Forssell Leaves Brum For Hannover
Hannover have confirmed the signing of Mikael Forssell from Birmingham
City...
Mikael Forssell has left Alex McLeish's relegated Birmingham to sign a
three-year deal with Bundesliga outfit Hannover 96.
Now-Championship side Birmingham were keen to keep the 27-year-old Finn at
St Andrew's, but his contract was due to expire in June.
Hannover's sporting director Christian Hochstatter told the club's official
website: "We are very happy that we could persuade Mikael to join."
Striker Forssell added: "I am looking forward to playing for Hannover and in
the Bundesliga."
Unleash McLeish
Blues boss McLeish feels that the club has enough firepower to survive
sans-Forssell, adding: "We have good strikers here already.
"Cameron Jerome can look back at his first season in the Premier League and
say he did well, but there's definitely a chance for him to really shine and
get back to the Premier League and show what a potent force he can become.
"With Garry O'Connor - although I believe he still has to win over the
fans - he can use his left foot, right foot, he's quick enough and he's good
in the air but he's got to come back with all guns blazing."
James McFadden, meanwhile, has only been at the club since January, yet
rumours are circulating that he doesn't intend to play in the second tier.
Big Eck, though, is sure his Scottish countryman is up for the challenge of
gunning the side back into the Premiership.
"McFadden, of course, was on fire before his injury and it was a shame to
lose him at such a critical time at the end of the season," McLeish said.
"But as far I'm concerned he's definitely staying. It would need to be a
ridiculous offer and an offer that would enable me to bring in somebody as
good or better."
