Birmingham Move for Fujimoto ‘Stalls’

In his final game with Gil Vicente, which ended in a 2-1 loss to Sporting Lisbon, Fuijmoto played the entire ninety minutes.
However, since then, he has missed two games for the Roosters, and rumors have it that he was dealing with a longer-term problem that delayed the move.

Davies is aware that Brum needs speed and strength in attacking areas, something they may not have needed in the previous campaign.
Key Statistic:

Brum went on to finish the season undefeated on their own turf, proving that their strategy was sound.
