Outs / Ins

Hopefully there won't be too many departures this transfer window but I'm not expecting too many additions to our squad either. Any players we sign will most likely be loans or free transfers again but that doesn't mean that they'll be rubbish. Hughton knows what he's doing.

Out - Jean Beausejour sold to Wigan for an undisclosed fee (rumours vary between 2.5 - 4 million)

Good luck to him. The tubby Chilean always gave 100% for us and this was appreciated by the majority of Blues fans.

He's never a winger though. Too slow and always seemed reluctant to try to go past a player, although his big arse came in useful when holding up play so that he could bring others into the game.

Hopefully we won't miss him too much and I'm sure he'll get a good reception when he returns to St. Andrews in the Championship next season.

When's Yeung due in court?

Criminal or civil?

The criminal charges for money laundering are due to be tried in November, I believe.

He's got a couple of civil cases coming up aswell, the first being 28th February. It's just a loan default arising from him using his multi-million pound apartment as security against the cash to pay Matt Derbyshire's wages last season. Nothing to worry about.

Oh, that's OK then......

Chris confirms that he wants to bring in two or three players:

Bye Liam. Can't get in the team much this season and surplus to requirements. Has wanted to leave anyway and hasn't looked interested this season. I'd be surprised if we get close to £ 2 million for him though
