Yesterday afternoon reports emerged that Championship side Derby County were preparing to rival Birmingham City in their bid to sign Burnley striker Lukas Jutkiewicz.

The striker who is currently on loan at Blues is enjoying his most fruitful period in front of goal, having scored five goals in 11 games for the B9 side, but would he really consider moving to the East Midlands based Rams?

Arguably you could quite easily say that they will offer him more wages and they might even be able to out weigh Blues in terms of transfer fee paid despite our recent take over but what really needs to be looked at is what does each squad have and where would he get the most game time.

Well, it has to be said loud and clear, Jutkiewicz would most likely get the most game time at Blues and should he sign for the club, which according to Gary Rowett will happen, then he has plenty of years to develop, especially if he signs either a three or four year contract.

Derby are easily one of the most backed teams financially in the league behind the likes of Newcastle United and Aston Villa, but Jutkiewicz would be making a mistake if he moved to them because they are a team who damages strikers.

Take a look at the likes of Nick Blackman, Darren Bent and Matej Vyrda. All three of these strikers are fantastic on their day but the problem is, Derby seem to have sucked the life out of them.

In the summer, the Rams paid £8 million for Vydra from Watford and he has made very little impact to the side, which I really struggle to come to terms with considering just how good he was for the Hornets when he played for them in the second tier of English football.

For that reason and that reason alone, I believe that Jutkiewicz will opt to stay with Blues past his loan expiration and I also think he will continue to score goals for the club.

Who knows, he may even end up out top goal scorer with over 15 goals, now who would have thought that when we signed him!

Blues fans, how happy would you be to see Lukas Jutkiewicz stay with the club past January? Let us know in the comment section down below!
