Birmingham missed out on Cacau
Soccer Betting Lines
05/13/2010 -
Birmingham, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Birmingham City manager Alex McLeish
has confirmed his club missed out on the signing of Stuttgart's Brazilian-born
German striker Cacau.
The 29-year-old seemed certain to leave the Bundesliga club this summer,
before changing his mind and penning a new contract with his current club.
McLeish confirmed: "We did miss out on Cacau. We thought we had it in the bag
and he did an about turn.
"The irony was when we declared our interest in him, he was out of the team.
"I don't know whether our interest in him gave him a lot more confidence,
because he then went on a scoring burst and Stuttgart said there was no way
they could let him go with what it would cost to replace somebody like that.
"He is one that got away. It would have been a coup for us, the type of player
for the jigsaw I am trying to put together, but we will keep working to
strengthen the squad."
