Birmingham boss McLeish: Man City keeper Hart could sign outright
Birmingham City boss Alex McLeish says there's every chance of turning the loan of Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart into a permanent signing.
“Do we have a chance of signing him? It’s possible,” said the Blues manager.
“But I don’t think we have discussed that at this moment. I don’t think there’s anything in the deal that says ‘if things go according to plan’.
“Maybe if he comes, competes with Maik Taylor, gets in and does brilliant then he’s probably going to be in England’s plans for the World Cup and I would think Man City would want to keep an asset like that.”
But Hart surely wouldn’t want to return to Eastlands to find he remains second choice?
“No,” agreed McLeish. “The only way he could probably go back would be as No.1.”

Liars, if Mark Hughes sells Hart i will personally make sure all City fans boycott any such move, its very easy to motivate a stand and i damn well know a majority will not want to see Hart go.
this will only happen if Birmingham can avoid getting relegated in the new season...
