<\/p>\nBirmingham City signed Jhon Solis on loan from Girona during the January transfer window<\/p>\n
Birmingham City’s Jhon Solis<\/p>\n
Chris Davies has only needed to watch 146 minutes of Jhon Solis<\/a> in the Championship to know that Birmingham City<\/a> have found a player with all the attributes to succeed in English football.<\/p>\n Solis impressed in two substitute appearances versus Sheffield Wednesday and Stoke before Davies trusted him to partner Paik Seung-ho<\/a> in midfield at Oxford last weekend.<\/p>\n The Colombian enforcer produced a commanding Man of the Match display<\/a> to win tackles and move his team up the field with incisive passing.<\/p>\n FOLLOW ON FACEBOOK! <\/strong>All the latest Blues news on Birmingham Live\u2019s Birmingham City FC Facebook page<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Signed from Spanish side Girona, who are Manchester City\u2019s sister club, there were few doubts in Davies\u2019 mind that Solis would suit Blues\u2019 possession-based style.<\/p>\n \u201cHe can play,\u201d says Davies.<\/a> \u201cHe\u2019s come from Girona so he\u2019s got a really good understanding of build-up play, possession play.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s really up to speed with a lot of the concepts around his position and his body-shape, how to play and how it works.<\/p>\n \u201cLike all young players, it\u2019s very rare to find one who is consistent because they are up there one week and the next week it might look different, so we have to bear that in mind.<\/p>\n \u201cMy job is to keep developing him, improving him and educating him as we go along because he\u2019s still a player that is owned by the City Group. They have a desire for him to come here and improve, and get game-time.<\/p>\n \u201cAs I said to them, I hope he helps us become a better team and a more successful club. It works for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n Paik and Tommy Doyle are good on the ball, Solis\u2019s unique selling point is his physicality and frame.<\/p>\n The 6ft 1in midfielder has added size and power to Blues\u2019 engine room and they looked better for it at the Kassam Stadium last weekend.<\/p>\n Davies added: \u201cI\u2019ve been impressed with him. The physical side of English football will suit him because he\u2019s got legs, he\u2019s got strength, he\u2019s happy to put his foot in and he\u2019ll win his headers. Those off-the-ball bits, he\u2019s got all that.<\/p>\n \u201cI like the qualities he has. He\u2019s definitely not one of those where you wonder if he\u2019s quite right for England, he\u2019s got the raw materials to be a success here.\u201d<\/p>\n Get the latest Blues headlines sent straight to your phone<\/p>\n BirminghamLive has its very own Birmingham City<\/a> WhatsApp community to deliver the latest headlines straight to your phone.
