Birmingham are not a big club, and never have been. They are not even a big club in the midlands. Villa and Wolves are big clubs, and West Brom are bigger than they are too.

Bull's-eye Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Can't understand why either of them would be interested in signing a pre-contract with anybody unless it's an offer you can't refuse.

To be honest, most English clubs are based in post-industrial towns, so have probably been described as "sh!tholes" at some time. But the players live out of town. Players coming to Middlesbrough, for example, can buy a small country estate in North Yorkshire for about half a million, close to the Moors and Dales, but still within an hour of the training ground. I don't know the area around Birmingham, but I would imagine that there are similarly attractive areas nearby. Seriously doubt Naismith will be in any rush to send his kids to school in Birmingham tbh. I’ve got a lot of family down there. Even the nice areas have high crime rates. There’s plush places like Stone nearish, but if Naismith is looking out for his kids’ as he said he is, then I don’t think Birmingham City will be high on his list of offers he can’t refuse.

You would have to think they are not exactly life changing places to go though. If he wants to move back here for his kids, after Norwich, then I would expect it would have to be something pretty spectacular to change his mind. Can’t really envisage that being a stint at the worst club in that area and a couple of years in the midlands before moving home again being the sort of carrot that would get him biting. Could be wrong of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure Birmingham are a complete shambles of a club at the moment (and have been for the last few years. I get the feeling with Naismith that he's looking for either a life experience or the chance to be a part of something special. Birmingham can't offer him that. Wish all these English clubs roided out on TV cash would just **** off. Clubs like Birmingham are the epitome of do nothing clubs. Destined to sit mid table in the championship for eternity. At least up here Naisy could help develop the next batch of talented Scottish youngsters and possibly be in for a Cup. They've won their League Cup twice since we last won ours.

Koolkeith Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 From what I’ve read the only regret he may have is not playing abroad.

There is probably about 1-1.5k players registered with championship teams and you make a definitive statement about Djoum not being good enough? Ridiculous statement as guys like Sol Bamba and Docherty stroll about in the Epl. It's a big league, Djoum will be more than fine there. An international midfielder who's spent the last three years in a top Scottish team is more than good enough for there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
