A sneaking suspicion..... (Monday Transfer Thread) (6 Viewers)

[CovisGod]

We might get one or two transfers over the line today, don't ask me why, or for a source, as I don't have one. Call it a gut feeling. Anybody else think we might draft one or two in today and if so who ?

If that Finn doesn't sign today, I think we can rule him out. Advanced talks don't last 4-5 days without there being a hitch.

I would like to say yes but I have had that feeling everyday since July 1st

Not holding my breath or hoping as the disappointment is not as bad. Any movement on transfers is then always a bonus

 

[bradwellskyblues]

all logic says you are correct one problem this is ccfc we are talking about

 

[woody11462]

I've got a feeling the Telegraph will put out a piece stating a signing is imminent and then nothing will happen.

Waiting for the headline: 10 reasons why Coventry City could sign 2 players today!

 

[better days]

I fancy something may happen today with new central defender(s)

 

[BoomShanka]

Looks like Long is going to Bristol City on loan. Some outlets stating he turned us down (Twitter so take with a pinch of salt).

 

[Liquid Gold]

Don't get your hopes up

 

[Kingokings204]

Here is to hoping.

We badly need centre backs and strikers

 

[Nick]

wont be excited until an official announcement

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I'm not paying any serious attention to rumours or Telegraph articles until the official website release a statement with pictures of any player holding up Sky Blue shirt as evidence.

I've learned my lesson...

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

I'm actually more worried about getting a bloody striker in who can score goals than defenders today!

same now, i need to stop monitoring this forum i'm going to get grey hair

Agree with this, I think if we had a decent striker we would have easily won the last 2 games

 

[Kingokings204]

Couldn't agree more. Armstrong would of scored in the last two games for sure

Who is Long?

 

[Nick]

The worrying bit is strikers and attack is where we have brought players in already...

To be fair Sordell has only played 45 of the 300 mins of football so far. I'm hoping he may come good yet.

 

[tom88]

Who is Long?

I'm not. It definitely looks like a midgets thumb

 

[Kingokings204]

Yes but sordell has been injured, George Thomas clearly isn't good enough or ready. Tuggy was left on the bench.

Is it any wonder we can't score?

We badly need an Armstrong fellow

[skybluebeduff]

Don't worry, we have the almost the same budget as last season, expect players... :banghead:

 

[RegTheDonk]

Believe hes come off the bench for the latter stages of their games. Lost both games, but would be interested to see if he's had any chances to score. He'll probably start a game soon if they keep this up...or be shipped out!

 

[SkyBlueScottie]

The Finnish lad and Jordan Turnbull is my guess.

 

[Liquid Gold]

It's almost eerily quiet today compared to last week, maybe this means we're actually getting the deals done

 

[CCFC_Charlie]

Wasn't it supposed to be a "calculated risk" playing Willis and Ricketts at CB in the cup game vs Portsmouth? Well they're both about to play their 4 game in 11 days if we haven't signed someone before 12 today.

Also seen it suggested on twitter they are buying him for 500 K...

That definitely isn't happening!

Only way SISU would put in that kind of money is if they could sell on with a guaranteed profit at Xmas.

 

[Nick]

Isn't it the same account about him turning us down that said Ablongahor was signing?

 

[no_loyalty]

Bristol City buying Long for 500k, not us

 

[rupert_bear]

Although we do need a centre back I think Willis and Ricketts will do a job as long as they stay fit, but we need goals, forwards, let one goal in we probably won't win that's scary.

Has Ricketts got the legs for a full season though? I'm not sure he has. At least he shouldn't be required to play left or right back this year but I'm sceptical he can play 50 games without vanishing again.

 

[letsallsingtogether]

The Finnish lad and Jordan Turnbull is my guess.

I think that was misread should have been finish.

 

[better days]

My guess is that forward(s) coming in will be loans from Premier League clubs. There are quite a few clubs with brilliant young strikers who are 5th or 6th choice and need to be playing men's football
