Birmingham City open talks with Fulham for Stansfield

Birmingham City are looking to take League One by storm this season.

The Blues have had an extremely busy but positive summer transfer window so far.

They were relegated last season on the final day and it ended a forgettable season for the club. At one point they were top six contenders, but an ill-timed managerial change saw them drop into the third tier.

Stansfield, 21, played 43 league games for Birmingham City last season, scoring 12 and assisting two on loan from Fulham.

The English forward spent the year before in League One with Exeter City, scoring nine and assisting seven from 36.

He has yet to get a real chance in Fulham’s first team and now reports claim that Birmingham City have opened talks to sign him on a permanent deal this summer.

It goes on to say that while Fulham are in a strong negotiating position given his contract until 2027, they would be willing to let him leave this summer and a deal is possible.

THE QUIZ STARTS!

An ambitious move

Chris Davies’ side have spent big this summer and are going all-in for promotion at the first time of asking.

The Blues will undoubtedly be favorites for the third-tier title, but many clubs before them have tried a similar tactic and struggled, so it’s not a foregone conclusion, nor does spending money guarantee success.

However, a permanent deal for the youngster would be an incredibly strong signing and would once again show how seriously Birmingham City are taking the league this season.

Looking ahead

Davies is in his first season as manager but has been dealt a strong hand and it will be interesting to see if he can manage the dynamics of the dressing room and get this team firing at their best.

The Blues will be chasing top spot, so there will be pressure on Davies and his staff to get the job done. However, sometimes too many signings mean it takes some time for the squad to tighten up, and with the season starting in a few weeks, there isn’t much pre-season left.

Birmingham City still have five weeks to add to their squad, but as it stands they have a squad more than capable of returning to the Championship straight away and are certainly one of the teams to watch in the Football League this season.
