Savage bid rejected

Last updated : 31 August 2003 By Brian Cartlidge

The Sunday papers were full of stories linking the Wales international with a move to Goodison before the transfer window closes on Monday evening and now Blues fans will be hoping that the estimated £2.5million bid being rejected will end David Moyes interest in Savage once and for all.

"The offer for Robbie was derisory both to the club and to the player, and has been rejected," Brady told the club's official site.

"We are delighted that Robbie Savage is with Birmingham City as he is a committed player and we hope he will continue to play an important part in our endeavours to succeed in the Premier League."

Music to most Blues fans ears - I'm sure you'll agree!
