Imagine defences when simms and wright walk out

 

[SkyB]

Looks like a poor man's Bakayoko to me

20 Goals, 20 Goals Haji Wright...

 

[clint van damme]

My son told me at the weekend we were signing him, I told him he was talking bollocks, for that reason alone I hope it falls through.
Only room for one ITK in the family.

 

[skybluetony176]

Like the first name. Not so keen on the surname.

 

[Evo1883]

Last season he scored 15 goals 6 with his head .. we don't score enough from set pieces as it is

 

[baldy]

It's like we failed to get Jerry Yates and just thought "ah fuck it let's do something mental"

I‘d never heard of Yates before all the speculation - at least I know who this bloke is

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

He scores goals but isn't actually that impressive a striker.

 

[Skybluedownunder]

How familiar were you with the signings we've made so far? Not meant as a jab as I'd not heard of Van Ewijk and Sakamoto before we were linked with them and they both come highly rated, if we're bidding a decent amount for this player I'd assume the scouts have had a proper look at him and he's got an impressive record to boot

Van Ewijk was highly rated. I hadn’t heard of him prior but there was a lot of positive noise and he didn’t cost the earth. People felt we got a steal!

This guy is costing a hell of a lot and scored in the Turkish league and mixed reviews from fans who watch him, whereas this guy people want to drive him there they think they’ve got that good of a sale

Someone's morphed Peter Shilton with Alan Partridge.

£7m would be a steal for Armstrong. Didn't he go to Saints for 18m?

I thought £15 million but certainly in that region yes

Coventry City reported to have agreed to sign USA international Haji Wright

Coventry City transfer news from CoventryLive as the Sky Blues are reported to have agreed a deal for 25-year-old USA international currently playing in the Turkish top flight for Antalyaspor

Hi Andy Turner!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

How do you know what money DK has available?

I'm assuming in the worst case scenario that he hasn't put anything extra into the transfer pot and that we're relying solely on transfer revenues

Once again just because you haven't heard of him doesn't make him unknown

We don't know if we're signing him yet, and if we do I 100% trust the recruitment process. No point speculating on if he's any good or will work out, based on very limited information. The club will have done their homework.

 

[Evo1883]

I thought £15 million but certainly in that region yes

But what happens should we be promoted and Armstrong then becomes pretty much worthless .. as he was awful at Southampton

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

If this guy has come to play soccer then close the championship down. Can he play football?

I know this isn’t about Arma but blimey I’d have him back here in a heartbeat if we could

 

[fernandopartridge]

In my opinion, yes it is. Tom Cannon is highly regarded and knows the English game… this bloke I’ve never heard of

£1m to sign a player on loan is stupidity

Went through Twitter and the reaction breaks down like this:
- Antalya fans are gutted they are losing him
- Other fans of Turkish football are stunned at the price
- USA fans think he's dreadful
- Summary as a player: He doesn't often pass the eye test but still scores a lot of goals. Right place, right time kind of guy. Stern John-esque.

Well if he can find himself in the ‘right place’ at the ‘right time’ 20 odd times next season he’ll do for me.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

I was surprised when we signed Simms.

I was mega-surprised when Van Ewijk signed for us.

If this geezer signs - well - what a show of intent.

If all of these signings play to their full potential, I genuinely feel we've got a decent chance of promotion next season. At least one of the relegated teams will tank season.

What a time to be a Cov fan. Just get Gus to sign a new deal and I think that'll be the best transfer window in my lifetime.

It's utter madnesss

Why? He's not good enough for the top level and the stats Frostie shared suggest he's a poor finisher at this level

That fucking header at the start

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

11MILLION EUROS

Antalyaspor and Coventry City have reached an agreement for the transfer of Haji Wright for 9 million Euros testimonial + 2 million Euros bonus and 20% share from the subsequent sale.

Gone are the days when we didn't know we had signed some one until they had signed.

This will probably be bullshit like the rest of them.

Even if he left and were subsequently replaced this month, it's far ahead of what happened last summer.

 

[Frostie]

In terms of the profile, can absolutely see why we would see him as a good fit. Pace, power reasonable dribbler & good finisher.

I have trouble putting too much stock in the view of opposition fans considering we had similar when taking McGoldrick and Gyokeres. This guy's a full international with a World Cup and top flight experience under his belt which will inflate the price but then we're surely not making such a big move on a whim

 

[Evo1883]

Not for me

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Apparently Rangers and Southampton have both been interested in the last couple of months.

Is the fee anything close to that being reported?
