Scores goal, celebrates by kissing ITFC badge in front of the Brum fans. Instant town hero. |  |

I feel the same, think if we can sogn the Spanish lad then, these 3 are better than the last 3 we had up front when we got promoted imho |  | |  |

....he's just a replacement for Broadhead. He could play that "Left 10" role with SS moving more central when Omari goes. |  |

I like it purely because it will annoy a lot of Birmingham fans. I expect this means Broadhead will go now though, which is a huge shame IMO. |  |

In another chat I'm in someone described him as an upgraded TJJ and that's quite handy - could play as the 9 but flexibility to use him elsewhere as well. |  |

Not sure what people expect to be honest. The lad from Chelsea would have been good but we're not going to get better than Hirst to come in as a number 2 striker. Realistically there doesn't seem to be many forwards on the market in our sweet spot. Maybe the big lad from Millwall would have been good but is he going to come in and play second fiddle. Akpom is a coming with lots of experience and hardly over the hill at 29/30. If we go up I'm sure we can shift him out for a couple of million so seems like a reasonable deal.

Yeah really positive signing in the sense that he can be the 'third' 9 option but also play the inside 10 position that he did so effectively for Carrick at Boro. No doubt KM will have been on the phone to get the comprehensive report. Hopefully Avon & Cajuste through the door next |  | |  |

Hopefully he got on well with Hackney - ‘oh, well if Chuba’s there, count me in.’ |  |

It does seem like a potential replacement |  |

I’m guessing something like: “Never mind. Move on” |  | |  |

“Never mind. Move on bab.” - more likely, no? |  |

Akpom medical at itfc on 18:41 - Aug 4 with 968 views | Smoresy | Championship top scorer 22/23 Championship Sky / EFL team of the season 22/23 Championship top 5 / top 10 player on the data sites 22/23 Championship top 1 / top 2 striker or attacking midfielder on the data sites 22/23 (vying with João Pedro) He went two better than Szmodics's 23/24 season in this regard and scored one more goal. He's also the same age. And he spent the back half of last season playing regularly for Lille (half from the bench, half from the start), who finished 5th in Ligue 1. And he played the same amount for Ajax in the first half of the season before they loaned him out. So I won't count my chickens but he'd have an argument for enjoying the best individual Championship season of any member of our squad, as well as playing in a better team last season than any member. |  | |  |

I think this point of view is missed a lot with our entire squad tbh. This squad, quality wise , is significantly more talented than the promotion winning side of 23/24. We just need that momentum/belief the L1 squad had on promotion which Birmingham will have in bundles |  | |  |
