Bruce Expecting Competition For Striker Signing

Last updated : 10 March 2005 By Brian Cartlidge

Pandiani, who is on loan from Deportivo La Coruna for the remainder of this season, has become a big favourite amongst Blues fans with his never-say-die attitude and Bruce has reassured fans that the club will be doing everything they can to keep him at St Andrew's.

"Of course a lot of clubs are interested in him. He's a quality player with a proven pedigree," Bruce has said.

"But at the moment he's ours and, as I've said before, we'd love to keep him."

Media reports this week have suggested that Newcastle, Charlton and Blackburn have all registered an interest in the Uruguayan striker.
