I've been told he's as good as gone in January mate. 2 clubs in for him already. I've known this since Salford and without actually being employed by the club, my source could not be closer to the action.

Personally I hope its sh*t, but the source don't generally talk crap. I would not want to post this sort of stuff up in case it came true. Personally even with 6 months left, an offer of £300k would not cut it for me. He's worth that to guarantee promotion IMO - although I strongly suspect the club will be making moved to cover any potential loss in the January market before it happens

I am disappointed with recent results, injuries and poor performances but this will be an even bigger blow to our promotion hopes.

£300k for a striker who can't score sounds like easy money.

BCFC has been driven to the brink due to shocking financial mismanagement by the far-removed ownership – Birmingham Sports Holdings. With over £120 million of debt and a crumbling stadium which has been left unfixed for two years now, Blues fans have had enough.

With what will they pay?

It'll be hilarious if the club do this on the last day of the window.

The only chance we have is he has to take a medical before signing for them.

John Eustace must know his injury record from his time at QPR.

Guess the club can’t afford to turn down £300k but fans will be disappointed.
Not sure if this increases the pressure on RW to get us over the line or not.

Should anything of this nature - for any player - come true then we do not have the previous luxury of the loan window staying open. I'm sure I saw somewhere that the loan window closes at the same time as the transfer window from now on.

Moncur looked good though when he first came, well worth the £300k we allegedly paid.

No. We should not be paying transfer fees like that for 30 year olds with no resale value.

Not if Birmingham have the same signing policy on chronically crocked players as us.

Nothing to do with hindsight or how Moncur has turned out, it should be our policy. It's like someone suddenly had £300k thrown at them by Peterboro and didn't know what to do with it.
