If this is true it’s embarrassing. We’ve wanted him for weeks, finally submit a bid, just to be laughed at by Brum as they snatch him off us.

Oh well, plenty of decent strikers around the world. Would have been nice to get one over on Brum but looks like it could be the other way round.

Hearing news from a completely anonymous source who I won't reveal that Town are 'hanging tough' about new signings

Looks like Brum have managed to get everything sorted over a weekend compared to us counting buttons for well over 2 weeks.

If we don’t have the money then we don’t have it. Got to find a new target

Thought we may see a change in getting deals done with new ownership but looks like we still have zero presence and backbone in the market

Looks like Brum have managed to get everything sorted over a weekend compared to us counting buttons for well over 2 weeks. Not true though, is it? For the hard of thinking: we agreed a fee. Birmingham didn’t have to do that negotiating. They knew what fee to stump up. If true, the contract was on the table. Birmingham just had to beat it. It isn’t penny-pinching or counting buttons. We did due diligence and Birmingham effectively used it against us. We could have agreed a fee in a heartbeat and they were ready to jump in. This is not on Town.

If it’s true fuck him.
With us his has duff the man who revived his career, he’ll be near his family in donny and won’t be dropped next season if we do go up.
With brum he’ll have to travel to a shithole, play under a brand new manager and if they go up i have no doubt he will be brushed under the carpet for somebody new.
If he wants all of the Latter for a few extra quid he isn’t the man for us.

If we don’t have the money then we don’t have it. Got to find a new target Just a possible bit of balance, but it is possible that it is as much a matter of the wise/sensible use if money that you have available to spend (regards both fees and wages).

I’d rather lose out on players than pay more than we want. You can’t for example have a top salary cap then pay someone more or every player on that cap gets the higher amount.

I think brum have a much bigger budget that’s what we’re up against this season. If they want someone they are going to get them because money talks. Mays agent will have known they were interested all along

We’ll be the ones that are sticking to the rules like always, while every other Tom, Dick or Harry think “fuck it! What’s the worst that can happen? It worked out for the likes of Forest.”

Dear lord, what a sad little life, Birmingham City. You ruined my season completely so you could have the 23 goal a season striker.

For me it's as simple as we wanted him, he's proven at this level, the manager knows him, likes him and wanted him here. If we haven't made the deal happen then we've failed. It's that simple. If he goes to Brum it's a rival in the same league that we should be able to compete with, especially with the manager connection. Feels a bit like last season so far tbh, appreciate it's early days but if we're missing out on targets it's not a good start. Either way I wish they'd announce something!

If he wants all of the Latter for a few extra quid he isn’t the man for us. What do you call a few extra quid? If it's an extra £2k a week that's £300k over a 3 year contract and for someone who's bummed around non league/L1/L2 until the age of 30 that's a lot of money. Oh and if he came here he'd still have to travel to a shithole. Would you rather we just kept bettering their offer until our budget had run out?

As I have said previously this is a massive window for Cartwright and his team.
No excuses and nowhere to hide.
He still has time but already his comment of “we will do our business early” isn’t ringing true.
Tick tock….

They’ve come in placed one bid higher and snatched him off us.
