21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread (46 Viewers)

One of the Cov connected players who never seems to get linked with us is Jordan Graham, who I think would be a lot better signing than many of those that have been like Collins. I guess as a winger he wouldn't fit into MR's gameplan, but pretty sure he will end up signing with a Championship side this Summer.

I'd be very surprised if he doesn't go to Birmingham. Bowyer loves him.

Why is that? What's their connection?

He's tried to sign him a few times I believe.

Peter Ndlovu was a kid from the arse end of nowhere. Just saying.

The fact you’ve had to trawl back over 30 years to find a success says it all doesn’t it?

Oxford are staying in L1. Hope Robins put a bid in for Rob Atkinson a minute after the full-time whistle.

Good is he? Didnt they have a decent centre half last year who went to QPR?

Rob Dickie. Was undisclosed but believe they held out for a fairly hefty fee. (Hefty for a league 1 defender.)

Left-footed, physical and good on the ball. Exactly what we need tbh.

Yep, Rob Dickie went to QPR last summer for around £2m.

Sounds ideal. Got pace?
We need to improve on/get a younger version of mcfadzean.

Missing points since 1952, be like your underpants and never change Grendel.

Going to jump in with another suggestion, again looking at lower league players who could potentially step up. Bradford centre back Paudie O'connor looks like he might be a decent shout. Ticks a lot of boxes.

Had a great season, think he's just won their POTY? Wouldn't be at all surprised to see him get a Championship move but not sure if he's a great fit for us. Sound defensively but not convinced about him on the ball & would prefer a left footer as well tbh.

Yes was their POTY I think. Depends if our coaches think his play from the back can be worked on I suppose. Being a good defender is nice starting point though.

Steven Caulker contract expired at antalyaspor. Just got into the team of the season in the Turkish league, not sure what sort of wage he would command these days but could be a decent option as long term heir to fadz.

He'd certainly be useful to fill in small cracks in the defence. He'd give forwards a pasting.

James Collins rejected chance to join Sky Blues

The 30-year-old striker has again turned down the opportunity to play for his beloved hometown club

Seems like we matched the Cardiff offer, so much for being a 'massive' cov fan.

Not fussed about Collins turning us down, more heartened by the fact we matched Cardiff on wages

Not bothered in the slightest. Would've been quite underwhelmed if he was the striker signing of the summer.

That’s what I thought. Think we dodged a bullet tbh - not sure he would have been any good with us from what I’ve seen of him

I was told at the weekend that we didn't quite match the wage offer, but it was Mick McCarthy that was the big draw for him. Glad we never got him tbh, I think the time to get him would have been in league 2 but it worked out well for us anyway getting McNulty. Move on.

 

[Frostie]

Actually quite heartened by this. Good news that we can compete wages wise but really surprised if we genuinely did pursue him that hard.
Definitely could do with a player of his ilk but would much prefer one on the way up rather than on the way down.

He actually said he “was” a massive Coventry fan when he was 10 or 11, allegiance may lie elsewhere now.

Think this guy’s his agent these days:

Marcos Painter - Wikipedia

[CDK]

He's welcome there ,good we are competitive wages wise.move on from Collins.also think godden and walker are better finishers.

 

[Mr Panda]

Looking forward to Collins retiring just so we're not linked every 2/3 years.

Walker will spend more of his career at a higher level than Collins did.

 

[robbiethemole]

"massive fan" on SBT equates to "massive bellend", thank feck he's at Cardiff for 2 years, by the times his contract is up he'll be ready to retire and we'll never have to have another of these shite threads

 

[Legia Sky Blue]

When Collins doesn't become a regular at Cardiff, we will get plenty on here encouraging a move for him however long his contract is. I'm 100% sure this won't be the last transfer window someone puts him on their wishlist

 

[fernandopartridge]

Would he be a guaranteed starter here? He wasn't at Luton in the end

 

[robbiethemole]

^ nope

 

[SleepyGinger]

I’m quite surprised we were in for him at all if the cov telegraph is to be trusted. A player on the decline, doesn’t fit the model and wouldn’t massively improve our team. If our striking options going into next year we’re Walker godden and Collins I’d be quite disappointed.

Yeah, absolutely. I can fully believe we enquired & put some feelers out to guage where he was at but certainly wouldn't have had him down as a top target.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Interesting though if the article is true I assume we will be in for a similar type player, but who.

Aguerro and if not it’s proof that we have no intention of progressing next season

 

[larry_david]

Fooking hell it's dull isn't it

 

[SleepyGinger]

Quite an interesting read a Blackburn analyst/fan has put together. Skip to the recruitment section, I’d imagine we would be looking in similar markets given our data driven recruitment and similar league position.
