City line up bids for former Liverpool star and Everton frontman
It has been widely speculated today that Birmingham City are to bid for Lyon striker Milan Baros and Everton forward James McFadden.
Baros has been linked with a move away from the French giants for some time with Man City and West Ham both apparently keen on the former Liverpool star. Baros joined Lyon earlier this year after spending two years with Aston Villa.
Since joining Lyon, Baros has scored six times in nineteen games. He has previously won the Golden Boot at the European Championships in 2004 and continues to impress with the Czech Republic.
McFadden has never really shown his true potential with Everton although he continues to perform immensely well with his national side Scotland (a bit like David Healy at Fulham).
He joined the Toffees back in 2003 but has only managed to score 10 times in over a 100 matched for the club. He has been linked with several other clubs in recent weeks including Celtic, Fulham and Wigan.
It is no surprise that Birmingham are after McFadden, what with the whole Scotland thing and Alex McLeish. The Baros link is a bit of a surprise and I feel they will be doing really well to convince him to join the club.
