With Man Cith about to sign Benjani, the emergence of Sturridge, Castillo and Bojinov back in a few weeks (and not forgetting Vassell) I would be surprised if Evans was not still  here at the end of the season...   

Don''t get me wrong as I am glad that Roeder has brought in these loans given the current market and our situation, however I do not want us turned into an Academy for either England or the established Premiership clubs... this only works for us if we can turn some of these moves into permanent deals and that will depend not only on the players wanting to stay here but the Board backing the manager with the money

well said... Birmingham managed to pick up 2 of the young players they had successfully on loan from Arsenal - and if they aren''t any good we can give them back! Bertrand has already said that after playing in front of 25,000 he doesn''t want to go back to reserve team football... and whether they are loans or permanent I would prefer to be in our position than the many teams who haven''t managed to get anyone in - I can''t think of many players who are moving clubs permanently at the moment who I would have wanted us to pay a fee to bring in?
