@bluemachinepod Delighted to see Lyndon turn into prime Lewandowski and Koumas play a 10 minute cameo disguised as Ryan giggs on his debut when he couldn’t beat an egg for us. Is this a fluke or does it show flaws in CD’s armoury and his limitations to get the best out of players in future.

@ToweringZigic I think Osman will be a dark horse… I think he’s going to be pivotal in the final push this season.

Glad to see Osman and Solis in. Important to remember with Priske that he hadn't played a game since mid-November before he joined us, so he's basically still in preseason mode. As frustrating as it is, he will need easing in with sub cameos for now #BCFC

@BCFC_USA @BCFC @carlosvcnt_ @UNDEFEATEDinc I’ve never been so sure about 2 signings… absolute mustard. Next season we will have a manager that they will thrive under.

@SugaDanio @BCFC @carlosvcnt_ @UNDEFEATEDinc We have been honking lately, should have thrown Priske and vicence in to shake it up a bit

𝙏𝙀𝘼𝙈 𝙉𝙀𝙒𝙎 ⚪️ One change from Stoke, Big Jhon is in from the off. @carlosvcnt_ starts on the bench.

@BCFC_USA @BCFC @carlosvcnt_ @UNDEFEATEDinc Plus he hasn’t got the physicality away from home… Vicente is in form and he doesn’t even get the nod. Odds on for a pathetic 20 min cameo at the end.

@BCFC @carlosvcnt_ @UNDEFEATEDinc Duck should absolutely lose his starting spot after ducking that corner and being non existent in away games, of course Daviesbot won't play vincente

@alexedicken I have a feeling we’ve had to settle a fair whack of that to get him gone, zero chance there was a fee involved.

@alexedicken £22k a week off the wage bill. Absolute monstrosity of a signing…

Bailey Peacock-Farrell has left Birmingham City to join Blackpool permanently. If my adding up is correct, that means only six of the 17 players signed in summer 2024 are still in the building. birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football…

@DaddyCoffee73 @EmmaSzewczak They are 2 completely different structures… a conservatory is a fully glass roofed structure, horrible to regulate with heat in hot and cold seasons. An extension would be traditional roof, hipped or flat and may contain velux’s. It would need planning perm and building regs.

@SugaDanio @EmmaSzewczak It's what people call them nowadays because they don't want to call it an extension or a conservatory... That doesn't mean it's not pretentious.

Absolutely crying at this Telford house on rightmove describing an extension as an "Orangery"

@The87Hurricane @EmmaSzewczak If it doesn’t… I’m afraid it is indeed… an extension.

@SugaDanio @EmmaSzewczak Does this even have any glass in the roof? 🤔

@Olibcfc @BCFC Double reveal with Hwang Hee-chan! 😂

When’s Mitrovic signing @BCFC #bcfc

@gary_morg84 @J1875_ Neither is Jay…

@J1875_ Robert’s isn’t a 10

Dimmi left, Priske upfront, Vicente right, Roberts in the 10. Lemme see it.

@PotterDave_ I can tell you now… Pony is a compliment, he’s nowhere near that good.

Remember when we tried telling them he was fucking pony and they replied back saying “he’ll thrive at Birmingham” 😂😂

@jdbluesME @BCFC Gotta shift Bailey Peacock Farrell first… he’s on £22k a week 🫣

With Priske and Vicente arriving on big(ish) wages, as well as others, does this mean Kyogo could be loaned/sold to Celtic (or even Swansea)? #BCFC @BCFC

@Cal_Whetton1875 @BcfcJordan99 I disagree. We have Dimmy, Roberts and Osman. Jay and Priske can play out wide too. Why not spend it on a LCB and a number 10 OR a cheaper alternative to Vicente like Mikes Johnston who’s an established player.

@SugaDanio @BcfcJordan99 in fairness, “adequate” isn’t the right word for gray on the wrong side or willumsson.. vicente is a level above and a quality signing for the championship. if roberts got injured we’d be fucked. also notice how tired he was 2nd half saturday, need rotation

This Carlos Vicente deal is horrid. If he turns out bad could be such a terrible decision from us. He is gonna be earning 3million euros a year at blues. Meaning £50k a week. I really hope this gamble pays off well. #BCFC #KRO

@Doddzie09 Horses for courses…

Some of you didn’t want Carrick btw #bcfc

@ToweringZigic I think the biggest concern is that we’ll rely on injuries to keep them all happy with rotation. We now have 3 very good wingers, a fourth who would in theory trump them all would mean dumping Roberts or Dimmy?

Quite surprised to see people not fancying Vicente to be honest. He’s a La Liga player who’s highly rated by Alavés fans - he’s quick, has obvious quality, and would comfortably be one of our best players on paper. I also like how different he is to Roberts - nice contrast #BCFC

@bluemachinepod I presume I may be in the minority with this one, but do we need to have the uncomfortable chat about Jay? Have we fallen victim of trying to shoe horn him into this side without really knowing his true starting position even now into his 3rd season? He’s not a 10, nor a winger…

@BloozEXTRA Any sensible Blues fan knows the answer… CD… “Hold my beer”

Is this our best starting central midfield pairing going forward? #bcfc

@Jamesssyb Ethan Pye could be the answer to this. The lad is a big, strong LCB. Great potential.

Really want to like Neumann, but he just causes a lot of problems. We miss klarer on the right side and a left footer. But he also just looks panicked, watching klarer read a ball in the air and Neumann is night and day difference. Clear he’s more suited to a back 3 #bcfc
