you used to be in love with hansen?
cargill looked good here, if we need another cb he could be worth looking at
oztumer is skillful yes,only blackbutrn a better prospect than us out of those interested though due to their manager style of football and higher league
thanks!
some interesting possibilities on frees
Sidwell
Baily Cargill
Adam Hammill
Matt Mills
Darren Bent
Chris Baird
Jason Shackell
Martin Cranie
Tim Cahill
Nedum Onuoha
Caolan Lavery
James Hanson
Erhun Oztumer
well i tried to put a mix of really old and those that still arugbly got more to give
some of them are 30-31, could do a job
likes of bent sure very old but just put a few notable names down
i am not saying sign anyone for the sake of itNot keen on any of them apart from Oztumer. We've got a young, growing squad. We don't want to add expensive over-the-hill free agents for the sake of it. Had enough Clinton Morrisons and Yakubus for a lifetime. Would rather look at players who have stood out in L2 this season IMO
You said that in league 2 and was wrong.
Not really. His contribution to points in terms of goals over 46 games was minimal. He scored goals against Newport and arguably Swindon that won us points.
The stark reality is of McNulty wasn’t scoring all the goals from the forward line we’d have struggled to finish mid table.
Exeter contained the Lincoln forward line in the play offs easily and Biamou was totally ineffective as well against their back line. He scored goals (Notts county and Swindon aside) against teams at the lower end of the league, usually off the bench and when the result was already determined.

Hanson you got to play 442 with wingers feeding him, ball to feet isn’t his way and his style is not quite MR way so I’m basing it on what fits the way he sets up.
If MR changes his approach slightly then yes, but I don’t see it that’s why I say Jayden Stockley is a better player who would fit in to the way we play. He can play the Hanson way and the way MR likes.
Hanson will probably go Bolton.

Sell a few more season tickets and Maddison sells who knows , we should more than match that figureExeter signed Stockley for £100k last season (a club record, Tisdale’s second signing with a fee too since 2006) and I doubt we’d have the resources to put forward an acceptable bid.
Would be right at the top of my list, excellent player! Stockley would also be near the top of my list if we are in a position to pay fees, he won pretty much every single aerial battle on Monday.Erhun Oztumer scored 15 goals from 45 appearances in a poor Walsall side this term. Bit surprised they are letting him go. Sign him up Robins!
I am prepared to judge Biamou the same as McNulty, Bayliss, Shipley and Kelly. How they finished the season, not how they started. Biamou is worth having in the squad even in League 1.
Anyway Robins got us promoted not you....oh yes you campaigned for him to be sacked....taxi for Grendel.
The single biggest indication of how much Max improved this season is the increasingly desperate changing of the measurement you use to dismiss him with, in order to try and save face. It's hilarious. He doesn't work defenders, he doesn't win headers, he doesn't make the right runs, he doesn't score, no-one would sign him, he's a pub player.Not really.

He’s never going to be good enough. He doesn’t work defenders he has little physical impact
No team would get promoted with s centre forward like biamou. It will yin ther end cost Robins his job if he persists with him
It’s not the same argument as biamou I believe wouldn’t score goals in Luton’s team either as he’s nowhere near the standard required for this league.
Biamou never wins aerial duals - another urban myth.
Disagree. I think he’s one the poorest players I’ve ever seen. He never holds a ball up and is utterly abject.
And after proving you wrong about all those things, you're still persevering except now you're down to.... goals that directly won points.the worst number 9 in my memory

It also says JCH returned to parent club...
Beavon? don't tell me hes contracted for another year! should cut him a deal to leave.
He had to return to potentially enter negotiations with Rotherham. However:
READ | Millers set to release six players
has been released by Rotherham as expected when we signed him. I expect we will enter negotiations shortly.

A selection of your 200 posts on him:

“Your Taxi has been called Robins” wasn’t it!?
Taxi For Grendel! A League 2 worthy supporter if there ever was one
To be honest, Biamou was shite till JCH turned up and kicked his arse for him.
And mcnulty was shite till jones got injured and we were forced to play to mcnulty’s strengths.
The rest as they say, is history.
He hasn’t proved me wrong though has he. His goal scoring record has been incredibly poor. Taking out games to try and improve stats is laughable.
Coventry fans are a strange bunch - some fans side with players, make ludricous statements about their ability and ignore others.
This argument is a rehash of 12 months ago when I equally didn’t know what I was talking about when a certain other player who was our star player apparently was actually useless and a hinderence - as I kept saying. Same about a certain left back who according to some will play in the championship one day.
Keep obsessing with mediocrity if you wish. It’s your choice and it’s my choice to say I’d rather we don’t have him for another season featuring in the team.
Which is pretty much the same thing if your job is to score.McNally wasn't shit at all just wasn't scoring.
Strange question when you consider he’s the only Coventry number 9 we’ve seen in division 2.Still think he is the worst Coventry number 9 you've ever seen? Genuine question.
No it wasn’t if you actually read what I said.

Sad to hear.A very good goalkeeper with lots of League experience has just been released by Dagenham & Redbridge as part of their desperate efforts to avoid financial meltdown
Marc Cousins won player of the year last year and won't be short of interested clubs
He's definitely worth a look
Don't know if he has anything lined up
Everyone without time left on their contract was released
The manager has gone together with all the coaches and the Academy has closed
No I didn’t campaign for him to be sacked - the thread didn’t say that
Well said.I have to admit before I start I am a max sympathiser.
Let’s just agree to disagree, max took half a season to find his feet. He was thrown in at the deep end through circumstances, and struggled to adjust.
If you can’t see he was a much better player at the end of the season then there is no point discussing it.
If he improved that much last season who is to say he can’t kick on from here ?
Not any of us on here, Robins will make the decision and we should back that decision.
Look on the bright side, if he bombs and is useless this season, all the max haters can spend all summer saying “ I told you so “
