutch national 36 years old. He has made zero PL appearances the last two years. Think he might be a season long loan possibility? Risky obviously but has a great pedigree.

Didn't think he was that old, could Adrian be an option for us?

Other GK's on free.

I know @Paul Mani mentioned him earlier but the more I think about it I just cant see it. If he's made available for loan then surely there will be better options than us available to him.

I genuinely believe it will be a signing of that level. Ajayi is better than him and Bauer imo

Not many I've heard of tbh on that list , personally although I don't see nationality as an issue , the ability to communicate and organise is essential for a GK , so any keeper who doesn't speak Any English I would have to rule out , sure i recognise the Greek lad was he at Ajax or PSV one of the big Dutch clubs

I could put blindfold on and pick an upgrade from Raya from that list.

 

No idea what the hold up is.

Maybe... like... holding out for plan A?

No matter what your opinion of Gallagher is I think you need to give him some credit for holding out for us when he had other options available. He could have got better wages and stayed nearer Southampton rather than uproot the length of the country. Any player that shows dedication to the club deserves some credit from me. Personally I quite like him, think he will do well for us. 

Loans to pick up from next week. 

Believe gk is closing

A bit better list this, GK's with ending contracts next summer. Contains three of our "targets".

Ajayi available for £2m. Leeds sniffing round now.

The thing I love about Ajayi is you could have Mulgrew standing on Lenihans shoulders and you still wouldn’t beat him in the air.
