Transfer rumours in or out (18 Viewers)

[Grendel]

Really boring subject but it's both a closed final salary scheme ( Defined benefit) and Money purchased scheme.

Are you finding that more people are cashing the whole fund in post the new legislation? Is this a good idea do you think?

Apparently according to Les Reid...Slade is working on a late deal for strikee as he has missed out on his first target.

Also a late bid has come in for a cov youngster

Ben Stevenson to Brentford.

 

[stevefloyd]

Really is shit...no news and no goals to look forward to

Bottom of the barrel scrapings? Can't see that many good strikers being available anyway, but if we missed out on our first choice, how good is the second choice?

Christ why does that sound familiar?? Oh yeah, Venus is doing the recruitment...(allegedly)

COVENTRY City are still hoping to bring in one striker – or one attacking midfielder – with 90 minutes to go before the transfer window closes at 11pm, we can reveal.

Club sources have just told us boss Russell Slade is still hoping to finalise a deal to boost goalscoring options, which has been a problem all season.

One striker in particular is being considered at this late stage.

He is not the same striker who Slade was targeting earlier today.

We are told the club realistically at this late stage expects to bring in one more player at best, if at all.

There has also been renewed late interest in one young Sky Blues player tonight which could still lead to a sale.

Brentford with the Hogan money?
Left with a disaffected Willis?
might get a striker (but not who he was after?)
A bit depressing?!

LIVE: Coventry City late bid to land a striker, and late bid for one Sky Blues player

Going to be Hobsons choice

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Absolutely pathetic they are treating us like complete idiots

 

[skybluetony176]

So as Bryan Richardson has less moves up then his successors are you at last admitting he was a success?

Fucking hell. Is grendull talking bollocks and desperately clutching to analogies? Yes. Does it include Richardson? Yes.

Yeah you know he's struggling when he has to throw Richardson into the mix.

What a clown you are.

What is?

Why are we fucking around with targets we can't land, when it's the last day of the window?????

 

[stevefloyd]

Whos the player Oucho?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Wycombe lost 4-2 tonight lads, cheer up (and had 4 go off injured)


Ok - made up the bit in brackets

 

[robbiethemole]

look at all the fucking movement at other teams and we still can't get some fuckers in. FFS Slade get yer fucking finger out

Depends on which side of the fence you sit. Good for the scheme defeceit but not the sensible option for the individual typically. Of course, every individual has there own situation but typically a short sighted option in my opinion .We have tried to discourage people ( attempt to adopt a concerned employer approach) but end of the day a vast majority of people take the short term misguided view.

So it was two to come in, now down to one and the one is not our first choice.

Mouthwatering isn't it.

 

[oucho]

Whos the player Oucho?

Clue - he was managed by Alex Ferguson

Do shut up you tedious bore.

 

[shmmeee]

Every single transfer window is like this, yet we still blame the manager.

 

[shmmeee]

Grendel adding quality to the thread again I see.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Christie, Turner, Murphy, Jutkeiwiz (sp?), Sordell, JOB, Fleck, Thomas, Phillips, Vincelot, Pugh, Webster, Jackson, Miller, Murphy, Moussa, Seabourne, J Clarke, Adams, Daniels, Swanson.

All went to clubs above us now. I could go on.

Seaborne, Daniels, Webster, Miller?

Am I missing something here, some of the worse players to pull on the shirt in the history of the club here.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

What is?

This transfer window, the bollox fisher spouted on talk sport. Everything. Not sure many can take much more crap

 

[Otis]

We need strengthening. If two go out and one comes in that will be annoying. Even one out one in if it is Stevenson.

That will not be strengthening.

We do still have the two trialists though don't we.

 

[Hobo]

Why are we fucking around with targets we can't land, when it's the last day of the window?????

Yes lets just sign someone who is shit and desperate. Let's just get something over the line....then we can all shout: He is shit!

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

TF has just pm'd me to let all season ticket holders know that if we can get Wycombe sales up to 25,000 before 10.55 tonight, we can get our 2nd choice striker deal across the line.. Txt all your mates:banghead:

if Slade can keep this lot up and bag the Checkatrade he deserves a fuckin' knighthood.

 

[SKYBLUES90]

Did anybody really expect anything different?

Same old City. No notable incomings (which were promised)

And only rumours seem to be of outgoings.

Surely Tim needs to be summoned to CWR and questioned as to why he lied on both TalkSPORT and CWR about funds being available to improve the squad

"Summoned by CWR"!! Message boards are the new asylums!

 

[no_loyalty]

Slade is desperately trying to get hold of Fisher or Venus to sanction incoming deals, but it has become apparent that their phones are off

 

[sw88]

Wouldn't be the same if we didn't "Miss out in our number 1 target"

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

It would be us fans fault skyblue he's a lying snake. We are utterly screwed

 

[Otis]

Wouldn't be the same if we didn't "Miss out in our number 1 target"

I know. But every season we end up with a number two.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Oucho, when you say play alongside. Is that senior level or could he have say played with that player at youth/u21 level for club/country?

 

[Nick]

Do signings not on deadline day not count any more?

 

[stevefloyd]

this year we have more number two's than we know what to do with
