At Swindon according to Sky, made me chuckle a bit, fair play to him though.

We must have had at least 7 "John Thomas's" late last season.We have too many Thomas's... it would have been confusing.
Not sure what's funny? There's a good player in there, suffered a major lack of confidence and suffered with injuries. Needed a move away from here to re-ignite his career. Good luck to him.

"Good luck to him, he'll probably have a decent season with them without the expectation we put on him here."
As long as they dont expect him to play more than 1/3rd of the season and plays like he hasnt kicked a ball in anger for 5 years he will be fine. Fair play to the lad he has found a fresh start but there are better players in our squad to warrant a wage.

Good luck to him of course. Don't have anything against him but he was truely awful so let's wish him well but no good for us.

I would have offered him a new deal before Fleck, the expectation was too high I thought from all the talk when he was coming through that he was the same sort of player as Gerrard.
Hope he does OK in every game but against us.
Must have a good agent though as he gets him long term deals every time.

Great news for Conor. I hope this is the kickstart that gets his career going because it was going nowhere fast with us. He does have talent but with the rejection from Liverpool, relegation from the Championship then falling down the pecking order in the squad his confidence took a massive hit which we all could see in his gameplay. Typical example of Coventry putting too much weight on young shoulders. May this be a lesson in the future that relying on talent from our academy can have lasting negative effects on the graduates. Although considering we won't have an academy by the end of this season we won't have to worry about that for long

He's a natural athlete who didn't fulfil his potential with us. Good luck to him.

He will probably be injured by then

He was on a fortune here. An informed source told me 3k per week basic, which for a player who did very little for years is an extravagence we couldn't afford.

Was the highest earner as he agreed a new contract in the championship relegation season. Approx 4K per week. Apparently no player at CCFC will be on more than 1.5K a week from this season....

He has been on trial at Swindon so they have seen him in training. Last year was a disaster for him with unfortunate injuries. He has played over a hundred games for city and is still only 22. Most players best years are 25-30. So he could be a good deal for Swindon. I think he needs a clean slate and a fresh challenge. He joined City when he was 7.
Good luck to him.

We never had a choice but to play him, because Pressley kept fucking up every signing he made then bombed them...

But he still has the experience of a hundred games. Why are you so bitter about two people who have left the club? I would also say you have misjudged both.

If there is talent in there its been buried pretty deep for a while. No goal threat, no presence, a reasonable passer of the ball. I'll never forget his 4 yard miss against his now employers when they spanked us at home a couple of seasons ago . Seems a nice lad. Good luck to him.
