Birmingham City's Sebastian Larsson (right) and Kevin Phillips after the final whistle of the 5-0 defeat at Liverpool last month.

Swedish winger Sebastian Larsson, veteran striker Kevin Phillips and midfielder Lee Bowyer have all left relegated Blues at the end of their contracts.

We look back at the players’ time at Birmingham City with a selection of photos.

    Better get in and sign K Phillips as a precaution, as he is likely to turn up somewhere else and score important goals against Wolves.

    Phillips has done us so much damage down the years. But do you remember that unbelievably good chance he missed at Molineux earlier this season……… if that had gone in…… my god I don’t want to even think about it !

    Kevin Phillips? Great pro’. He would improve a dressing room anywhere.
    He will be looking at The Championship and want to remain based at his Midlands home. A good addition at Derby, Nottingham or Leicester, I would have thought. Or even Coventry. He will score goals for another season at this level.

    He has done us enough damage down the years – reckon he owes us a few in return now – and would be a good signing as a quality striker to come off the bench. Just one year would do ;-) Up the Wolves

    I dont know why Blues didnt keep Phillips
    cause they could then have brought
    Ishmael Miller off us and reformed that
    awsome partnership.Gianni Zuiverloon would
    also of been very decent for Blues to replace
    the ageing Stephen Carr.

    Forget Phillips. His dislike for anything Wolves is well known. Personally seeing the smile wiped off his face was an added bonus last Sunday. We really are not that desperate!!
