[Deity]

I think you've answered your own question.

He went to QPR instead

It’ll be nome of the players that have been mentioned, remember we were after billing and ended up with assante, we‘ll get what we can afford, that Barnsley midfielder

Billing was never happening.

Billing was never happening.

It was one of those big names we tried to sign to show the fans that we’re trying but had no intention, then signed rudoni

 

[Deity]

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere but I see Stoke fans seem to think they are trying to sign Luis Binks.

We signed Rudi early in the window and we’re not linked with Billing until the final week of the window, which grew arms and legs because of a comment made on That Cov Pod.

 

[mmttww]

you’ll get all his fans jumping on you

FYI - you can just use Grindr for that, m8.

 

[procdoc]

We must be the slowest club at bringing in players. If somehow we don’t sign a midfielder this window then heads need to roll.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Eccles?

Eccles Torp Rudoni is fine as a midfield. We do need more depth but it's not "the worst midfield in the league by a distance" as one overexcited poster called it.

That midfield is about as physically weak as you can get. It would get bullied every single week

It does anyway. With sheaf there

Oh ffs seriously

It’s not even that. You really don’t see thundering tackles anymore. It’s about interceptions and pressing to force errors. We are not very good at that either though. We also don’t track runners well.

I've just been reading how Sheffield United are in for the possibility of getting Luke Woolfenden on loan from Ipswich. Aged 26 and market value £2m. Sounds like he would do for us. Wages cant be massive

 

[Ccfc_Addy]

There are many reasons why this won’t happen but for one;

Signings announced before the match just don’t happen anymore. I think our last one was Chris Burchill and that was because we had kept it quiet for 24 hours and registered him in time to play.

"Before the game" as in it'll happen at some point over the next few days rather than announced prior to the game starting

simply not true

 

[clint van damme]

It's another cognitive dissonance classic from SBT

"Sheaf has been shit all season, he needs dropping"

"Sheaf injured, that's it, we're getting relegated"

Not really, (though the relegation bit is OTT).

When you're short in an certain area losing a player hurts and puts pressure on the others that play there, even if the missing player is out of form/shite.

we didnt sign any of the players we were linked with , they all went to other clubs who could afford them, we ended up scraping league 1 for players ,

 

[CCFCAnalysis]

That’s not the case.

Bournemouth enquired about Simms. Some conversation about Billing whilst it was being discussed.

Yes but Rudoni signed well before Billing was linked.

Rudoni signed on the 20th of June and Billing was linked late August

Jack Rudoni: Coventry City sign Huddersfield Town midfielder

Coventry City make Huddersfield Town midfielder Jack Rudoni their third summer signing on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.

Philip Billing

24mins on… virtually over the line apparently a deal for the Dane.

So your claim we were linked with Billing then settled for Rudoni falls down over the timeline.

And we knew Rudoni was coming end of April.

yeah, we failed to sign any of our cdm targets but rudi wasn't a panic buy because of this

we simply fucked and didn't sign any cdms

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Just read we've been in talks with Blackburn for Kitching past week, that's according to their paper.

Makes sense given the lack of game time.

We would need a new CB, especially if Lati moves on as well.

Needed a new one anyway, if lati and kitching go we need at least 2 if not 3

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

With Binks, Kitching and Lati going are we going to have any Centrebacks left or are we just going to play Thomas on his own

 

[False9]

We have 4, we don't need more than that. It should be one in, one out for CB.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

We have 4, we don't need more than that. It should be one in, one out for CB.

Especially if the plan is a back four. If it’s a back five, would want another one to come in personally

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

If lati and kitching go we’ll have 2 CB’s left? Unless we have 2 more nobody knows about

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Hopefully we get in Holding if Kitching does go, we need a leader at the back, someone who don't just crumble and shit their pants when the opposition break on us, think if we get a commanding CB the defence will be alot tighter and will give confidence to the rest of the back line

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Still would say if Kitching or Binks went, I’d go for Lindsay from Preston

That would be a terrible replacement
