Spurs star's move is starting to frustrate Scot

Football FanCast brings you the days breaking stories

Birmingham City manager Alex McLeish is growing frustrated in his attempts to sign out-of-favour Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng on loan.

The 21-year-old Germany Under-21 international has not even been handed a squad number with Spurs this season, but seems reluctant to try his luck at St Andrew's.

McLeish told the Birmingham Mail: "I was hoping I would have met with him this week but he's been in Germany and I'm waiting to hear the next step.

"But if he's unsure about it then we'll just leave it. There's a deal there to be done. If I gave it the green light then we could do it.

"But I need to look the player in the face and see if he wants to come and resurrect his career, because we can help him. He'd be coming to a big club.

"It might be the Championship and some players don't fancy dropping down but, believe me, this is a division that would help him in his mentality and he could bring his own quality to it."

Will Spurs ever be able to ship him out of the club?

Don't listen Brum fans, we Spurs fans are too quick to judge certain players due to our constant squad turnover. He's not played enough for us to judge him yet (about 17 times I think?!), though Ramos clearly doesn't like him - probably cos he doesn't dig his fiesty attitude. Think the stats show we won more with him in the side than without, but he's no sheep unlike Mr 4-year new deal Zokora, who sucks. He came with kudos so this loan deal could be good for both clubs. Good luck for the season.
