    :D
    Striker Christian Benitez has left Birmingham after the club opted not to take up the option to sign the Ecuadorian on a permanent deal.

    The 24-year-old arrived on a season-long loan deal from Mexican side Santos Laguna in July last year, with a fee to sign the striker written into the deal.

    But despite making 36 appearances for the Blues, he managed just four goals.

    And manager Alex McLeish has decided to release the player, known as "Chucho", to return to Santos.

    I thought he looked decent aswell. Pacey and aggressive. He did have a big asking price though.

    It's a pity he couldn't find more goals. Chucho is a player with plenty of raw talent.

    Will be sorely missed esp with those erratic runs at defence that usually ended with the ball in row z.
