Transfer Rumour Raphael Borges Rodriguez signs for Coventry (22 Viewers)

[shmmeee]

Experience is overrated, elderly high wage championship cloggers should be avoided.

Leadership doesn’t have to be experience TBF. It’s just more likely.

except a whinge on the transfe ritself

Oh yea deffo.

I just want experience in. We've lost Fadz, Godden, potentially Bidwell, Wilson, older heads who have been here a while

Just feel we lack that at the moment and we will lose more of it this summer

 

[covcity4life]

He might be coming in for the u23s?

 

[Diogenes]

He might be coming in for the u23s?

As long as it's consensual and they are 18+.

Lol

But actually I wrote it wrong(shock horror)

I meant he might NOT be coming in for the u23s?

You do realise its 22nd of May and not 31st of August right?

We will get some experienced players no doubt. Enjoy these signings as they come and look forward to seeing them play for the sky blues!

I'll wait until the club officially confirm the signing.

I’d get that if we were signing only one player all summer which is a development/U23 winger from Aus.

However the window doesn’t even open until 14th June, the season only just finished last week and I’m pretty sure our recruitment team are looking at other players including some with experience.

I really don’t see how having better squad depth and more up and coming talent can be considered negative…

Spent time in Australia growing up and speaks English with an Aussie accent which caught me off guard first time I heard him interviewed on Gazetta Football Italia.

I remember seeing an interview where he said he preferred cricket to football as well, now that's a proper Aussie

I think after last time the club have taken down all the bushes and put up new fencing.

So going to need a drone to fly over Ryton.

why are we signing young Brazilian wingers from abroad with bags of potential linked with big clubs across Europe? Should be getting mark Albrighton in.

When are our fans going to learn to trust the management and scouting team? We already have Haji, Sakamoto and EMC as senior wingers. This lad would start as back up to them.

I’ve been trying a new approach and can admit I’ve finally found some sense of harmony…dont expect too much of people, our fanbase is full of cretins, and as soon as you accept that then you get less angry with the absolute dribble that people find with every development

Its genuinely quite therapeutic

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Christian vieri?

John Aloisi wasn't too bad either. Probably our last aussie.

 

[fatso]

Maybe, but the fact that he can cover LW, RW, second striker, or even AM, probably suggests that he will be on the bench at least. (Once up to speed)

Did Danny Ireland play a game?

Asked my source if this was correct

Evidently on holiday and pissed up

So there's nothing to add on this for me

Surprised didn’t chuck you a couple of bits of bait!!!!

That tends to be towards the end of the window. Im going to try and be careful not to fall for the inevitable one

John Aloisi had played for Antwerp, Cremonese and Portsmouth by the time he joined us.- 143 games 37 goals at decent levels of football.

However if they say Oscar Bobb its true trust me

 

[Hobo]

Time will tell on this one (if he has even joined). I don't think many were expecting great things when Ian Wallace or Stuart Pearce joined.

Interesting comments from Preston yday - seems like Browne playing them - thinking he was going to get large offers, realised he is isn’t and Preston offer is biggest.

Think things will start to move from next week.

Agree on experience it’s a must, but on the right deal.

 

[Otis]

Roy o’donovan scored a goal every other game in this league… this lad can’t even manage 5

5 in every other game is a bit of a big ask to be honest.

 

[Otis]

I would score 5 a game in the league

Thought you might say that. That's so American.

 

[long way home]

Risedale at Preston trying to push for an answer off Browne as a date he set for the new offer to be accepted has past. Browne sounds like he looked at his offers and flew off on his holibobs to have a think about all. Or has already decided what he is doing and didn't call Preston before the date Risedale wanted his answer.

Could be a good signing but wont be crying if he doesn't come to us. Im sure we will find out soon enough where Browne has decided to go.

Landed in the UK according to Andy Turner

we need leaders on the pitch. About three of them - Sheaf assuming he stays is one but not sure about our central defenders. No Kyle McF yet. Leaders tend to be experienced but have to have a close relationship with the manager.
