Announcement tonight?

Obviously not if we haven’t agreed a fee

Expect this to be financed in the main by BTA going to Blackburn. They came back in for him yesterday. Slightly above what we paid for him

Would take this. Sensible trading for me.

Hope we could still get a loan in maybe also.

 

[JSL]

Christian Horner has come good

If this true maybe those links to the Wycombe striker are genuine.

 

[Nick]

Christian Horner has come good

Isn't that what got him in trouble?

 

[David O'Day]

Still got Simms and Bassette

Haji, EMC, Sheaf all back within the next 2 weeks

Also to get the best of EMC we'll need to pivot to 3 up top be it 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 anyway

 

[Alkhen]

A profit in 6 months for BTA wouldn't be a disaster, I do feel like he'd come good eventually but if it meant we could secure Grimes I think I'd twist.

Only worry is how would we set up until Haji is back. I guess we havent tried Norm playing off Simms yet. I do feel we'd miss BTAs energy from the current set up, what he lacks in finesse he makes up for in running round like a nutter

Nope

Turner's popped it on Cov Live now

 

[Flying Fokker]

I think it is too early to let Thomas Asante go. We have not seen the best of him.

Taking a profit on him after the 6 months he’s had is business too good to turn down

If thats the only way though. Need greater in midfield for me.

Tbh Bassette runs round like a nutter too

Can’t see this one happening until after the game Saturday. No way they let someone of his quality leave to a team they’re playing

Could still be done. Have seen moves in past where player moves and clause inserted to miss the game. Scott Parker, Charlton to Chelsea springs to mind.

I'm 50/50 on this. If he wants to come, his head wont be in it so they may not play him

As a fan it'd be a nightmare for sure, but as the owner you can't let time escape, you've got to take £4m for an almost 30 year old rather than have someone sulking and losing value

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Swansea fans seme very bitter saying “no big club has ever come in for him, Coventry aren’t a big club”

 

[shmmeee]

BTA going leaves us short till Haji gets back.

Wonder if we go 541 until then, Saka and Rudoni wide and Grimes and Torp in the middle.

 

[Balli001]

I expect that would be the case. Agree the move in principle but it cant be come "official" til after we play them.

Coping and seething.

 

[Jimmy87]

Let’s hope he’s pushing for it as well then should make negotiations easier. Would be a great signing.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for this one, i agree it would be a great signing.

 

[shmmeee]

Christian Horner has come good

Did he tell BTA to piss off when he met him it something?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Nope

Announcement tomorrow

Legally you can't do this as once he is out player we have the right to play him, but in the past "gentleman's agreements" (which aren't legally binding) can be made not to play a player. I guessing that could be the case.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Stole from the Grimes thread

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Can’t see this one happening until after the game Saturday. No way they let someone of his quality leave to a team they’re playing

Maybe a gentleman’s agreement like Jukebox where we promise not to play him?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

If it is Grimes, i know the talks with the agent have been going on for a long time, so there's a good probability the player is wanting the move.

Might be good news if so as means we’ve already done all the hard work in regards to the contract

Looks like he wants to come then!

 

[Noble]

Blimey, since when was Coventry the club to go to for a good wage!

Yes, he missed the comma out

We’ll play similarly to how we did last season in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 with Haji and EMC as our wide players. There’ll be plenty of energy from Rudoni to chase down defences, it was often the case that our defensive shape was a 4-4-2 in the early FL days too.

 

[Hoofhearted]

Offer £4mill doug pllllllease, or £5mill and include Collins and Dasilva

Doug's trading prowess coming to the fore
