Birmingham now in for Aden Flint. Will we miss out on him and have our options lessened and go for either helender or barts. ? Either, I'd be happy with as jansson played with both . think the swede could be good value if he succeeds like jansson did in 1st season. MOT 👍⚽️😃

Matty, were we ever in for him? I've been saying since our director of football started recruiting that I've got a feeling we will not buy any British players as they are seen as overpriced. I know we've got Pennington but he's only on loan. I may be totally wrong but let's see.

I think we're profiting more from the frustration of talented kids being stuck in development sides in Spain. Huge talent churning through Barcelona and Real youth setups but they never get a sniff of first team football. We've had a decent record of bringing youth through to the first team. Now that's the main development strategy I'm very pleased. Much better to build success than throw cash trying to buy it. Boro tried it a few years ago. Problem was they were only recruiting local lads that weren't good enough and fast-tracked them to the first team. We're casting our net wide and getting hooks in all sorts of places, picking up some serious talent to develop. I'm giddy with excitement for the future.
