B is for Birmingham and Burnley

Dear Santa,

Me and my Birmingham boys are playing pretty well at the moment, but we do need a couple of things to help us out. Like any small team, we are definitely a shallow squad. Without our key players, the team tends to collapse and leaves us wanting. Still, we are exceeding expectations right now and our form is pretty damn impressive. We're up there with Liverpool, for crying out loud. Anyway Santa, what we want is difficult: more of the same. We want our sparkling form to continue and that includes offense as well. We aren't scoring loads of goals, but we are keeping clean sheets like it's our job. I guess besides more of the same, we need a clinical striker. Someone who just plain puts goals in the net, but is within our price range. We may have to splash the cash, but I think I have the answer: John Carew is out of favor at Aston Villa and the rumor is that they're trying to get rid of him. I'd love it if we could snap him up for a cool 5 million. Your move, Santa.

Love,

Alex McLeish



Dear Santa,

We at Burnley are also doing much better than expected. Our form at home has seen us take some massive scalps. However, we have yet to win a game away from home. So that's what we want: an away win for the new year, and consistency on through. If you can give us that, we won't be relegated. We can then buy someone with the additional funds we plan to have, but Santa, I promise, we won't go into debt doing it. See? I'm a good little boy.

Love,

Owen Coyle
