Keita could be a mistake

Great Cheick was never given a real go in the team. What a shame.

Keita should have been given a decent chance.

What do we think?
Stockdale is 34-years-old and has been on loan at Wycombe Wanderers since January. With that in mind, the news of his departure may not surprise many Blues fans.
However, considering that 24-year-old Keita has made just 11 appearances for Birmingham since joining the club back in January 2017 for £1.53m, it may be understandable why some of these Birmingham fans would have liked to have seen more of him and have some concerns over whether or not this is a mistake from the club.
