Right, really hopeful today.

To play tomorrow players must be signed by 12pm today and CT reporting 2 new faces are currently at Ryton this morning.

2 new centre backs would be great with 1 being the Finnish CB.

The squad could look a lot better after today.

Heres hoping

 

[covcity4life]

if we get them i wonder if those that were crying 2 weeks ago about lack of sales will admit they were wrong and should have listened to the sensible posters like meeeeeeeeeee

 

[Liquid Gold]

Any of you got clues on who the second player could be?

 

[SkyBlueCRJ]

Reda Johnson on a season long loan from Eastleigh

Or Jim O'Brien from Shrewsbury, or Carl Baker from Portsmouth, or maybe that bearded French fella from Bradford.

No one seems to know other than its another CB.

I think get these 2 CB in today and all we really need is a star striker to get us 20 goals a year and we really look a lot better.

Not getting excited until it is said by the club there is an announcement.

That's been made even more sensible by the last few weeks

 

[Woodster]

I'd like to see a Stephens or Cargill back on loan as the second centre-half, they both impressed me.

Great post. Genuinely 'lol'ed' at that!

Your patience and optimism is admired, for sure.

I don't think it is about being 'wrong' though. I think it's more expressing concern that the squad wasn't/isn't ready earlier.

I said all along if I felt we had a serious squad I would get a season ticket, and I probably will now if we go and sign three players today, but it only gives me a matter of hours to get it sorted. I know it was my own decision, but I probably wasn't the only one who felt like this either.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

And remember: we ARE expecting signings.

So, don’t go anywhere. Unless you need the toilet, of course.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

So, who's incoming?
City are in advanced talks to sign Finnish international centre-back Juhani Ojala on a free transfer.

Finland's Tim Sparv and Juhani Ojala
The 27-year-old has Europa League pedigree - and you can find out more about him by clicking here.

At 6 ft 3 in, Ojala is a big, strapping lad and will surely shore up a Sky Blues defence which is in some desperate need of more experience - and more bodies.

 

[Nick]

Im glad we arent signing people who wear snoods.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Ojala looks a little bit like Ivan Drago

 

[Esoterica]

Come all without, come all within
You'll not see nothing like the mighty Finn!

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Gillingham have just signed Jamie O'Hara.

 

[Imissandywhing]

Not sure about if there is any truth in this but ive heard the name Sullay Kaikai being floated around. Would be a welcomed addition but not from reliable sources.

 

[no_loyalty]

Gillingham have just signed Jamie O'Hara.

On a 2 year deal, good signing for them if they can deal with the baggage

 

[no_loyalty]

Wouldn't mind seeing Ryan Inniss here on loan

 

[Kingokings204]

Gillingham have just signed Jamie O'Hara.

He was born near there (dartford) so makes sense really.

 

[stevefloyd]

Sullay Kaikai shouldn't think so ..he scores goals mind but I think we have enough kids atm

 

[BigadamL]

O'hara was on 50k a week at Wolves while in league one! Mental

i think we will fight for promotion i really do. but trust in TM to make your decision. you need to see see signings today if window open till end of month

but then i am an optimist

 

[covcity4life]

3 misn till deadline!

i guess they could annouce them later in day though

 

[SkyBlueCRJ]

Sullay Kaikai shouldn't think so ..he scores goals mind but I think we have enough kids atm

29 appearances, 12 goals. I don't care if he's got 3 fingers and 1 leg. He's a winger that scores goals, this is exactly what we need

Like I said, just a name ive heard being floated around, no reliability in it but would be a welcomed addition, looks to have a bright future. hopefully it turns out to be true!

Exactly no more truth in it than Gabby pulling on a sky blue shirt but certainly should be a player TM should be looking at!

 

[junglej13]

Suspect it may just be Ojala and McBean confirmed today.

 

[robbiekeane]

Suspect it may just be Ojala and McBean confirmed today.

I'd be disappointed if McBean is one of the announcements when it's already been widely reported. Might be right though

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

That's standard.

Announce that we have big signing news, then reveal it was someone that's been training with us for two weeks.

I want Ronaldo!

 

[tom88]

No signings today!

[jackdg]

Prepare for meltdown... Mowbray confirmed no new signings for tomorrows game!!!!
