I think they might have hit the nail on the head with the tweet they sent out.
Priceless.
Both in a literal sense because we paid nothing for him and I suppose a figurative sense because, well, we’d be in dead lumber if it weren’t for his contributions so far this season, with four goals and five assists in all competitions since joining in November.
I’m talking of course about Jeremie Bela, who has become a mainstay in the Birmingham City side this season ever since we signed him from Albacete and is arguably one of the first names that you would put on the team sheet.
Was Bela our best bit of business this season?
Yes
No
So it’s no surprise that the club would want to share some love for him every now and again by posting about him on social media, which is exactly what they did on Monday, and the fans were more than happy to join the love-in for the 26-year-old Frenchman.
And he cost us literally nothing. What a player! #KRODown

Best bit of business there ever was or ever will be

Looks like we did a good bit of business on this one. More than can be said for the likes of Fran Villalba for instance.
