Coventry City manager Steven Pressley has confirmed the club have offered a contract to an unnamed striker who has been on trial at the club.


The striker has been on trial at the club for 10 days and has impressed during his time with the Sky Blues, scoring a hat-trick during one pre-season training session.


The City manager previously stated that he was looking to bring in three strikers but today, he said he could potentially bring in as many as four.


Pressley said: "We've had a striker in for the best part of ten days on trial and he has trained exceptionally well.


"He is a player we've always liked and he is a player who is best suited to playing in a partnership up front.


"He is a terrific finisher which is crucial. We've offered him a contract and we're hoping to have a positive response.


"I've said a number of times that we want to bring in three strikers but it may well be four."

Bit of an uninspiring record but will give him a chance if true.

Was Callum Wilson inspiring this time last year ?

 

[shmmeee]

Seems to be a fairly solid 1 goal in 4 striker. Much like an ex-player of ours getting slagged off for pretty much that exact record in another thread. Would be OK with a goalscorer alongside him I guess.

Edit: He's 5'8 so he'd be taking the Wilson role I assume? Maybe he is the goalscorer.

Finally some movement again, was becoming frustrated by the lack of of incoming players

Will be a good signing in our system, hate it when people look at past records, Wilson had no previous and McGoldricks was piss poor before coming to us, in the right set up playing the right football and creating chances, goals will come for any half decent striker.

For once I agree with you. I remember the "bloody SISU going with the cheap option, an Academy kid...." threads.

TBF how many CW come along. Once in a blue moon.

No, but Callum Wilson was at the beginning of his career and had shown some potential at the end of the previous season.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

He was a very good prospect at Crewe.

Depends on how a team is set up for a striker to thrive.

 

[mark82]

Any way. Said would give him a chance. I hate writing players off before they have played for us. Just commenting that his record thus far in this league isn't great.

Out for 9 months in 2013 with cruciate ligament damage and scored 4 in 22 since the return. 3 of those were in the last 8 though. alot of our signings seem to be big injury worries which of course means a good value player if it comes off but it seems like a risk.

 

[SkyBlueScottie]

Graeme Bailey on twitter (sky journalist) says he has agreed terms with us.

At least with 1 striker we can play a 4-5-1

[covcity4life]

miller(mcqoid)

whos the 3rd man?

 

[LB87ccfc]

Miller will be a very good addition pacey good movement and can score goals when fed the right opportunities.

 

[Jack Griffin]

Who was that masked man?

 

[spider_ricoh]

Is it confirmed as Miller?

 

[dongonzalos]

Really chuffed he said in a pair
Was thinking he was considering going back to one up front

 

[Evans1883]

Sheffield United fans on Facebook seem to think highly of him tbh

 

[Greggs]

As long as we don't play him out wide!

I Don't like these 1 year deals, especially if they do well up until xmas.

 

[banal_bob]

Can anyone confirm what position he plays in please?

 

[Danceswithhorses]

I Don't like these 1 year deals, especially if they do well up until xmas.

Aren't they 1 year deals with an option for another ?

 

[mark82]

I Don't like these 1 year deals, especially if they do well up until xmas.

Wonder if it has an extra year option?

Was just as well we only had Steve Elliot on a 1-year. Shame we didn't do the same with ROD, Bell etc

 

[skybluebeduff]

It's not reported in the CT.

 

[skybluebeduff]

It's not a problem, but it could potentially be if he bangs in say 15 goals by Jan, he could talk to anyone after that period.

And we've seen it so many times recently..

Quick lads, let's squeeze a negative out of a positive.
