Wonder if we will try and bring him back in on a season long loan? possibly one of the 2 strikers thorn wants to bring in? and a big target man?

No thanks. He won't bring the goals we need.

Would do a class job on the wing though

 

[Skybluedar]

Despite his impressive start, he should have contributed more for us last season. If he does bring him back I will get right behind him however we need goals, not sure if he can score enough. Lots of pace though which we could use.

 

[ccfcdan]

Yep sorry Baker boy I have to disagree. Altough he was exciting to watch we need goals. Would prefer 2 goalscorers, I've heard we are very close to signing a target man from the bundesliga and we failed to get a young Liverpool striker on loan due to his age.

I'd rather sign a proper winger, than play someone who see himself as a striker out on the wing.

 

[dongonzalos]

would love it, if he came, either to play on wing or up front. As you say him, a target man, a creative midfielder plus Jennings. With only RK going out then with that squad I would expect a play off push

I agree. As I said on another post we have a pop gun attack which needs sorting. Signing a player who scores an average of 2 goals a season is not the answer. Neither is Roy O'donovan

 

[PVA]

I think he'd do a decent job in L1. He had the pace to scare defences in the Championship but unfortunately his final product was distinctly lacking. However, in L1 his pace would cause him to get in goalscoring opportunities more often and so I think he'd score a few more goals.

Any Idea of this Guy's Name??

He hated the wing at Middlesborough so would never come bak if he thought he'd be used this way

 

[SuperCov]

I liked Nimely, yes he only scored goal, but sometimes it's not always about scoring goals. I remember times when he had 2/3 players around him trying to tackle him, so surely drawing players out of position creating space for others would be quite an asset, especially in Division 3.

 

[Dimi_Konstantflapalot]

Did win a couple of penalties as well, his contribution was far more than his goal tally suggests. Would be a big asset in League 1 with his pace, and good for his development at this stage to be getting some regular first team action.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

I would have Nimely back here without hesitation

 

[thechase]

I wouldnt have him back. We need goalscorers and for al his pace he wont provide us with the necessary goals. We appear to be well off for attacking midfielders in the new formation and i dont see NImely being good enough to play as a lone striker.

The problem is, 9 times out of 10 he showed no interest in getting in the box, and that is down to poor movement not the level he's playing at. We would work the ball outwide and he would be stood 4-5 yards outside the box, showing no desire to get in on the end of a cross, pass etc.

Unless that target man was Ibrohimovic then we'd still have a goal shy forward line.

 

[stupot07]

I would rather have schlupp from Leicester.

 

[Grendel]

It is a point overlooked by many. The fact o'donovan is still considered speaks volumes. Elliot's record is not encouraging and in his mid 20's McDonald still is an unknown quantity.

Something that could be coached into him, he would have some defences in this league tied up in knots with his close control and dribbling.

But to me that should be bread and butter strikers play, at 21 he should already have a lot of that movement. I know Keane was another class but that was mainly down to the quality of movement. Millwall had a young 18 year old striker on loan from tottenham - he scored 8 in 23, and looked very lively against us.

 

[Chipfat]

Does he give us as a squad something different or something that can change a game with a bit of quality answer YES so i would take him if he was a free option.. My on reservation about him or any other loan would be are they stopping one of our own from developing quicker..

Harry Kane

Maybe Nimely isn't ever going to be a natural goalscorer but I think he still offers a lot to a side playing in a deeper attacking role/second striker

 

[Sky Blue Sheepy]

He didn't score too many, but how many did he create? We beat Leeds because he got into the box and single handedly won us 2 pens. He'd be unplayable in League 1

He cant score goals and we need goals. I accept he tired but the truth is he looked poor in the last few games he played.

Yep, once the opposition realised that he doesn't use his pace to get in behind and just wants to drop deep, all they need to do was play a DCM and he was pretty much nullified.

 

[dongonzalos]

Cody to me is a 25 goal man at league one level.

Nimely can either play with him or on the wing if the target man is on with Cody.
Or on the bench to come on and change a game.

He was awesome for us till he picked up a knock. I think he played quite a few games with the knock, which is why I think he is getting a bit of flack.
When he was fit he scored his goal and won us quite a few free kicks and penalties.

I'm sorry but he wasn't awesome.

If he came back I would support him but I would rather bring in goal scorer.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Was pretty much the only player in the squad who could actually dribble past a man last season, when he first joined everyone was talking about his flair and how he was a breath of fresh air.

Why is it that big target men are always excused for a lack of goalscoring as they bring "other qualities" but if you are a small player you are expected to be a poacher.

Oh well we still have ROD, great goalscorer and a far superior player to Nimely

Dribbled past a man with no end result unfortunately. We dont need him or his type of player this season. We currently need a target man and a goalscorer, neither of which Nimely is.

So we can go long to him every time?

Brilliant

Then do tell me what Roy 'Never Misses' O'Donovan is doing with us still.

Hopefully this is the pre injury Alex Nimely we would get

The 20-year-old Manchester City asset marked an impressive Coventry debut by scoring one goal and having a crucial hand in the other two as the Sky Blues bagged three for the first time this season to chalk up their third home win on the spin.

3 Mar 2012 – Penalty taken by Sammy Clingan is saved by Kasper Schmeichel. Leicester 2-0 Coventry. 71:12. Foul by Wes Morgan on Alex Nimely

15 Feb 2012 – Press Association Images Leeds United's Danny Pugh (second right) fouls Coventry City's Alex Nimely (right) and gives away a penalty

14 Feb 2012 – 90+2 mins:Penalty conceded by Aidan White (Leeds United) after a foul in the penalty area. 90+2 mins:Penalty Coventry City. Alex Nimely ...

14 Feb 2012 – Alex Nimely, a striker on loan from Manchester City, won Coventry's first penalty in the 20th minute when he wriggled between three defenders

"His overall contribution to the side has been very good and I think he deserves a bit more credit than he might be getting. "He has won a few penalties for us and his assist count is good as well"
I think from this point whenever he played, he was injured and hence he is not rated by all

Alex Nimely didn't start against Bristol City because of a knock he sustained in the 2-2 draw against Peterborough last weekend.

And? He won 2 pens against a shocking leeds team (not 3 as indicated above), and won a penalty against Leicester in which he got clipped by the defender while chasing down the keeper and scored against 9 man middlesborough.

He made contributions in 3 games out of 17, Norwood pretty much shined in 90% of the games he played.

He was not awesome, if he was awesome Mowbray would have played him up top for middlesborough and would have started every game he was there.

He's got potential, he's got skill, but he hasn't got a very good footballing brain (yet) and made lots of poor decisions before and after getting injured.

Yes that is it. He was awesome on his debut but the fact that people then have to dig up some facts that he won a couple of penalties shows that he actually did very little.
