Wigan boss Steve Bruce wants to sign ex-Arsenal midfielder Fabrice Muamba from Birmingham in a £5m deal but his old club may be reluctant to sell to their former manager.

The Congo-born midfielder was initially on loan at St Andrews before a permanent £4m move in May 2007.

He made two appearances for the Gunners in the League Cup

Put a 15 million price tag on his head, just to discourage the pie eaters.

After the season he has had, he must be worth more than £5m.

I'd tell them where to go. Even if we go down, he's not a high earner and in 2 years time will be worth double that. He would be a great asset to have in any league, he proved that last season and this one.

I don't think we would sell him, I hope not anyway.

There was also another article yesterday in the people about this saying that Bruce's contacts were confident that Muamba would want to leave Brum and team up with him at Wigwam.

Now lets be honest if Koumas is worth 5mil and Michael Brown is worth 3mil.

Then Muamba a regular first team prem player who is a current ENGLAND U21 must be worth at least 10mil.

Also did you see the piece in The People about Welshburn wanting Ridgewell and preparing a 3mil bid.

What is it with the press always linking ex staff of our club constantly being linked with our players.

Can't see why any player would want to leave to team up with Bruce after playing under a manager like Mcleish tbh. This is why we have to stay up, get the parasites to stay away.
Does Bruce's new scouting system stretch anywhere other than Blues and the Honduras? :blink:

i'd sell him for about 5million and th more of these players he buys off us the better they will realy struggle next season.

ones i would turn down are larsson, kelly, if they made bids for them the rest can go because mcleish will be able to bring in better.

Wigwam might be slightly higher than us in the league but if Muamba left it would be a backward step.

I think we should keep him, but i really wish we had signed a CM in January, as Jonty and Muamba haven't been as good as Nafti this season for me, and only one DM should fit in there.

It's not what would we do - it's what will the Board do? Lets see, we paid £4m for him. Wigan offer £5m. That's £1m profit. Sold. That's the way our owners look at this club. Make a profit whenever you can. They'll view Muamba as a decent bit of business.

id tend to agree but id more than likely say blues will squeeze 6m for him before they'd sell...then we'd get the repeat statement of "the player wanted to move so we didnt stand in there way"...the board if thy had any ambition would keep every one of our young up and comers could they could be worth there wait in gold for promotion..while i could stomache losing muamba (just) more worried that we'd lose a future blues legend in larsson...his a future captain if he learns to be vocal

Going down would be so sad as i think we would have a great year in the prem if we stayed up.

We have a good squad in the making

The only thing that would stop that would be the board not spending enough money.... :ph43r:

But the club should look at it like this:

We sell our heartbeat - We won't get promoted - We don't ge tthe extra 30 milion - We are a championship club -

Sounds a bit extreme but could happen - we went down without our heartbeat at the time ($av), and it could easily happen again.


Seb MUST be kept
Muamba MUST be kept
Kapo MUST be kept
Nafti MUST be kept
Kelly MUST be kept
Jerome MUST be kept
Forssell MUST be kept

P*** off Bruce, I would be insulted with an offer like that. He's worth practically double that amount.
