Has robins confirmed we even want him?
That doesn't sound good!First of all never trust anything you read in Luton Outlaws. Trust me on that one. I can only comment on the guy who has tweeted it. He is 99% of the time right. But it looks like it will come down to personal terms. Personally 250k which is from what I've heard isn't the offer been accepted is more than enough for a league 2 striker.

That's the problem I fear that we won't match them, if we were serious we would match them or better them.If he goes Luton over CCFC if we've matched/had a big accepted then it's ok if the player don't fancy us.
Better to no now than get a unhappy unsettled player in a few months time who's not performing to his potential.
We need players that want to wear the shirt and go to battle 46 times for the badge, the fans.... yes the club are just employers but we need them united together for the challenge.

I doubt they will . but , if they got Collins , I'd imagine quite a number of season tickets would definitely be sold on the back of that signing . would be a smart move by Sisu / Fisher .Have we all gone mad? Do people really think that Sisu are going to actually spend £200,000 to sign a player? Lets get real.
They don't do things like that unfortunately!I doubt they will . but , if they got Collins , I'd imagine quite a number of season tickets would definitely be sold on the back of that signing . would be a smart move by Sisu / Fisher .

Did they? Remind me again?I think they spent more than that on a player eighteen months ago.
Jodi JonesDid they? Remind me again?
This is from 2012, reading it you'd think he'd want to come here.If he goes Luton over CCFC if we've matched/had a big accepted then it's ok if the player don't fancy us.
The Robins striker was a City season-ticket holder in his youth, as he and dad Steve graced the terraces at Highfield Road to watch the likes of Dion Dublin, Darren Huckerby and Paul Telfer fly the flag for the Midlands outfit in the Premier League.
Collins told the Swindon Advertiser : “It’s the first time I’ve ever played their first team so I’m looking forward to it.
“Obviously Coventry are a massive club and I wouldn’t want them to be in this position in League One. I think they’re definitely a Championship side, they’re a big, big club. I always look out for their results and I know a couple of players there.
Did they? Remind me again?
Turnbull would have been no way near 200k. Jodi Jones would have been closerJJ would of been a similar or higher fee...
Turnbull was a undisclosed fee too

Yes I know there was "undisclosed fees" involved in them transfers but can't believe Jones would cost anywhere near £200,000! Does anyone know the actual fee?JJ would of been a similar or higher fee...

Don't want Collins personally, he's not good enough for L1 and we're supposed to be building a team to progress from this league to the Championship.

Correct! It definitely won't be Sisu spending the money!But it won't be SISU spending the money, will it? It'll be CCFC. Or not spending it as the case may be.
Who the hell is trying to get Thomas to quit?!?How much would the signing of James Collins (if it was done!!!) help in the attempts to get George Thomas to resign?

See that Luton signed Brentford's Alan McCormack. 33 now but still a good defensive player.

Crawley Town have said striker James Collins is 'very much part of our plans'.
It was reported today that the club have turned down two six-figure transfer bids from Luton Town and Coventry.
Crawley Town: "The club’s policy is not to comment on speculation regarding our players or potential transfer targets.
"With regard to James Collins, he is a valuable member of our squad who played a big part for us last season, not least with his goal-scoring prowess.
"James has two more years left on his contract and is very much part of our plans for next season and beyond."
If there were two like for like offers on the table (or even a lightly reduced package), he would chose us. He's been a Coventry fan forever and was really unlucky not to have made it at our academy. I would have no concerns at all about him playing for the badge etc.
He might be the target man striker we need, even if he isn't everyone's cup of tea, we haven't had a decent striker in that mould for a long time.
If we have offered cash for him it would suggest that he is the priority target for Robins. And if we managed to get him I would expect us to at least make the playoffs. And it might help getting any other targets.Yeah I agree he gives his all in games and is a "horrible" striker to play against. I'm very much in the sign him up camp as he's ticks so many boxes and should we spend/reinvest any cash coming he should be the man we get.
My point about playing for the shirt was if he fancies someone else if there terms are slightly better then maybe his heart may not quite be with us. Just a hypothetical scenario. If he comes excellent, if not oh well move on to the next target.
But he has to be the no 1 summer target for that position!
