Official January transfer window for CCFC (25 Viewers)

[Otis]

The latter never played for us in the Championship I wish the former hadn't

Oh yeah, it was the Premier wasn't it, but then that strengthens the case more. If Strachan can do it in the Premier and Wise and McAllister do it in the Championship, I see no reason why Cole can't succeed in League One.

Ryan Lowe, who we will come against tomorrow for Crewe, is 37 and Richie Wellens who played against us last week is 35.

Can't see why Joe Cole can't do a job for us at his age and he's a much better player than either of the two above.

So was Michael Owen a better player.

The problem probably is that cole like Owen started at 17. By 19 he was playing regular top flight football.

He looks burnt out. He really doesn't need 8 weeks to get fitness to compete and hasn't stood out in a game at all.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Definite improvement over the last 3 games that he started

It is a concern it's taken so long for him to get fit, but TM has said he wants to sign him permanently and if TM believes in him, then that's good enough for me. I trust his judgement.

And besides, Owen had a lot of injury problems and he was never the same player after the major injury he sustained.

Fantastic result today.

We know Kent is going back. After today what do we need?

Still think defence needs some armour and some more attacking options as cover.

I think attacking we are okay for now.

We need at least 2 CBs in. Need some of these trial players signed asap if they're good enough.

 

[higgs]

Who else is on trial with us at the moment other than ramage?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Forgot we have the Swedish guy. When is he back from injury?

 

[bawtryneal]

After watching Bigi on several occasions I don't think we should offer him a permanent contract. His passing is to erratic. This afternoon he nearly caused two goals.

Fortune, charged with impersonating a footballer

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Mowbray saying Bigi's loan will be extended until figures can be agreed...

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Think there will be some surprises but

Bigi, Cole - permanent would be excellent surely
Would be happy with a Ramage type player as back up for Ricketts, Martin
Dearly love Arma to stay for the year - TM didn't sound too hopeful - but does he about anything?

Who are the surprises do we think?

Meanwhile - Murphy, Maddison, Cole, Armstrong up front - oh my goodness!!

 

[shmmeee]

Forgot we have the Swedish guy. When is he back from injury?

Couple of weeks away apparently.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

What price Ighalo???

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

So rumours from Ryton is that TM is looking at defenders and midfielders in the transfer window.

Wants another attacking winger to replace Kent, Bigi on a perm. Remember Rose will be joining next week.

Elliot Ward is on the list of defenders but there are other CB targets ahead of him.

Reminder that Ramage is on trial and Lorentzon is back from injury soon.

 

[shmmeee]

Get Bigi and Rose in and DM looks well covered. Up top I'd like to see George Thomas get near the first team but we do need pace for when Murphy isn't on his game.

Defensively we need a CB, but beyond that I think we are OK once Lorentzson is fit.

 

[shmmeee]

Weird he wants to replace Kent when Kent was a replacement for Madders.

Rose got married in the USA yesterday, honeymoon in coventry?

 

[Otis]

Rose got married in the USA yesterday, honeymoon in coventry?

Yeah at the Britannia, with no photos outside the hotel.

 

[shmmeee]

Rose got married in the USA yesterday, honeymoon in coventry?

I wonder if that's so his wife can come with him back to the UK. (Obviously I'm sure they're in love, I just mean the timing)

Plenty of cover in job & Lam!

Other areas covered first please TM.

 

[covcity4life]

Weird he wants to replace Kent when Kent was a replacement for Madders.

He proved to be different though. Was a replacement in number only

He always played wide and Maddison plays in middle. We have madz cole and Murphy for number 10

But out wide we only have JMurphy with pace

Lameires cole and Obrien with trickery or workrate

I will be chuft if TM brings some pace in for the wings to replace kent.we cannot leavw anything to chance this season. Let's cover all bases

 

[oakey]

I will be amazed if TM doesn't bring in 2 more defenders on top of what is already here.

 

[covcity4life]

We have lorentzken to come yet so rb we have 3 options

So with willis back in feb I would say we need 1 cb

1 fast winger to replace Kent

Nothibg in cm if we keep Bigi . We have rose too of course plus Thomas and vincelot.

And 1 striker as back up for arma I guess. A Dominic Samuel perhaps

I think Rcc is one of best keepers in league 1 so happy to continue with him and burge.

Looks like we are just 2 or 3 signings away from a complete squad. Exciting

I get the impression TM thinks less in terms of position and more in terms of qualities they bring to the side, in that respect Kent was our replacement for someone with a bit of skill who can go past a man and take him out the game.

I'd agree that some pace would be nice though, just worry about holding back Lameiras and G Thomas who I think deserve to be around the squad, not to mention JOB who would be the first name on my team sheet each week.

How about another quick striker? That'd do the job, no?

 

[shmmeee]

I will be amazed if TM doesn't bring in 2 more defenders on top of what is already here.

If Willis is back in Feb, it'd be a waste. 1 CB is all we need IMO, maybe a short term loan a la Turner to plug the gap until then.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

The links so far have been (may not be reliable just what I've seen):

Unlikely:
Reuben Reid (not got the money they would want)

Sean St Ledger (recently signed a new contract with his MLS team)

Jay Simpson (would want a decent fee and pretty poor goal scoring record at a higher level)

Possible:

Carlos Moreira, Hereford youngster, attacking midfielder. Was on trial a few months back (http://m.herefordtimes.com/sport/11...players_attracting_attention_of_clubs/?ref=mr)

Jack Munns, Cheltenham midfielder, 22 years old, 8 goals and 11 assists so far. Was at Tottenham so possibly been reccomended like Lameiras was.

 

[mrtrench]

That story on Moreira is nearly a year old. I think we can assume that he didn't pass the trial.

It actually says we wanted to sign him but his education needs to be sorted. However it's been a while now so I presume he won't be signing

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

http://m.nuneaton-news.co.uk/Foxes-sniffing-Boro-bargains/story-28458313-detail/story.html

Peterborough taking Nuneaton striker Aaron Williams on trial. I said we should take a look at him a few months back and obviously Peterborough know a decent non league player when they see one

 

[covcity4life]

g thomas is 1 for future it seems from every mowbray interview. but also a guy TM rates. if we dont replace kent he will probably get a few more run outs this seasn

as for ST-we have sambou worse comes to worse i guess.

 

[ccfc_Tom]

Mowbray's just revealed armstrong deal isn't even done yet :/ fingers crossed

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Mustapha Carayol sent back to Boro by Huddersfield. I know Mowbray said he was out of our reach originally but with the increased attendances we might have a chance of getting him.

 

[rupert_bear]

Mowbray's just revealed armstrong deal isn't even done yet :/ fingers crossed

Cisse is injured out 3 months apparently there are calls up Geordie land to get AA back. Fingers crossed

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Just revealed? He said the same Saturday
