[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Might be a medical tomorrow, would be touch and go for international clearance to play on Sunday.

The more i read into this the more bonkers it seems (for us). We've apparently been looking at players like Vente and Dragus and have now put in a bid at a much higher rate than the figures rumoured for those two. On the face of it, really exciting to see us spending this kind of money but it does feel a bit 'shit or bust' this season now. Going to be an exciting start to the season watching all these new players come in and settle/adjust....a far cry from Mowbray only being able to spend his pound once or scratting around for the likes of Barrett and Maguire-Drew on loan.

Well presumably this will have been in the works for some time as a marquee signing compared to the others. This isn’t quite Sunderland splashing £3 million on Will Grigg.

 

[Grendel]

Ridiculous we can spend this amount on this guy and not give Hamer what he wants. Ridiculous.

Not really. Wage structure and transfer fees are not the same. We need another forward so he and Simms at least on paper look a force for the season

 

[Mcbean]

Reckon this could be a massive wind up to get him somewhere out of Turkey

Van Ewijks has come through in just 3 working days. Its the work permit he needs anyway not the cleaerance

Guess it depends what Hamer wants.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

They had bids rejected according to reports.

Wow times have changed, Cov City out bidding other clubs.

 

[wingy]

Burnley probably would only let him go if we included hamer

Well at the suggested figures he was overpriced, no?

 

[MAFF]

Whats his nickname then? Anyone thought of any good ones?

Wrighty

Maybe dragus was also in the plans as well as this guy , can't see us going from 1 extreme to the other, maybe we wanted both . Vente I believe now was never a thing

Would not be surprised!

Heighty

 

[Offhegoes]

Watched some of his highlights...Strong and quick, left footed. Looks like he could be a good foil for Simms (who I am sure will be more of a penalty box striker)

 

[SkyblueDad]

If this is true, I strongly suspect that we have a silent partner/s involved with financing the club.
Any ideas about who that might be?

Grendel

 

[Frostie]

We were still hoping Gus was staying at Exeter.

Doubt they can afford him. The airport does offer direct flights to Holland though.

With this sort of backing is MR under pressure to deliver? It looks like King is serious, and has already said he's looking at playoffs three out of five seasons. We've not been in this sort of position for years. It will be interesting to see what happens.

 

[Balli001]

Its reliable journalists reporting it though not bedroom teenagers

 

[SkyblueDad]

Well if it's £7m baseline fee then that'd take the spending to about £15m all in. Either way it would look that MR is being given the vast majority of the fee to work with.

Think Doug King has said most of it will go on squad strengthening, still got plenty left and loans.

And until some recent spending a team rarely linked with transfers, especially with fees involved!

 

[gspotgaz]

The simms and van de wijk signings felt … weird but in an exciting way … this just feels nuts and the pressure on the lad (and robins) to deliver will be huge

 

[Saddlebrains]

Disgusting

It was, went everywhere

Not sure he will be tbh , the team will get better over the next couple seasons with so many new faces in the starting 11 ..if we are to go up this year that's a bonus I suppose .. we've secured a solid base for the next 3 or 4 years to work from

 

[fatso]

Every team. Mustapha Hadji, Wright?

 

[Covcraig@bury]

If this comes off and turns out to be true the I nominate Saddlebrains to issue BJs as well as Hand Jobs , I’m sure he won’t say no

You'd expect top 6 with the amount being spent on the squad

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Agreed. This is the first signing I feel slightly apprehensive about. Although it will be exciting to have a signing on the worst championship transfers list of all time, if he does flop!

I would like it ofcourse , I also said he other day in the prediction thread NEXT year might be the one for us

 

[Tommo1993]

I’m gonna have to erase the internet from my life somehow.

“Gutted we’re not getting McNally back”, after signing 3 CB’s.

“Gutted Dragus isn’t coming”. After watching a short reel of highlights, and not knowing of his existence prior to the rumour.

“Absolutely buzzing, Haji Wright!” Same as above.

It really looks like people are happy to sign anyone because unusually we’re spending a lot of money on them. I feel if I start being sick, I won’t stop.

[Skyblueweeman]

Alright mate you’ve been Warnered

Waugh?

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Coventry agree 11m deal for Haji Wright

9m + 2m in add ons and a 20% sell on clause :eek: The lad looked poor for USA at the world cup and fans of Turkish league clubs are laughing at the fee Scored a decent amount for a mid table team like, but between him and simms that's a wedge of the gyokeres money gone

They can't help themselves....

WTF is going on????!
