Devlin: Blues don't need Zamora
Former Birmingham star Paul Devlin doesn't want Blues to sign Fulham striker Bobby Zamora, saying they need an "18-yard box player" instead.[LNB] Alex McLeish has already added to his squad with Nikola Zigic, Ben Foster and Enric Valles arriving at St Andrews for next season.[LNB]But the Blues boss still wants to bolster his strikeforce and the club had a £6million bid for Cottagers hitman Zamora rejected last month.[LNB]Devlin, who scored 38 goals for Blues, thinks Blues need a different sort of player to Zamora, saying: "Bobby's had his best season ever last year for Fulham, but he's not the type of forward I would be going after.[LNB]"Zamora's played a lot of Premier League football and I saw Blues linked with Carlton Cole as well, but both are very similar to Cameron Jerome.[LNB]"Blues need a different type of forward, somebody who would nick a goal out of nothing not someone big, strong, powerful and quick, who's going to bustle people over.[LNB]"They need somebody who, when the ball bounces in the box from a corner, he's there to tap it in - a real 18-yard box player," he told the Express & Star.
