Clark would be a Docherty replacement/upgrade, though I'm not sure how much of an upgrade he'd be
In my view Docherty isn't good enough for Championship
He was bang average in league one So I have to agree
Same here - I know there are ‘unsung heroes’ and players doing stuff that goes ‘unnoticed’ / players that ‘keep it simple’ but blimey - he must be in a league of his own in that respect
Heard we’re in for Dan Potts, Tom Lockyer, Amari’i Bell, Reece Burke, Gabriel Osho, Pelly Ruddock Mpanzu, Jordan Clark, Fred Onyedinma, Zack Nelson, Alfie Doughty, Cauley Woodrow, Carlton Morris, Elijah Adebayo, Louie Watson, Joe Taylor, Aribim Pepple, Admiral Muskwe, Harry Isted, Matt Macey, Cameron Jerome, Harry Cornick, Carlos Mendes Gomes and Henri Lansbury.
Louie Watson - there's a name from the past!
Remember after one pizza cup game getting into a long discussion with others about whether we should sign him as he had had such a good game!

He was technically up to it , clearly not mentally

Think that’s very harsh, he improved like a lot of other players after January.
He did improve but I just don’t see it with him - he obviously worked in the system otherwise we wouldn’t have got promoted but he was far from being a key player and he may well have been told to keep it simple but let’s be honest, he can’t do much else
Fulham probably open to letting him go permanently doesn’t look like he’d ever be good enough to make their prem squad. Surprised we’d be interested in a 10 like Harris rather than an 8 to replace Docherty. Maybe going for a very attacking midfield to compensate for a very defensive back 5
Was behind £5m of Willumson and Jay Stansfield being played as a 10 when they started Alfie or Lyndon Dykes up top so I'm not too fussed about his numbers.
Would be shocked if we could compete with either Derby or Brum for fee or wages if it's permanent.

Maybe it depends on which of the interested clubs are looking to make it permanent or just a loan. I’m guessing Fulham would probably prefer some cash.
3 goals and 1 assist last season for Brum. Hardly a creative spark.
Looking into it more he only started 10 league games for Birmingham, the other 19 league appearances were as a sub.
I don’t see where he fits in with Carey and Berry competing for the attacking midfield spot, and that does seem to be his role rather than a box to box or defensive CM like Docherty.
If it does happen it must be because we see a lot of potential in him as we have more obvious gaps elsewhere.
Don't know much about him, seems to be a mixed bag from Birmingham fans, sounds like he is a player with potential rather than one ready to make an impact now.

Would be surprised if we were in for him.
Taken from Sky Sports and would be a perm.
Number 10 in FM who can also play CM or out wide.

Wouldn’t be my first choice but he’d be a good pick up - plenty of room to improve and be worth a lot more money 2-3 years from now.

Some views there.
Still think we need a lot better based on those reviews and stats, but if the fee is fair, it could be a coup.
