Birmingham City supporters have enjoyed an exciting couple of months with the takeover now completed and nine new signings already through the door.
Kevin Long, Tyler Roberts, Koji Miyoshi, Krystian Bielik, Ethan Laird, Siriki Dembele, Keshi Anderson, Dion Sanderson and Lee Buchanan have joined so far.
The squad is looking a lot healthier than it was a couple of months ago when loan deals expired and contracts were run down by a whole host of players.
There have been departures, though, with Tahith Chong leaving for Luton Town a painful one, consoling only due to the £5 million plus £5 million add-ons paid.
Meanwhile, exciting youngster Jobe Bellingham, the brother of Jude, left Sunderland at the start of the summer in a £2 million switch.
It’s only the start of August and the season is yet to get underway, so even more transfers could yet be completed – whether that be signings or sales.
But how are things looking as things stand, with the roughly £5 million spent on deals? Will there still be spots for those who were already at the club?
1. GK - John Ruddy
Was the Players’ Player of the Season last campaign and is a great voice out from the back.
2. RB - Ethan Laird
Undoubtedly the best option at right-back following Maxime Colin’s departure. Has settled in well.
3. CB - Marc Roberts
Tricky to choose between Long and Roberts but we’ve gone for the latter. Could be either or, really.
4. CB - Dion Sanderson
Blues’ captain for the season ahead, Sanderson will be the first name on the team sheet.
