Ok - let me elaborate. A quick google states in various sources Aberdeen are looking for around 6 million for Bojan. Considering the boy has 2 years to run and they sold the lad Ramsay for 5 million a couple of years back, they seem to be 'OK' financially I'd wager a guess that seems about right. Looking at Birmingham's incoming transfers in the past 3 years they have not spent more than £2.5 million(approx.) on any one player. They also have not had a significant outgoing in the past 3 years that would look to fund this. Does this move seem likely given the freely available information I have just spent 2 minutes googling? Is it too hard for someone who's actual job it is to replicate this or is it some kind of naff AI that makes these things up?

Castore are useless. How many years in a row have we been selling new shirts for? Do they have the data in their CRM of how many have sold? You'd think they could use it to be prepared to meet demand but they are stoopid.

Steve Clarke is a footballing dinosaur. His football is garbage and he and John Carver look like 2 jakeballs you’d try to avoid in a pub. I wonder if he will get any criticism in the mainstream media or they will make excuses for him. The team selection and formation was all wrong.

Never mentioned anything about players moving to the EPL mate, I don't care where they go when they leave us. As long as we make enough cash to buy the next one and they have a pocket full of medals when they leave is good enough for me. I've said before my opinion on the player trading model isn't trying to win the lottery with a team full of Calvin Bassey's, but bringing in guys like Sakala for very little on modest wages and then moving them on for a small profit a few season later is much more realistic and effective. My point on the profile is more on the wages side. No matter how good or bad a player Clinton N'siala turns out to be for us he will still be much better value for money than Ben Davies. We just need to shop smarter which is what I think(hope) we are doing. Celtic are moving on that Korean dud Oh I think he is called for a profit, considering he looks like total dugmeat that's good business. But again look at the profile of the guy, a small transfer fee and modest wages for a young player from South Korea, it doesn't work out and he moves on for a profit.

The only players that matter are the ones who are here and want to be here. The ones we went after who chose another option don't matter. I do like the profile of the players we have been linked with though, younger hungry guys with room to grow. Younger players tend to demand lower wages generally so are a more cost efficient option and have less risk around them as they tend to keep value better if you need to move them on if it hasnt worked out.

Its quite clear we are looking at cheap / available younger players at the moment. Cheap in terms of wages in most cases and although Cortes is quite a high transfer fee for us he will sign a long term deal for a modest wage. I don't think we will see any real experienced or high cost players come in until we move others on. The likes of Albion Rrahmani will likely come in after Lammers has been sold. Don't think we will bring in a first choice CB unless we can sell Davies or Goldson. Both on big wages. Hopefully we can move on the likes or Lawrence, Matondo, Yilmaz and re-invest the funds and the wages into players who can play consistently and who are robust.

Do we have enough financial resources to survive?

He's supposedly only getting 7k per week there. Seen it on twitter somewhere.
