Transfer game Milan van Ewijk on the car: Coventry City bids for right back, also interest from Leeds United

All sounds double dutch to me

Why didn’t you press the translate tweet ?

Coventry City was already interested in Van Ewijk at the end of last season and, just like Anderlecht at the time, made an offer. Both times that was resolutely refused by SC Heerenveen. Nevertheless, Coventry City made another attempt last week. However, the English club, which recently narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League, received another zero from the Abe Lenstra stadium.

That's 2 bids rejected, they previously rejected one from Anderlecht too. Would be a massive coup, has to be £6 mill plus surely?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Looks like we made another offer last week which was rejected


SC Heerenveen refused an offer from Coventry City last week. This club has wanted to capture Van Ewijk for some time.

Leeds United are now also interested in the 22-year-old right back.

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Sporting and Porto both interested in him if Twitter is to be believed

Splash the cash and get him. Sounds like we really want him

 

[PVA]

Some Dutch guy in the replies saying minium €6/7m, possibly more like €8/9m and that he was one of the best right backs in the Eredivisie last season.

Also played for Netherlands in the recent u21 euros

If we can talk them into a Simms like structure then maybe, otherwise it's pretty unlikely isn't it.

I suspect every deal we’re doing this summer is structured like that.

Yeh but it's how much can we lean into that side of it isn't it. If they want 6 mil plus 1 mil if we get promoted then there's no chance. If it's 3.5 then a further 3.5 on promotion then maybe. That's oversimplified of course.

I guess interest in this guy, if genuine, puts to bed the argument about where Sakamoto was signed to play.

 

[fatso]

I'm not saying he ain't worth it, but the money quoted (if true) would be huge for us to pay.
Maybe the club are spending the Hamer money before he goes

We still have gyok money and who knows if Doug is happy to put his own 2-3m in even if we had not sold him.

No one knows

And resigning Norton Cuffey

 

[long way home]

They are playing Huddersfield on Saturday in a friendly, so im sure we will be talking to the club to try to get him in. He spoke after a friendly in the week and said he will miss his team mates and has always wanted to play abroad. We are going to have to pay big for this player but he will be worth in my opinion.

 

[San Francisco]

One of those that'd cost a fair bit but would become among the Championships best and potentially leave for a massive fee.

I don’t think Sakamoto was signed to be our first choice RWB. It’s likely that we’ve signed him to play in the box and either side of the WB slots.

It’s a long season so having a player who can play WB and in the box is important.

 

[SkyblueDad]

Van Ewijk, Dutch full-back ? Linked with Dutch striker Vente ? Pirole is Dutch and we have a Dutch/Brazilian we are trying to convince to stay. Perhaps the outcome will be all double dutch.

 

[long way home]

Robins is building a squad of young versatile players on long contracts that will hopefully develop into very expensive assets. Not all will turn out that way but in my opinion its the best way to go, not only to maximize the profit of the investment but to build a strong unit full of team spirit. We will see loan signings but i don't think the 5 will be 1st team starters more quality depth.

Think the retention of Kelly and Fadz is central to this strategy - its a great strategy to sign prospects as we are but to develop them they need the right leadership and guidance from existing senior players who know the club

Watching him yesterday admittedly only about 20 minutes due to getting in late I doubt he will be our rwb on a regular basis.

And you got that from him playing a pre season game at LWB?

This would be a very exciting signing, but maybe a bit beyond us.

Andy Turner seems to think he’d cost £4m which seems a bit more doable but that is of course Andy Turner saying that.

 

[covcity4life]

Like a spoilt child I want this signing more than another if the other ones linked to us

£4m would be worth it imo. ticks all the boxes to be a big sale in the future.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Sounds like we’re serious about going for him and presumably well placed.
Exciting times.

 

[Alkhen]

Would think our ability to broker deals weighted more towards success clauses has been boosted massively by how narrowly we missed out last season.

 

[shmmeee]

Still not believing this. Seems a huge amount to spend on a wingback.

Yeah I don’t see it. Have we ever spent this much money on a defender?

If this could happen, would make Gus feel right at home.

Hard to say with inflation etc - I would guess £2.5 m was the highest before
