I wonder if Thomas was holding this one up?

I am delighted we have managed to get the signing of Tony over the line, it seems like we have been waiting a long time.

me too, plus my head has exploded.

Which one?

Hes got Tudgays old jacket.

Now you've fucked it!

Tricky Tony in the 10!!
What we've needed.
Mark Robins, Tommy Widdrington take a bow!

 

[fernandopartridge]

On paper this looks like our marquee signing. His strike record from midfield is phenomenal and better than a lot of strikers.

SHFWF unfortunately.

If you consider that our squad needs 22 players, two for each position, then we are getting VERY near now:

GK - LOB, Burge (RCC seems to be on the way out)

RB - Grimmer, DKE
CB - McDonald, Willis, Hyam, Pearson
LB - Haynes, Stokes

AM/Wing - Jones, Vincenti, Andreu, Nazon
CM - Stevenson, Doyle, Kelly

CF/striker - Beavon, McNulty, Thomas, Biamou

OK so there are a few here who can play in different positions e.g. Stokes, Nazon, Biamou, but you do get the picture. I've left off the kids like Ponti, Shipley, Devon as am only counting experienced pros for the main first team squad with academy kids like that as additional emergency cover for our first team squad.

On that basis we need a CM and arguable another RB (given the DKE is still very youthful and Grimmer seems questionable), other than it seems like the recruitment job is done (for now). 12 new signings, take a bow MR. Now let's hope that the quantity also has quality!

I think we already have most bases covered. I'm sure Vincenti's first position is CM who can play RM/RB (unsure on RB exactly) so I imagine if Doyle or Kelly can't play he'll slot in there, plus Stevenson, Maycock and Shipley. I think we're covered here. I think our youngsters compliment the squad well enough to do a solid job if called upon in this league.

I think if we were to sign 1-2 more players, I'd probably snatch a winger, CB or possibly a striker if we're struggling for goals in the coming games.

I have been impressed with Robin's recruitment this summer and I do think all our bases are covered. It's worth noting MR has to keep this whole squad happy too.

in keeping with the general tone of the board this week and to keep CC4L happy I'd like to thank Tony Mowbray for a great bit of business.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Hes got Tudgays old jacket.

Let's hope he don't catch Tudgay-itis from it

I just did a normal one.

It was still in your pants though.

 

[vow]

Right, la, I'm getting my 'League One Tour 18/19' t-shirt printed now.


Which one?

Both, it's gotten a bit messi....

 

[Otis]

Some praise surely here for the Coventry City board. 12 signings and we have been pretty happy with all of them when announced.

Credit where credit's due.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Guys.....guys....I think we've lost Otis. He's talking to himself in quotes now...

I'd say Widdrington has played a key role.

No. We are self sufficient. The boards got nothing to do with this.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Fair comment Hill83. As Nick says, looks like Widdrington has been key since he's arrived. And Robins, obvs.

Oh, and Big Tone.

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

Somebody hold me!

 

[fatso]

Now all we want is a big dominant centre forward, please MR!

 

[skybluedan]

I may have just done some sex-wee in my pants.

Yeah I leaked a bit of love piss too

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

And cb

Do you know what I've loved about this Summers transfer dealings...that they've been done in the background with no bollocks in the press weeks in advance, which would potentially scupper any deals.

MR and TW have gone about their business and we've only found out about the signings, once they've actually happened.

Bloody refreshing and I'm loving it.

This is from my Dundee United supporting mate.


You've done well there. Best player last season by far. Just lost a little at the end as he was carrying the bus. We've still got the Edge and he is hopeless. Two left feet. Just got beat by Dundee last night so not on a a high. Anyway Andreu will bring the less talented lads into the game if the manager uses him right. Fingers crossed for the season Chris

Possible outcome of the club fucking the telegraph off?

Don't let SBK hear you criticising the Edge

Love a correlation.

Can't disagree that it brilliant when a manager sets his stall and knows what he wants and works to build his team.
If he fails it's on his terms but I do feel that Robins is a leader and has been clear in his vision. With him in charge I can see some of the clouds have already dispersed and hopefully will disappear.

Looking forward to winning 16-0 on Saturday and by at least 4 every game after that

We got anymore info on him?
Can he take a free kick?

Yeah, it will be like a clever pupil moved up and put in for his GCSE's at the age of 11.
