I’ll be honest, they don’t seem that impressed.
Although given the downer that they must be on given the state of the club right about now, I’m trying to work out if I can really blame them. According to a report from Romanian outlet Telekom, Birmingham City lodged a €10m bid for Steaua Bucharest’s 21-year-old forward Dennis Man.
The Romanian is a winger by trade but has also dabbled at playing centre-forward and in attacking midfield, and with a record of 40 goals and 22 assists in all competitions at such a young age, so he can clearly provide some cutting edge when it comes to putting the ball in the net.
However, whether it was the fee, or the fact that it would be yet another attacking player brought into the ranks at St Andrew’s, it seems that Birmingham City fans aren’t exactly jumping over the moon with this news.
Why a striker CB and goalkeeper surely most be a priority 💙🤦🏼♂️

Where do the Blues need to focus on most?
Attack
Defence
And I agree with them, as I said earlier today, we might only have the funds to bring in one player this window, so we have to make sure we get it right. And our defensive record is what concerns me the most, so let’s focus on that instead.
