Max Bird

Um, so I don't know if it's a confidence issue because, you know, he's clearly not been at his, at his top level for Blues for some time.

Um, but you just hope that he can play his way through it because I do, I do still feel that without seeing Max Bird in action, I do still feel that the best route forward is a John Solis, Heck Sung-ho combination in midfield.

Um, and that's, that's because I just feel like Blues need to move on from Iwata in that area a little bit now.

Um, he's excellent off the ball.

I don't think it's good enough for this league.

So hopefully Bird can come back in ASAP please.

Because I think if he's out for a while then They do struggle together.

It's our weak link.

We've got an international break for three weeks.

So I think, you know, if we can get past the next three games, We're going to have Solis back.

We're going to have Bird back.

We're going to have a lot of people then in those positions that can really go and play it.

It sounds like the John Solis injury is not as bad as was first rumoured on social media, but he's not going to play the next two games.

Getting Max Bird back and available, and he's a forward-thinking player.

Mm-hmm.

Lots of assists during his time at Bristol City.

Demaree Gray back on the bench looking a bit fragile at the moment but I don't think any of us after the Southampton game would refuse Patrick Roberts a star it's good to see him back in interesting to hear Taylor Gardner-Hitman being talked about as a member of the squad again I thought he'd fallen out or someone had fallen out or something but he's nearly back from injury as well as Max Burden even though we've got others like heading to the injury table anyway We have a lot of midfielders injured.

Our new signing, Max Bird, is out.

Solis is out.

Mark Leonard is out for a long time.

Gardner Hickman is hopefully available as an option.

So then we've got Liam Miller.

Now, Liam Miller is at not Ibrahim Osman signing that most of the transfer window.

There was just a sneaking hope, stroke suspicion, stroke feeling that the money would be spent on Ibrahim Osman, that there was the there were hints that we had the money.

I've stuck this to sort of first team only players and I haven't spoken loads about or referenced loads of the loanees that have gone out.

talk mainly about like first team players that have come in and out so we'll start with the outs Sinclair Armstrong Ross McCrory Mark Seitz Josh Stokes on loan Joe Lumley Max Bird Emil Rees as of yesterday, all the outgoings, all the incomings, Sam Tickle, Sam Greenwood, Gibson Yard, Jed Wallace, Lisa of ESAT, Brad Collins, Lauren Tolley, Don Ballard, Rio Cardins, Elijah Adebayo, Brian Dekeers-Macker.

I think it's the best part of about 7 to 8 million rough maths that we've got in in transfer fees, mainly around Sinclair Armstrong, Ross McCrory, Max Bird, and Emil Rees.

Probably the best part-ish of that 14 million in fees out, so we'll call that around the six to seven million mark net spend.

It's pretty chaotic, isn't it, Fez? I think people have said there's been a lot done, there's been a lot of upheaval, but bar maybe Brandon Kiersmacher yesterday with Jason Knight not leaving the club, all of them were absolutely needed.

You know, we've lost a lot of players.

We lost the Loneys, didn't we, for starters.

There are some decisions to be made on contracts for Max Bird and Ross McCrory and Sinclair Armstrong was possibly going in the previous two windows.
