- Thread starter Nick

young players with far too much money, girls on tap, booze and boredom. Footballers are gonna allways have issues. i think john terry is a knob, but would i like him in sky blue? of course i would.
He has served his time lets hope he behaves while with us and start afresh

COVENTRY CITY have today made an official bid for Everton FC striker Lukas Jutkiewicz.
It is understood that Sky Blues chairman Ray Ranson has made a cash offer for the Toffees frontman, who enjoyed a successful loan spell with Motherwell last season.
The Sky Blues have already had a season-long loan bid for the 21-year-old frontman rejected by Goodison Park chiefs but are now keen to bring him to the Ricoh Arena on a permanent basis.
Jutkiewicz has just one year to run on his current deal with Everton after making only one appearance for the club since his £1m transfer from Swindon in 2007.

Why would you want John Terry ? He's slow, disrupts the team and abandons his defensive duties too often. Plus he's a knob.

I guess it comes down to what your values are.
I've supported City for nearly 50 years, and I don't think King is the type of person who should be around the club. There were enough warnings about Lee Hughes before he arrived, and look how he turned out.
I know everyone is now going to say what a great job Dennis Wise did, but for me he was not the sort of player I want associated with MY club.

I see that Kings agent has told Sky that there are a number of clubs intrested in him now,including some premier league clubs.I'd be very suprised if anyone from the Prem are intrested,just trying to drum up intrest me thinks.

I really hope we sign this 'icing on the top of the cake' Premier league striker soon, if we don't (it has been reported to have fell through) King will be our big eighth signing and our new no. 9. But if we do sign this Striker i wouldn't mind having King as a bit of a bonus, i think if that were to happen our front line would look pretty sharp.

Coventry City manager Aidy Boothroyd has said that he spoke to Marlon King on Friday but at the moment, he has interest in other players.
King was released from Prison on Thursday, having has been place on the Sex Offenders Register and appeared on Sky Sports News on Friday, claiming he was a changed man.
"I have had a conversation with him. I spoke to him on Friday, just to say I thought that the interview that appeared on Sky was humbling. He made his mistakes and has came out and said that," said Aidy Boothroyd to the CT.
"I think it is important whether it is Marlon King or anyone else - and I have always said this - that people deserve a second chance.
"He has got a story to tell and he obviously wants to tell that story and as he puts it, things might not be as clear cut as perhaps what have been made, and you have to respect an individual's right to want to speak. But I thought the way he came across was terrific and I just phoned him to say that.
"There is nothing more in it than that. It is all about Portsmouth for us now and for Marlon it is about getting himself back with his family, his wife and his kids and, I guess, re-establishing himself in football will come at a later date because I think family will probably come first for him now."

I think he has alot to offer to are club in terms of championship experiance and could maybe be are 15-20 goal a season striker once he hits fitness/form
Sign him up!!!!!!

If you look carefully Marlon King runs over and pulls Aidy Boothroyd away and tells him to use his head.

I'm beginning to think we really should take him, he may take a wee while to hit form but i think he would definitely be worth the risk!
if thats true, wouldn't surprisse me if it pushes Aidy iinto action...hope so!
