Good signing for Birmingham if true as they need a striker with a bit of pace.

 

[hellroker]

Good signing. Looking forward to see him again in the Premiership

 

[Darandio]

Couldn't this have just been with the other thread? What makes this one more "OFFICIAL"?

I agree with the good signing.

But we have pace, Jerome can outstrip any defender, its using his feet that is the problem!

Also it is not out on our website yet, so i am not believing it until we release it to the public.

Lol what about martins-Zigic-Jerome partnership lol. jerome and Martins running past defenders to set up headers for Zigic!!

Good to see him back in PL, would love him back at Newcastle though :/

That would be quality... HOWEVER

Big Eck is our manager, defence is the priority, can't go throwing 3 strikers on

BIRMINGHAM are making loads of signings probably cos of league cup final v gunners

BIRMINGHAM are really not doing that XD

We are one off the drop, ye its nice to get to a final, but survival is priority, F*CK the cup!!

We need a striker, have been wanting one for 2 seasons, tried and failed with many, we needed a defender to cover for the injured Scott Dann

We loaned Bentley, to show Larsson he isn't our only option, and to add depth to the attacking midfield, as Faddy has been out all season and its showed!

That... is why we have signed 3 players.

Great to see Oba back in the Premier League. His 17 goal haul in the 2007-08 season was nothing short of brilliant and time and time again he saved us from losing.

Use him right, and you have a great player.

So newcastle fans wont feel bad about him returning in another teams shirt to the premier league?

Course not! He was a great player when he was here and I don't think many would begrudge him the chance to get his career back on track.

Decent signing, not the best finisher but has bags of pace.

 

[GodCubed]

Not short of pace and his record shows that he can be a formidable finisher. Good signing for Birmingham.
