Birmingham confirm player exits

[BBC Sport]

Birmingham release of Kevin Phillips, Sebastian Larsson and Lee Bowyer - plus three other players - following the club's relegation from the Premier League.

More...

 

[Joss]

Larsson will be snapped up by a PL club IMO. Kevin Phillips will score **** loads of goals in L1/Championship but never quite make it back to the PL. Bowyer will do what he does best amongst a load of really dirty clubs and players somewhere below the PL.

 

[Blynd1]

Lee Bowyer shoulda come to the mighty whites Leeds!

 

[Grenwald]

Lee Bowyer back to ER?

losing Parnaby and Jiranek is more news than losing the others as the other 3 were expected but I was hoping we would keep Parnaby and Jiranek as I thought Jiranek would fill in for Dann or Johnson if they leave.
I presume this means we are on the hunt for a replacement CB or else Dann and Johnson arent leaving(yes I am hopeful)

 

[Jak]

could be a replacement for Kilkenny I guess, sort of similar kind of player. Doubt he will tho, will go somewhere in PL. Taylor could be a good backup keeper for a PL team. I wouldn't mind us getting Parnaby, could be a decent rb for a cham side.

Brian how much you rate Jiranek? I know nothing about him, a good CB for championship level? We could sure use one, or 2.... or 3

lee boywer will join championship team
larson will join a mid prem team
KP will join a champ team

i think

Whenever Kevin Phillips is free, he's always been linked with Argyle for some reason. But thats just very unlikely, now we are in League 2 and unsure of our wage budget. The most logical reason for the rumours on Pasoti was Phillips linking up with Peter Reid.. Load of sh*t really.

He'll go to a Championship Club or someone like Sheffield United in League One, and score **** of a lot of goals- He still has some pace with him, very impressive for someone of his age.

 

[Alcaraz]

wonder which PLM Club will sign Larsson, a team at the level of Sunderland/Newcastle perhaps

 

[StuW]

Larsson to Newcastle or Sunderland me thinks, not surprising they have decided to cut him loose....

 

[I3east]

Lol, Phillips and Bowyer both been linked to SWFC, never going to happen like .

It could happen. Phillips and Bowyer would be great at L1 Level, and despite a mid-table finish last season, big players will still be attracted with SWFC

A bit surprised with the exit of Jiranek (recently joined, hasn't he?) and Larsson (although he is on a massive wage for his not-so-good quality) as I think they have quality and are good for Birmingham. I also thought Brum could of offered new contracts to some of the players and sold them on for a little bit of money. However, I do understand that as a consequence to relegation, Birmingham need to get rid of players.

Kevin Phillips - A play-off challenging team in League 1 (Huddersfield) or Notts County
Seb Larsson - Sunderland (link up with Steve Bruce) or Newcastle
Lee Bowyer - Lower Championship side (maybe Barnsley?)
Maik Taylor - Championship side as backup
Martin Jiranek - A promoted side or a top Championship one
Stuart Parnaby - A mid-table Championship side like Leeds
