    Birmingham City are loaded but it seem to be going straight for promotion. But also an SPL dumping ground, Dykes, Davies, Wright, Iwata.

    So you are kind of comparing brown and Iwata? I get ye though I definitely thought at the start of last season Iwata deserved more game time but then tbh the more I saw of him I thought he was quite limited on the ball. Picked up good positions defensively etc but was too casual on the ball took too much time and slowed down attacks and lost possession too easy. Think it’s definitely best he moves on as there’s a good few ahead of him

    Very average at best. Not so bothered as Holm might have the potential game.

    We must be confident of getting someone else other than Engels in if we're allowing this. Still a bit odd.

    If he leaves, good luck to him. Always gave 100%.

    Came in and quietly did a job. Wasn't the success I was hoping he'd be but certainly not a player I'd throw in the dud category. Hope he does well in England.

    Happy to see him go, as a player.
    But with the (positive) amount of deadwood we've shifted, I'm not sure we can afford to let Iwata go. There is a fear we are suddenly going to be left short.

    But good luck to the lad if he does move on. Never let us down when called upon.

    Thought he looked good in the cameos he had. Reckon he'll look like Makelele reincarnate in that league :giggle1:

    Birmingham not messing around by the looks of it. Think Iwata will be great for them and hope it works out for him

    Sorry to see him gone. Always felt he had more than we saw. But if going good it's a permanent move.

    Hope he does well.

    Hope it works out for him, was underrated by many and often underused. All the best.

    OK...didn't think he would leave on a permanent deal.

    Makes sense. Hopefully got a decent fee. Wish him all the best. Solid enough, just not physical or dynamic enough for us I guess.

    Good luck to him, should definitely do well in League One if the likes of Lawal tore it up there.

    Was barely involved but never complained or moaned. Another good professional.
