Do any of the Ed's know if Birmingham are realistically asking for 30m+ for Jude Bellingham? .

I would love us to go for him in the summer but for that price for a 16 year old it's probably unlikely.

{Ed002's Note - Birmingham want more than £30M for Jude Bellingham and know that their are clubs from across Europe watching him, including clubs who can afford to take the risks and clubs who will give him a chance of first team football before the likes of Manchester United (who are very keen).}

My thoughts! New Manager/ Coach and backroom staff, the Team safe, cannot now realistically reach any European places, so; why not over the remaining games blood a few youngsters.

Unfortunately DFS money talks and dropping a few places down the league has a financial cost so it may not be a risk the management think is worth taking.

Who says we can’t reach a European place?

There will always be reasons to delay blooding the youngsters. Some are saying we are in with a chance of Europe. Others will be saying we can't risk them at start of season, when we are playing well or can't put them under undue pressure if we are playing badly

There will never be a perfect time but Carlos has to find a way to introduce some of them. Other teams are reaping the benefits of giving youth a chance, even the top sides and we need to do the same.

I think we were lucky that Gibson signed a new contract, Kenny might not come back after his spell away. What do we do with the likes of Gordon, Simms, Gibson, Adenirons, ANO? Let them leave and rue the day or give them a chance.

Surely qualifying for the Europa league is a perfect reason to bring some young uns through and play them.
