Alex McLeish pledge on signings
Jul 12 2008

ALEX McLeish has assured Blues’ supporters the club are pulling out all the stops to make the team better, not weaken it.
Bosman free transfers Lee Carsley and Kevin Phillips are impressive additions to the squad, which heads out to Tirol in Austria tomorrow for a pre-season training camp.
But McLeish has yet to pay a fee for a player, and has lost nine, including Mikael Forssell and Fabrice Muamba, while rumours continue to swirl around about the futures of James McFadden and Sebastian Larsson, not to mention Olivier Kapo, while Stephen Kelly is being eyed by Fulham.
“I would say to our supporters that whoever we have lost, we have tried to replace with quality,” McLeish stressed.
“I would also tell them that if anyone else goes, again it would be our intention to replace with quality.
“I am not saying people are definitely going to go.
What I am saying is that we want to start the new season with a better team than finished the last season, that last game against Blackburn Rovers. It’s my job as manager to do that, with the help of the board.”

Travelling with the group tomorrow is Zola Matumona, a Congo midfielder with FC Brussels, who made an impression when on trial towards the latter part of last season.
A diminutive ball player, the 26-year-old caught Blues’ eye with his speed and technique during a stay at Wast Hills and they have secured a longer look at him.
Matumona has had a rocky relationship with his Belgian club. He walked out in November 2007 after accusing chairman Johan Vermeersch of making racist remarks towards him.
The incident was patched up but FC Brussels lost their main sponsor Kia due to the rumpus.

Kapo, whose injured arm remains in a cast, is not going and neither is Franck Queudrue who, like Kapo, blotted his copybook by not returning for pre-season training on time.
Wigan Athletic are intensifying their efforts to sign Kapo, and Ryan Taylor has again been suggested in part-exchange.
As for Queudrue, his departure appears inevitable after McLeish took a strong line following his ill-discipline.
McLeish has also been linked with Derby County’s Stephen Pearson, but has kept publicly quiet on the transfer front.
Blues will be based in the village of Westendorf, near Kitzbuhel, and have their first game on Monday evening.
It will be a relatively low-key affair at their training base against Kirchberg, a local non-league outfit.

Merci, tu viens de me couper le souffle...

Je suis très content pour Matou. Enfin un championnat qui lui conviendra mieux pour faire parler son talent!!

La derniere fois que j'etais avec lui , il m'en a fait part et ce qui lui plaisait le plus c'etait de quitter au plus vite le milieu congolais à Matonge en me montrant du doigt à quelques mètres de lui quelques uns de ses compatriotes ( Lisasi et d'autres encore autour d'un nganda à Bruxelles ) ... je crois que dans un milieu plus restreint il se concentrerait mieux selon lui...

impressionnant ce matumona zola comme quoi pendant que les autres echouent de tests ..n impressionnent pas au tests , lui il impressionne quand meme et toujours . voila quelqu un qui a faim .en tout cas , ce sera une satisfaction en termes de transferts de nos internationaux si tout est concretise . you gotta taste the real meat , no more "frites"(junk food) or french baguette to make you sleep like a paresseux , because championship is as hard as the premiership but the difference lays on the level and quality of the game.

maintenant , concretise le contrat et surtout se battre pour une place de titulaire .au moins en angleterre il apprendra a ne pas tomber comme un frele moustique italien a la INZAGHI et a se bagarrer comme un veritable homme coup pour coup .

Selon un supporter , ROUM a du mal à supporter le voyage en avion. Mais les premieres impressions sont assez bonnes .Mais il doit convaincre lors de ce stage de pre-saison.Il doit aussi faire des effrorts pour apprendre l'anglais ,quand on sait qu'en francais aussi il doit fournir les memes efforts . La communication est tres importante sur un terrain de foot.

Bonne chance à lui.


Zola's not a high-flier

His bright yellow boots and diminutive size marks Zola Matumona out from the rest.

The Congolese trialist from FC Brussels has shown some nice touches in pre-season training.

He's obviously happy with a ball at his feet - far happier than he is flying.Blues supporter Martin Smallwood was chuffed when he found himself booked on the same flight to Munich as the Blues squad when they came out for their camp.

Matumona sat next to him and was absolute bag of nerves.

Martin, who is from Marston Green, recounts: " We didn't have much of a conversation because he speaks no English, and he was quite quiet.

"But as soon as we were about to take off he was shaking. He was absolutely petrified and when we got airborne he pulled his tracksuit top right over his head and stayed like that for ages. I felt sorry for him but I couldn't stop laughing!"
Smallwood, an 'unemployed property developer' who now lives in Warwick, is one of the few hardy souls who regularly makes a point of clearing a week in July to follow Blues abroad in pre-season.

And the 52-year-old, who acts as physio for the Blues Old Stars charity side, discovered by accident where they were working out.

"I was in my guest house having breakfast when this big group of people went past the window on their bikes. I had to look again and then I realised it was the whole team and staff, so I followed them to the training ground."

Roum à du mal en avion ? COmment il fait avec la selection depuis 3 ans déjà?
