I assume Cornerdon is on a wind up considering he lives in NZ. Tweeted saying he bumped into Dean and he's off to Birmingham..
Hmmm, i dont know about Cornerdon but I have also been told Birmingham from a usually reliable source. Dismissed it as unlikely when I was told but thats quite a coincidence.
I could see it having legs and wouldn't be a bad move for Dean. Birmingham are a big club who should not be in league 1. Its a good next step for a young player who has shown he is too good for league 2 but still needs to work on a few things if he is to reach his potential (which could be the very top). If the fee is fair and it is sorted quickly it would probably be good for all parties.
I have heard everyone from Burton and Birmingham to Stoke and Cardiff. It's safe to say that he will be gone by August and we will be left searching for another player to add to our long list of players we need to buy.
We're a league 2 club, get use to it. Really can't see the issue here.
We rejected bids for him in January. He's a 20 year old who has performed very well and we managed to hold on to him for the rest of the season. Definitely the right time for him to leave and for us to cash in. No club at this level is would be able to keep hold of Dean and most would have sold in January.
Agree with this.
Birmingham would be an interesting choice though - just been relegated. Have they had a clear out with the retained list? Dean is a very good long term prospect who will be playing at least in the Championship when he is 25.
I do think if I was his agent I would be encouraging him to move on.
