McBride staying with Fulham

Last week word broke that Champions League's Birmingham was interesting in signing Brian McBride away from Fulham for £1 million. However, Fulham made it clear that they are not interested.

From their website: 'Following recent press speculation regarding other clubs' interest in Brian McBride, the club would like to make it clear that no offer for Brian has been accepted and that he is very much part of (manager) Chris Coleman's plans for next season.

'Brian, along with the rest of the World Cup participants, will join the rest of the squad for training this week.'

I think McBride would do well in Birmingham, but I still think he is better served being in the Premiership for another year or two.
