Re: Inside Birmingham City: How Davies plans to evolve team in Championship

Davies hopes that Kyogo can bring what May did and more. "He is in the Alfie mode, a real finisher with both feet around the box." And they plan to bolster the squad with a superior target man too having lost Jutkiewicz. "I like having different types," he says.

"I want three types of striker to choose from. Having a bigger one, that can be a good option to go over the press or attack crosses at certain stages of a game." It is an indication that Davies has given much thought to how he will need to tweak things.
