He played for a team that finished 7 points off of European qualification in the Dutch top flight. Birmingham are shopping at totally different level to us.

The keeper, May and Marc Leonard all very good signings, know nothing of the CH so can’t comment, but they are shopping as you say a level or more above us.
Also seen them linked with Scott Twine. Can’t see that one happening though.
That would truly be ridiculous. Twine at this level would be 10-15 goals from No10 easily. Would have thought plenty of championship sides would still want him.

Marc Leonard is such a good signing, they're completely taking the piss. Shows who the big spenders really are.
If their manager can get them clicking they'll walk this league.
All feels very risky to me though. If they've spent all that money and their manager turns out to be rubbish it will turn very ugly, very quickly.
It is risky, but you're far more likely to get promoted in this league by being ambitious, than being tight.
If it goes wrong, they'll just sack their manager like Ipswich, find the right person for the squad and they'll get it done. Birmingham are a good move for any manager at this level atm as they've clearly got money, and seem to be ambitious.
Another good signing in this league. Always rated Kane and surprised one of the newly promoted champ sides haven't taken a punt on him tbh. Tidy player on the ball.

I agree, just wonder how long it takes before a revolt and how many of those players stick around if they don’t go straight back up.
Wrexham sign CB Lewis Brunt from Leicester City on a 3 year deal
I mentioned him a while back, a classy defender (for the lower leagues), would've liked him to have come to us .. another good signing for money bags Wetsam
Herbie Kane has now been a player for Doncaster, Hull, Barnsley and now Huddersfield. Think he likes the Yorkshire area and to me says we were never in with a chance of signing him.

9 signings yesterday takes us up to 99. The question is who will be signing number 100 and will they be a Godden?
Northampton also signed their first player leaving just Reading without a new signing. Over half the league now have 4+ signings after yesterday's deals. However it's all gone quiet for Burton and Rotherham, with Stockport slowly closing the gap on the top 2. Will Steve Evans remember where his wallet is today, or maybe Bristol Rovers sudden spending spree will continue.
Comments
£2m on a centre half is just absolutely absurd for League 1 and I doubt he'll even be their most expensive signing.

That would truly be ridiculous. Twine at this level would be 10-15 goals from No10 easily. Would have thought plenty of championship sides would still want him.

Northampton have signed Striker James Wilson on a free from Port Vale.
Reading are now the only league one side with no new signings.
Shame. Would have been a very good signing for us that.
