Julien Dacosta - CONFIRMED (4 Viewers)

[Colin Steins Smile]

Excellent to get the players in early, so the coaching team can work with them through pre-season.
I hope everyone gives these players time to adjust, as with Dabo last season he dived into lots of challenges early and picked up a few bookings, but by the end of season he'd tempered his tackles...still uncompromising, but better timed

I just found this from a game v Valenciennes in September: Valenciennes FC - Chamois Niortais (1-1) / Résumé - 2019/2020

Not a great advert: he falls over trying to defend a cross into the box early on and then picks up a second yellow for a wild lunge from which Valenciennes equalised.

He will fit in well with Kastaneer in front of him!

If DaCosta can cover both RB and LB, I can see Mason being loaned out next season and another LB drafted in.

Showed promise at the start of the season but after he lost his spot to McCallum he was never the same.

 

[The Great Eastern]

Je ne comprends pas

Are we signing him as well ?

 

[Seb]

Anybody notice his instagram story has him staying at the hotel at the Ricoh? Clutching at straws it could mean something...

 

[jordan210]

This is what his agent posted. I wonder how many people will read to much into it

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Perhaps I’m reading into this too much, but the emphasis on him being able to play left back is interesting.

Have we ever had our transfers predicted so accurately so far?

The stories about Hamer and DaCosta broke before we were confirmed champions, right?

I'm guessing that as not many sides are active in the market right now then any activity is going to be picked up.

 

[robbiethemole]

Fuck me!!! We're starting to act like a proper football club again, welcome back City............and welcome Julien DaCosta. Hopefully there are a couple more to come in, the lad from Wolves and some unknown lad from Villa we've never heard of??. I'm feeling really optimistic for the new season and if we're back at CV6 that would be the cherry on the icing.

What level is league2 in France compared to are we talking championship or league 1?

What do you mean? Clearly proud of himself and his client.



Edit - oooooh do you mean the ricoh arena location?

Anyone else a little concerned that the scarf says 'Coventry FC'?
When Hamer used it in the photo op, i kind of see how that could have been overlooked, but Dacosta has the same one round is neck and in this day and age it's just something i would think someone would have picked up on?

Looking at the photos suspect they were all done on the same day and they've just split the announcements over two days.

The club have addressed this conspiracy theory. The scarves were left over from 18 month old stock and all that was available at the time.

You've been drinking the ̶R̶e̶d̶ ̶B̶u̶l̶l̶ Kool AId That is exactly what they would say

U wot m8 ?

 

[Bugsy]

U wot m8 ?

Think he said....
I’m happy to have signed for Coventry and I’m in a hurry to wear the Sky Blue jersey in the Championship and make the support proud.”

.....PUSB

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

Good interview. Speaks well.

I'm a bit worried about the "passage of bones" and the blood clots, but I think it's save to say that Youtube translate may have got things wrong...

 

[robbiekeane]

Nice message. Can't be easy going on video to give a message in what's clearly not first language. Definitely thought he was the salary was good though first time of watching.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

You and Jim Brown on Twitter. Club replied to say something to the effect of “it’s just a scarf”

Yeah well, you know, "it's just a football club". It's not like getting the name right is important.

Supply from Wellesbourne market no doubt!

I was thinking the signings were at the Ricoh and that was all the CCFC stuff left there.

Didn't we leave a statue and some bricks with peoples names on aswell?

Not as easy to grab for a photo op though.

I remember his performance last season against Niort - he was fucking shite.

 

[cc84cov]

Squad player this one I feel

 

[mrtrench]

If we sign many more frenchies, we'll have to change the song:

Chantons ensemble,
Allez Sky Blues,
Si nous chantons ensemble,
nous ne perderons jamais,
Tottenham et Chelsea,
United et tout le monde,
Ils ne nous battrons pas,
Nous nous battrons jusqu'à ce que le jeu soit gagné

 

[robbiethemole]

MR says we've been following him for months and you think he's just a squad player, really?
