The Transfer Merry Go Round
Well, we’re a week into the transfer window and as yet, barring the extension of Guirane N’Daw’s loan bugger all has happened. There’s been a bit in the papers about who Blues are going to sell and for how much, but nothing concrete has emerged from the club as of yet. I don’t really want to get into who’s going where, but I did want to write an article about transfers in general.

Ins and Outs – a transfer deadline day summary
September is finally here, and with it the end of the transfer window. It’s been a massive monkey on the Blues’ collective backs, and to see only Scott Dann and Cameron Jerome go on transfer deadline day I think is quite pleasing. Not only that, but Blues made two acquisitions in Pablo Ibanez and Wade Elliott that actually cost money. The shock!

Looking forwards to the week ahead
After a hectic few weeks of European games, transfer intrigue and rumour, things promise to die down a bit this week. I suspect it’s going to be a bit busy in the next forty eight hours as Blues finally (hopefully) sort out the sales of Scott Dann, Cameron Jerome and Nikola Zigic; and even more hopefully bring in a couple of bodies to help rebuild the squad.

Back to life, back to reality – Watford preview
It’s back to life, back to reality today as Blues travel to Vicarage Road to face Watford in the Championship. With being a couple of games behind, Blues have slipped to 21st in the division and Blues need to target points against a Watford side who haven’t scored in the league since the opening day of the season.

Give Hughton a Chance
One thing that is clear from all the reports I’ve seen from people who went to see Blues play yesterday at Middlesbrough is that the team is knackered. They tried hard first half, did well first half but the after effects of playing in Europe kicked in in the second half, and the team just fell away. It’s understandable really, and shouldn’t be used as a slight against them or Chris Hughton. However, with one and a bit weeks left in the transfer window, it’s getting down to a time period when things need to happen.

Selling Dann
Stephen Carr is still a Bluenose, and no doubt he still hates the Villa fans. But what of the man at the other end of that particular ditty, Cheryl Cole’s dream beau Scott Dann? With only 11 days left of the transfer window BCFC’s scouser centre back is still with the club, and there doesn’t seem to have been much movement towards his transfer. Furthermore, Scotty seems to have gained a habit of picking up little niggles that rule him out of games, such as the one against Nacional (which potentially left him cup-tied for European competition). It’s not the best situation.

Stasis
I have to admit, I cursed my timing in taking a week away. I was going to miss for sure the first match of the season and (as happened) the second too. I wouldn’t be able to follow what happened when Carson had his day in court, and no doubt we’d have sold some players and maybe brought one in. As it turned out, I didn’t really miss much at all – and whilst it’s a bit relieving to have a pause in the current maelstrom of events at Blues I can’t help that at the moment we’re trapped in stasis.

Mixed Zones and Mixed Messages
Having a quick flick through Newsnow this morning shows an absolute dearth of stories regarding Blues and transfers – this is despite journos like James Nursey tweeting about how definite it was that Dann, Ridgewell and Carr will be off before the end of the transfer window. I’ve spoken about it before, but I thought […]

Derby County v Birmingham City preview
Well, the new season is upon us. Today sees a Blues team that barely resembles the one that got relegated ten weeks ago travel the short distance to Pride Park to face the Rams of Derby. It’s the Championship.

Squad Analysis
With Blues scheduled to play friendlies against Cork City and Worcester City this weekend, I thought it might be worth having a look at the squad as it stands just to see exactly how thin it is and where I think we will have to strengthen if we’re to have a hope of doing well this season.
