Birmingham City today announced that transfer flop Diego Fabbrini had left the club after having his contract cancelled by mutual consent. 

He has joined Romanian Liga 1 side FC Botosani after failing to score in all 28 games he played for the Blues during his time at the club.

The Italian joined the Blues in January 2016  but has since had loan spells at Spezia Calcio and Real Oviedo.

He also failed to score in 35 combined appearances for both of those clubs as well, showing he is far from a goal machine.

But the forward did suffer a serious cruciate knee ligament in his first week of training whilst with Real Oviedo back in 2017 which kept him out of action for some time before returning to Birmingham this June.

So is this a good move for the player? Will Birmingham live to regret it?

We discuss...

Gary Hutchinson 

Fabbrini has been frozen out at St Andrew's more or less the entire time he's been there.

I thought maybe they'd bring him back into the fold, after all they surely need all the quality they can get.

Instead, he's packed off to Romania and unlikely to come back.

Sam Rourke 

This was definitely the right move.

Fabbrini clearly doesn't fit into Garry Monk's plans at Birmingham, and his style of play isn't suited to the way the Blues operate.

It was inevitable he'd depart St Andrew's.

I can't imagine he'll be missed all that much.

Jay Taylor 

Good move for the player.

Diego Fabbrini was never going to feature under Garry Monk having been out on loan last season.

At 28, he still has enough in the tank to play regularly and that was not forthcoming at St. Andrews so a move was inevitable.

A loan away did not materialise so the obvious next step was mutual termination.

The players gets a move back to the continent, and Birmingham trim the wage bill a little bit more.
