A statement on Birmingham's website confirmed the offer had been agreed for the 28-year-old former England player, who is now discussing personal terms. Wigan manager Paul Jewell also inquired about signing Robbie Savage, 31, from Blackburn but was told the Wales midfielder was not for sale. Jewell said the club were targeting "top Premiership performers". Wigan are desperate to land a proven striker after selling Jason Roberts to Blackburn for Ł3m and missing out in the chase for Andrew Johnson, who joined Everton from Crystal Palace in May. Their previous record transfer fee was the Ł3.1m paid to Wolves for Henri Camara last summer. Jewell said: "Emile is a proven performer at Premiership and international level and we have made what we consider to be a very good offer to Birmingham City. "It is not normal for this club to comment on targets until the player has signed but in this instance it's an open secret that we've made the bid. "I think he's a player who could do very well for us but we'll see how the situation develops. "I'm still very confident we will get the five or six new players we want by the beginning of the season." A lot of money on the table there, it shows Wigan are still comitted to pushing forward but wil it pay off?

Let's see what you could have won... Posts: 2,211 Group: Wycombe Wanderers Member #63 Joined: December 12, 2005	JonDaly Jul 8 2006, 03:07 PM I think Heskey could still come good. He was a cracking player at Leicester and had 1 good 20 goal season at LPool Just needs the right manager to get the best out of him he just seems to fall over too easily for someone who looks physically strong.

Just because a player plays good for one team or bad for one team does not mean he will play like that for a different team. I myself don't rate Heskey though.
