I'm going with the wanting to leave reasoning.

Obviously i'd like him to stay though

I think Hansson is likely to go before Keshi

I'd reckon that as well , Keshi has been excellent since he arrived at Blues.In the running for player of the season last year .While Hansson was meh and seemed like he was made of Hobnobs.

We need both, we need players with pace and running power but also ability and intelligence, ideally we recruit players who possess all of it in one package, but we should have a squad that possessed everything, I think that’s all anyone has said.

Don’t think a single fan has asked for players who are simply big and can run around a bit, that alone is pointless without intelligence, ability, quality etc.

I’m fine with Fujimoto cause we are simultaneously bringing other physical profiles in, I just remain a little unconvinced by his pedigree to date, I think that’s fair enough.

I'm joking about big and can run around stuff, I know what your saying.

It's fair to be unconvinced. As I've said previously, it's the hardest area/position to tie down a consistent player at the club. When was he last time we had a consistent attacking creative midfielder who played most weeks a couple of seasons on the trot? Hughes?

It's a difficult role to fill, and normally, those players either get shoved out wide or play bit part roles before been turfed out. We've seen it happen for years, Dunn, Crowley on and on. It's mainly because we've been a more back foot, defensive team for years so managers have no plan as to what to do with those sorts of players. Battling Birmingham. We arent that anymore.

We spent £3/4M on Thor while in League 1 last year. Im not convinced tbh. But this kid, on a free. It's not exactly a massive gamble is it.

We actually didn't. Think it was more like 2.5m
I’d be gutted if Alfie May didn’t get to play a squad role for us.

He’s earned it I reckon. Even if it’s 15 minutes every few weeks when we need a goal off someone’s arse; that’s what he’s good at.

I’m not convinced by Thor and have similar reservations, I think he might be sold if we can get a decent chunk back.

I agree, low risk, I also hink the fact he’s Japanese probably appeals to the club and is a huge factor in it too.

We're going to be a very small side at this rate, concerning in the most physical league in the world.

You're assuming Beadle's been signed to play in goal?
There's too much opinion and not enough fact.

I’m sure Davies is educated enough to know how his style of play and type of players will cope in the championship.

Loads were worried about our style of play on the league one pitches and we broke the points record.

Don’t matter how big you are if your chasing the ball around all game.
