Striker in the pipeline? (5 Viewers)

[Nick]

Coventry City announce ninth signing of the summer - and there's set to be a 10th

Despite rumours on social media, the Telegraph understands no further signings are imminent.

But the world of football is a strange place and things can change at any moment

Translating to, "we are just pressing refresh like everybody else".

Remember when the Telegraph were bragging about beating the club to the Doyle announcement...

Tbh they might as well of said "We don't have a clue" would have been more accurate.

I'm hoping this next striker signing will be a statement guaranteed goals guy with experience - like McGoldrick and Clarke were.

What are the chances

cant tell if this is a good joke about mcgoldrick or just forgetting history

 

[mark82]

All this from a tenuous tweet from an ex-employee.

might be a signing today, might not be a signing today

either way the CET have you covered!

 

[RFC]

[skybluebeduff]

Just the one exclamation mark was sufficient! But seeing how you like them so much...

Hopefully you to leave next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't understand this post, CC4L. Didn't McGoldrick score enough goals for you?

 

[ajsccfc]

For us but not before us.

 

[no_loyalty]

I'm still hoping we sign Reuben Reid, I think he would bang in the goals for us

 

[covcity4life]

I don't understand this post, CC4L. Didn't McGoldrick score enough goals for you?

you said proven goalscorer like mcgoldrick. but when we signed him everyone moaned and called him mgoaldrought

moral of story lets stop discounting our current strikers as not being able to score enough goals

None of our current strikers has been prolific at any club they have ever played at.
Biamou is from non-league and is a complete unknown quantity.
We'll just have to wait and see if they can deliver.

So prior to signing for us.

McGoldrick had 29 goals in 170 apps
McNulty had 62 goals in 178 apps

It's been a while since we had genuine competition up front.

Yeah, Huckerby, Dublin, Aloisi, Whelan. Since then....

You can never have too many good strikers.

Unless you end up having to field 11 of them

We should here about this new striker before Spain hopefully.

Interestingly McNulty scored 10 in 27 for Portsmouth in L2, and 8 of those appearances were as sub, so some could have been only a few minutes. On that form its not impossible to imagine 20 goals from him next season.

Yes also in a team that tended not to score many goals. They relied on goals from many areas not just the strikers. Should do well for us if he's given the right service.

Alright swap Aloisi for Lightbourne and Haworth. Ok, maybe not.

Are this stats correct... if they are then what are we worried about we found our star striker for next season, one goal every 2.7 is fair ratio, but when you factor in the subs thing that's gotta be almost a goal every other game!

As I posted before plenty of Pompey fans were bemused as to why they didnt try and sign him. given games and service he will score goals in Lg2

According to Soccerbase, the stats are correct. He also scored 10 for Sheff U in 40 appearances, of which 27 were from the bench. Not as good a ratio but in a higher division and over 3 seasons so he didn't get a good run.
Didn't do so well at Bradford but only 5 starts out of 15.
I think he will do well for us if we can give him the service as Alkhen says

[dongonzalos]

Definitely need a newcstriker it will be one of the final pieces

 

[mark82]

Sign him up

 

[Cavan O'Doherty]

Could Nicky Ajose be a possibility? Rumours saying Charlton are willing to let him go for free. Even if they weren't the fee wouldn't be too high.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

did people think McGoldrick was guaranteed goals? Im pretty sure people were negative about his previous record.

I do remember the buzz of anticipation when we secured Freddy Eastwood mind :S

The supposed bad reception that McGoldrick's signing got seems to get greater in magnitude on here with every passing year. I remember it as a couple of posters being a bit negative, but that was about it. I was pretty chuffed, he was rated in general in the game and had been played out wide too much at his previous clubs, which were both a bit of a train wreck at the time and badly managed!

I remember 25000 people marching into town protesting at him signing for us. Flags and photoshopped pictures. The works.

I was chuffed too when we got him, I do remember rumbles of discontent but that was my point. You never know what you're going to get. McG came good from a poor record. I was surprised to see so many on here almost disregard McNulty as a fringe or backup player even though he has a better record than most strikers we've signed in recent years
