Bruce takes tough line on Savage transfer request

THE Robbie Savage saga rumbles on with Birmingham manager Steve Bruce hitting out at his wantaway midfielder.

Savage has attracted interest from Blackburn and has handed in a transfer request but Birmingham will not let him go unless Rovers meet their valuation.

Wales international Savage insists he wants to move closer to his family in Wrexham but Bruce thinks the financial terms on offer at Blackburn may also be behind his decision.
