Birmingham Sign Muamba


Birmingham City have completed the permanent transfer of teenage midfielder, Fabrice Muamba. The England youth international is highly rated by Blues boss Steve Bruce: "This is a great signing for us and I'm absolutely delighted that Fabrice has agreed to join us. When he first arrived here I said he would be a big, big player for us and a crowd favourite, and as the season went on that was exactly what he proved to be." Muamba has signed for an undisclosed fee, believed to be around £2 million. Arsene Wenger felt that it was the best for him: "He is a highly-rated player but he has a lot of competition and he is in a position that if he comes back straight away it will be very hard for him to play." I am sad to see him go, but Mr Wenger has a point. So Best Wishes to Fabrice in what should be a brilliant career at St Andrews.
