not sure arsenal is that more an attractive option than us. they've got cl football as you mentioned but i honestly believe we have just as big of a chance getting mata if we decided to bid for him. unfortunately it looks like we'll have to get rid of a few before we can start adding to the squad again.
imo we need a lb, cb and attacking mid/striker to be able to put in a real title challenge. mata is signing for arsenal

Completely agree, although would prefer attacking mid or rw to a striker. Cisskho, Dann and Mata?

From Birmingham Director who was talking about Foster and Dann
When we talk about offloading players, we will consider players on Premier League wages as this is not a sustainable scenario for an npower Championship club,
Come on Kenny, snap Dann up. Surely he will come less than 10million?
Back to Back World Champions baby!

They would be fairly ideal signings, but whether any of them will happen at all remains to be seen. I'd certainly welcome all 3, but i definitely agree we need a player in each of those positions - think our squad is a bit light in those areas.

But mata has a 25 mill buy out clause according to spanish journalists, cissokho is at least 10 mill apparently, and the same with dann, the 10-15 mill figure is constantly being banded about. So whilst fair enough I have used a few apparentlys and joournos can't always be trusted I do think in truth you have undervalued those 3 there. You aren't getting all 3 for less than 40, and probably more like 45.

That's shockingly low, and i personally don't know how true that is, but that's what Sky and other sites are reporting. I'd be sick if he went to Arsenal for £15m, tbh. Not to mention shocked. Birmingham are overvaluing Dann, in fairness. I can't see him going anywhere for a penny over £10m, if even that.

He defo won't be leaving for less than 20 mill and he renegotiated his contract last year to take a bit of a pay cut to instill a buy out of 25 mill so that clubs could get him for tht when Valencia were asking for 32 (the previous clause). With regards to Dann, you may be right as Birm are in free fall, im not sure how much he will go for.
