ollycutts1982 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Just now, Heisenberg said: Confirmed. Excellent hopefully now the squad build can continue. Let’s hope he stays injury free, has a great World Cup and we get some decent bids in. r_wilcockson and JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinder Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I can’t believe he couldn’t get a better move than Birmingham. Reggie Greenwood, EtoileSportiveDeDerby, Ramrob and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 He's our most talented player, but obviously his injuries are holding his career back. You'd expect a player like Bielik to attract much better sides than Birmingham, I'd guess not many others were willing to cover his wages for the higher risk of having him unavailable. I think this works out pretty well, as long as the 4 new players that Rosenior alluded to are now possible without Bielik's wages on the books. Our squad still lacks depth, 4 players for the same cost as one luxury player is a no-brainer for a club in our current position. There's no guarantee the quality of the team will be any better, but I'd bet that we'll have a far stronger squad than if we just kept Bielik. r_wilcockson, Zag zig, 48 hours and 9 others 2 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Topram Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 What a awful move, not arsed hopefully frees us up to do more business RoyMac5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Sensible as it frees up 20% plus of our allowed wage bill in one move. I do hope he stays healthy and gets to go to the World Cup - deserves it after his injuries. I would bet that he will be injured by the time it comes around though, as he struggles to get through 10 games without being impacted. r_wilcockson and Zag zig 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win for Bielik and the Polish coach, win for us as highest earner and not guaranteed to stay fit. Win for Rosenior as provides extra player funds; I’m just hoping it’s cast iron we get the loan fee, injured or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 Buchanan money + Bielik wages saved, not a bad day for us financially Carnero, Ramarena, r_wilcockson and 3 others 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Birmingham are probably the only club willing to gamble on a crock who's just coming back from a long term injury. Can't see what the issue is. And whether it's Birmingham or Barcelona his wages are now off our books so is good result. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hintonsboots Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Good move for the Rams, to boost squad depth. Hopefully he’ll be 100% fit for us next season in the Championship.

Wages off the books, allows us to bring in a couple of players who actually want to be here and haven't got their international manager in their ear about being selected for the World Cup. Birmingham will struggle with or without Bielik. Basket case of a club.
