Mystery tonight surrounded a reported move by Everton for Blues' Robbie Savage. Speaking to Colin Tattum of the Evening Mail Steve Bruce insisted "I did speak to David Moyes a few days before we came out here, but Robbie wasn't mentioned in the conversation," Intriguingly, Everton were Blues' rivals for Savage's signature a year ago following Leicester City's relegation but could then not afford the initial £1.2million fee and wages. | |
Now Moyes is in a position to spend and strengthen his midfield, which could be hit by the loss of Li Tie. He has already failed in a bid to sign Fulham's Sean Davis and was also linked with new Blues recruit David Dunn before his record £5.5million switch from Blackburn Rovers to St Andrew's. Though Bruce is looking for Savage and Dunn to form a strong alliance in his midfield this season if Moyes does decide to test Blues' resolve with a large bid it would be a big decision for Bruce to make, especially with Aliou Cisse's future so unclear. |
