Taken from BBC sport:
BRUM Head coach: Chris Davies Last season: League One champions (promoted) Key ins: Phil Neumann (Hannover 96, free), Kyogo Furuhashi (Rennes, undisclosed), Tommy Doyle (Wolves, loan), Demarai Gray (Al-Ettifaq, free), Bright Osayi-Samuel (Fenerbahce, free) Key outs: Alfie May (Huddersfield, undisclosed), Bailey Peacock-Farrell (Blackpool, loan) What are the expectations heading into the season? While many clubs will wish to calm expectations, Birmingham and their owners, Knighthead, will embrace them. They will believe that summer recruitment, which is certainly not complete, has strengthened what was already a Championship-worthy squad. A huge hike in revenue over the past 18 months means they have a budget to keep their foot on the gas, and under Chris Davies they have an identifiable style of play that will tempt further quality footballers to come to St Andrew's. A play-off run is plausible. What are the major strengths of the team to help them achieve that? Blues have built from the back, where the redoubtable Austrian centre-half Christoph Klarer now has Phil Neumann and Eiran Cashin for company. England under-21 keeper James Beadle will compete with Ryan Allsop between the sticks. But they also have more creativity with Kyogo, Gray, Doyle and Kanya Fujimoto taking some of the burden off Jay Stansfield and Keshi Anderson. And under Davies and his staff, they will always be well-prepared. And what are the underlying weaknesses that could hold them back? A style built on keeping possession sometimes lacks punch and guile. While setting a host of records in League One last season, Blues often created far too few chances. And it remains to be seen how Davies and those players retained from last season deal with a period of adversity. Who's a player to look out for this season who could be a difference-maker? For all the new signings, the talisman will remain Stansfield. Selfless, hard-working and talented, the England U21 international is capable of putting the team on his shoulders and has a special relationship with the Blues supporters. Aaron and Jobi's prediction: Eighth |

Birmingham City have signed German international forward Marvin Ducksch from Werder Bremen for an undisclosed fee on a three-year deal.
The 31-year-old becomes Blues' ninth signing so far this summer and moves in time to make his debut for the club against Ipswich Town in their Championship opener tomorrow night. A product of the Borussia Dortmund academy, Ducksch was handed his first-team debut by Jurgen Klopp and has had spells at St Pauli, Holstein Kiel, Fortuna Dusseldorf and Hannover before moving in 2021 to Werder Bremen, where he won promotion to the top flight in his debut season. After scoring for Bremen in consecutive matches against Union Berlin, Eintracht Frankfurt and Wolfsburg, Ducksch gained the attention of head coach Julian Nagelsmann and was selected for Germany in friendly matches against Turkey and Austria in November 2023. He scored a total of 32 goals in his three Bundesliga campaigns with Werder Bremen and has amassed 156 career goals to date, most of which have come in the lower divisions in Germany. Duscksch joins the likes of Tommy Doyle, Demarai Gray and Kyogo Furuhashi as part of Chris Davies' new-look squad at St Andrew's this summer. "I am very happy that I am here now. I can't wait to be with the team and be on the pitch," Ducksch told Birmingham's club website., external "It's a big club. It's a new challenge for me. The idea and the plan that the club have was the same idea that I have." |
