Birmingham City’s squidgy-nosed boss Steve Bruce has pulled off a bit of a coup by snapping up Arsenal loanee Fabrice Muamba on a permanent basis. The 19-year-old has been one of the stars of the Blues promotion season. Arsene Wenger had previously indicated that Muamba would not be allowed to leave the Emirates permanently.
The energetic midfielder has signed on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee (presumably to save Wenger’s blushes unless Birmingham chairman David Gold has used his porn millions to pay over the odds!). If he maintains his current form I wouldn’t be surprised to see him knocking on the door of the England squad by the end of next season. A good buy, Pies fans?
