Would be a great signing on loan.

Did well in a very poor Birmingham team last season.

Agree

His late Dad played for Exeter for most of his career I believe.

They unretired his dad’s shirt so he could play in it for them. What a wonderful gesture.

He would be a good signing but I think we are joining a queue for his signature. I'd also like to see us actually invest in a striker. We have not had a proper number 9 on our books since Moore.

In my book, yes…!

TBH I was hoping for someone with a lot more experience at this level. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure he's going to be a very good striker in the future but I don't believe it's what we need this season. We already have Davies and Etete at a similar age, why bring in another?

Stansfield scored 12 goals in a team that got relegated. Reasonable to assume he could score 20 for a top six team.

I think it’s disrespectful to Stansfield to compare him to Etete.

I have long thought that we will sign two strikers anyway. One younger one on loan and a more experienced striker on a permanent, as you’ve suggested.

Two strikers are needed as we are back to where we were last season if we sign one and they get injured.

Classic. Made me laugh

20 goals? As a very wise company director once told me " to assume makes an ass out of u and me".

I think it's more disrespectful to Etete to make a comment like that.

We need an experienced striker and there's no indication as yet that we are going for 2 strikers.

We need a striker and get another on loan .

Agreed an experienced Striker, this league is tough and we don't want to miss opportunities waiting for young ones to learn on the job, as you say we have a few like that already

Fulham are more likely to sell him while his value is high.

Would be a really good signing but looks like a few clubs want him permanently..

There are a few reports on Twitter that Fulham have accepted a bid in the region of £5m from Birmingham City for him.

Yes it looks that way

So where is the backing of bulut transfer budget?

Apparently Brum are offering 5-6 million, maybe Cardiff didn't think he was worth that much or decided they'd rather pay that kind of money on a more experienced striker.
