Birmingham City transfer audit: The risk, the obvious signing and a January gamble worth taking

Birmingham Live's Alex Dicken evaluates Birmingham City's squad depth, arguing that manager Chris Davies may need to target a proven striker and additional defensive cover in January. While praising the club's wide options after signing Liam Millar on loan from Hull City, Dicken identifies centre-back depth and the attacking positions as key areas of concern.

Dicken highlights that the squad currently relies on only three senior central defenders and missed out on signing attacking midfielder Joe Gelhardt. He suggests that if Blues remain in promotion contention, investing in an established number nine could provide the necessary firepower to achieve Davies' target of 70 league goals.
