 Chops Not Worried by Championship's Big SpendersSat 21st Jul 2012 16:24 by TWTD.co.uk Striker Michael Chopra believes Town will be capable of competing in the Championship, despite a number of other clubs splashing or likely to splash rather more cash this summer. The Blues have added only right-back Elliott Hewitt from Macclesfield for an initial £250,000 and keeper Scott Loach from Watford for £150,000 for fees, while Luke Chambers came in on a Bosman free transfer from Nottingham Forest. The Blues frontman welcomes the additional expenditure elsewhere in the division: “The teams that have come down and Nottingham Forest, who have been taken over, and Sheffield Wednesday, they’re spending big money, they’re after players like Joey Barton at the minute. “It’s only good for the Championship. I’m like any other player - you want to be playing at the highest level. “And if you can’t be playing at the highest level, you want to be playing against the next best players and all these good players are coming into the Championship now and you want to do well [against them], and hopefully we can.†But despite more cash being spent elsewhere, Chopra is confident the Blues are assembling a decent squad: “You don’t need to spend big money on players. You look at the players we’ve got in the team, not many of them have come in for big amounts of money. “Chambo, who we’ve just signed from Forest, he could have gone up to the Premiership, a lot of clubs were interested in him but we managed to take him. “He’s a good addition to the squad, he’s a good player, and hopefully the manager can get a few more.†Story syndicated from TWTD.co.uk
