I feel it in my bones that there will be some movement today...

Defender in and maybe 5 players out...

Kane Smith is training with the club. Will it be made perm?

Have we got 5 players other teams would want?

 

[MAFF]

5 Players out?????

 

[Kingokings204]

I think there will be some movement today. Press conference with mowbray at 9.30am. Will reveal a lot more

 

[Otis]

Isn't that just the usual pre match press conference though?

Good to have Kane Smith on trial, but we still have no senior players in defence really.

We still need a total of three defenders, one or two in central midfield, and one striker.

At least there's still three weeks until the start of the season...

 

[Kingokings204]

Yes but will get asked about new players and Andy rose also.

 

[Astute]

That had better not be a SISU 3 weeks.

 

[PVA]

5 players out?!?

Who on earth would they be? You do realise how small the squad is right now? No chance

 

[OffenhamSkyBlue]

It'll be the usual pre-match stuff, but maybe with him reiterating his (possibly ill-judged) comments earlier in the week that we shouldn't see the team or performance tomorrow as the finished article. As has been said elsewhere, we have 6 games before the transfer window closes, and we all know that no business happens until the last 6 hours of deadline day, so we are gonna struggle against the likes of Bradford in 2 weeks' time, who are going to be there or thereabouts, even though they've got rid of Parkinson.

Nothing like talking things up to get the fans excited at the start of the new season, is there?

I'm sorry Mr Mowbray you have a chronic case of transfer constipation caused by lack of funds in your budget, here take these twice a day till you have a successful movement.

Mowbray has just said he wants 6 new players in by the close of the window. Mostly loans. They're struggling this year's because of new loan rule.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Mogga has said they've lost out on 3-4 central defenders.

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

The Reda Johnson story is 'finished' according to Mowbray. Thank f for that

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Yup...Mogga has granted him another 2 weeks fitness at Ryton and he's off.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Mowbray has just said he wants 6 new players in by the close of the window. Mostly loans. They're struggling this year's because of new loan rule.

So why have they sold Vincelot then? Surely not to play loan players wages?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Mogga has said they've lost out on 3-4 central defenders.

Not in the slightest surprised. It might be unfortunate, but it's still the managers responsibility to ensure the team is strong enough. If we lose games for the next month because our defence isn't strong enough, he will have to take the blame.

Kyel Reid came from a championship club.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Vincelot's sale was to fund Reid's wages.

Mogga has hinted it's a struggle to get loan players on the free...

So we can't even pay wages for loan players. We are doing the 'great development opportunity' card.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Kyel Reid came from a championship club.

He was released and a free agent.

Surely his wages can't be that high? That's also only one player...

 

[skybluebeduff]

Kane Smith had 2 weeks with Shrewbury, but was deemed unworthy of a contract. Sign him up!

Agree.

To be honest I haven't heard his interview/press conference, but if he's said he's missed out on that many players then i'm losing a bit of confidence. Previously thought he had it under control but it doesnt sound great.

Loans im not bothered about. There's no difference between having a player on a season long loan and signing a player on a one year contract.

So this seasons budget being "almost" the same as last season has thus proven, to be bullshit.

Most loan players are from teams in higher leagues and so will be on much higher wages than we can afford to pay.

Wasn't it they couldn't come to an agreement on his demands

 

[skybluebeduff]

Apparently so, which is nice to see.

wonder if their fans are screaming "no ambition" blah blah blah

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

There will signings before tomorrow's game.

Got 11 minutes to be registered i think so if so must be already done

 

[Seamus1]

Whilst I hope you are correct, according to Mowbray himself (stated on the Coventry Telegraph site, in their Live rolling feed), he is not expecting any.

Obviously, the paperwork needs to be finished by midday...so if something does happen we might still get something announced at 5pm

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

There will signings before tomorrow's game.

I'd be amazed.

I think I've just about given up hope on waiting for the 6 or 7 players that we need.

 

[sbadey]

Vince has almost certainly had a much better wage offer, then his agent has asked the club to at least match it. We couldn't so he's moved with the better offer imho.

Andy Turner has tweeted to confirm that there will be no-one coming in today but as per usual 3 due in next week. :wtf:

I'm guessing the issue is that while Championship clubs that can afford to pay something are still looking the freebies are unavailable.
