Savage 'in turmoil' over future
Robbie Savage
Robbie Savage has admitted that he has been affected by speculation over his future - after Birmingham recently turned down a �2m bid from Blackburn.

"My head has been in turmoil in the past four or five weeks," the Wales international midfielder said.

"But Birmingham hold all the cards. I'm their player. Unless Blackburn come in with more money, that's the end of it.

"Equally, everyone has a price and if Blackburn come up with more money, then I suppose I'll be gone."

Savage starred in Tuesday's 3-2 win at Fulham, which was the Blues' fourth straight win.

He added: "Hopefully, it shows how professional I've been with the performances I'm still putting in.

"People said I was in crisis but I think I've answered my critics over the last four or five games."

However, he has hinted that he would like to move closer to his family in north Wales, as his father has been forced into early retirement through ill health, while his mother suffered a stroke.

"No matter whether I am at Wrexham, Birmingham or Blackburn, I just want to be close to my family. I want to do the best I can for my family," he said.

"You could not ask for a better group of lads to play with and the fans have been very good to me but it is hard living away from your family.

"I've had a few chats with the manager and, hopefully, it will be resolved soon."
