What inconsistency?
They could fulfil their contracted duties as professional footballers, Richard couldn't.
 

Multiple sources as I recall and Dursun himself recently quoted as saying that relations with the club were good throughout the speculation and once told he couldn't leave he just got on with the job at hand and all was good.
Three incremental offers were made and the last of them, while still slightly shy of what Darmstadt had asked for, was deemed close enough to deal. Really tedious given all of this has been in the public domain that folk still use it to beat the club over the head with.

Birmingham can seem like a different country to me at times and I'm only 200 yards across the border in the Black Country!

I'd be interested to know what people think would be inspiring. That's not a dig...I am just keen to understand expectations across the forum.
On the one hand we have people excited about the prospect of Charlie Austin.
Some think Keinan Davis is a good idea...I'd like him but only on a loan to perm agreement. 
Then there's a section of the support that likes any foreign sounding name.
I would like to se a thought out recruitment policy that identifies what we need and then goes and finds that player based on watching them stats and proper scouting. Not somebody who blazes a trail for 6 months a la Nick Blackman or was good 4 years ago...a la Nugent.
For me this guy could fit the bill. Time will tell. We may not even be interested. Turkish press have been right once so far. 
Tall, strong, skillfully, can finish, mobile with  foreign name and a dreadful haircut. Ticks every box for me. ?

6ft 3in German striker from Budesliga 2.
63k followers on the news account. 
Right sort of age and physicality.  Couple of lovely YouTube highlights reels. 
Let's do this...

Wijnaldum has liked a few Cocu posts too...can't wait for him to sign

11pm UK time. 5pm is the deadline on the 16th for the UK only deadline.
He'll sign tomorrow..after we've been stuffed today it will be a little positive to follow up.

Fed up of reading about Chris Martin in so many threads Turning into a complete farce. He has GONE.

Fenerbache were the other club rumoured to be bidding for him. They just made a CF signing. 
Weirdest signing video EVER....
Strapline translates as 'Welcome to the family...'
 

Yeh - But we keep having to start from Year One all over again every time we get a new manager - This is my biggest frustration
For me this is the most successful Year One we've ever had - A full and proper clear out and drafted some genuine talent in from the youth setup - Now Year Two needs to be about getting the style right and establishing a spine for the team - I'm totally fine with a mid-table finish if we can see that moving in the right direction 

I would far rather we took the extra fee weeks and got the right player or then a loan that got lumbered with a panic buy.
