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. Alex McLeish has already added to his squad with Nikola Zigic, Ben Foster and Enric Valles arriving at St Andrews for next season.But the Blues boss still wants to bolster his strikeforce and the club had a £6million bid for Cottagers hitman Zamora rejected last month.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."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."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."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.
