horay, he'll at least get a game.

regular football for god!!

Unfortunately that could be Championship football next season Possibly.

It's Gordon who should be sweating about the Championship.

Fair point. Hopefully neither of them will be, but to avoid Championship football Gordon will probably need to move at the end of the season. Although having looked at the current table I'd say the Brummies will need to get their arses in gear if Faddy is to avoid a similar fate.

Kenny Miller?

nah, not that they ve god in their side

And Stephen Pearson and Jay McEveley (sp?). Gary Teale can fuck off.

He'll be offski.

I could see Sunderland keepin Gordon unless they can get most of their £9M back.

McSheffrey is better.

i hope not, i blame mcshane, they tend to concede alot less when he isnt playing

i imagine gordon will have a relegation clause in his contract, was the actual transfer from hearts not really closer to 7 million but with add-ons.

and i could easilly see villa or spurs picking him up if/when sunderland go down.

Who'd be the better side? Spurs seem to have a decent backup, but would Gordon be able to displace Villa's current first choice (is this Stuart Taylor btw? )

right now it's carson, but he's at villa on loan til the end of the season

So it is Gordon could become No.1 either way, but it's possible that he wouldn't get a game ahead of an English international keeper, no matter how shite they are playing.

At least he'll be playing regularly I suppose.

He had a nasty habit of scoring when he played for Everton though, so hopefully he can keep that up

Has he actually signed or have Birmingham just agreed a fee for him?

According to the Sky Sports article, they've agreed a fee, I couldn't see anything about agreeing terms or whatever.

It's at times like this that you learn to l...

Start again...

It's at times like this that I remind myself of all the quotes from people on here when players sign for the Old Firm. They go something along the lines of...'Championship in two years', 'He'll be on the bench and then off to Derby or Tranmere in the Championship in a couple of years', etc.

Did James McFadden and Craig Gordon ever sign for Celtic or Rangers?

Nope Wigan, Derby and Fulham are going down.

So McEveley and Pearson will be, miller will move.



Carson is only on loan and will return to liverpool at the end of the season.
He is better than sorenson who is probably moving anyway and is much better than stuart taylor.

I wonder if Gaz O'Connor will get a game? McLeish seems to favour him but I don't know if I'd put him in my side ahead of McSheffrey, King James, Kapo, Jerome..

Jerome is pretty pish and Kapo is more of an attacking midfielder.

Plus gaz scored against arsenal at wembly. Hope he goes with an all scottish attack, not sure if mcsheffrey can play for scotland

Gary O'Connor scored against arsenal at wembly

EDIT- Sorry emirates, hmm what an odd mistake to make twice

I might be able to see the future, FA cup final, next year?

I wouldn't go if I was McFadden.

He hasn't signed, and Sky Sports has him not agreeing personal terms. There's a thread in the OF forum about it

Football365.com says another club has come in for him and he's speaking to him.

Surely Celtic don't have £5.5m in the bank??

has officially signed £4.75 million plus another million withh appearences etc for birmingham

Gutted

P.S. May be bad career move, but very good signing by McLeish

it's not really a bad career move as he'll be going from not playing premierleague football every week to playing premierleague football every week.

But potentially Championship football next season, is what I meant

potentially, but it doesn't look like brimingham will be going down this season.

derby, fulham, bolton, middlesborough and sunderland have all got much greater problems in that regard.

Birmingham have signed samaras. Is that a sign that faddys not going?

But will he actually get a game every week?

He has played more for Everton this season and I wish Everton would have kept him but he was never going to be a first pick so can see why both parties agreed. Good money to get for him too.

why not? first team football and probably more money under a manager hes worked with before ...if they go down another club will snap him up

anyway ...birmingham top in the post

but at least hel get a regular game at birmingham
