Brozek deal seems to be edging closer if my source is anything to go by. Same guy who gave me the Blair Adams news

Heard a rumour on another forum that they're close to signing him. Gutted if true
I'm o my phone at the moment but was mentioned on the football forum by a county fan. Nowhere near a done deal yet though.
Your source is a Notts County fan then?
On Blair Adams
Still can't figure out if you are trolling or not :thinking about:
Yea it's just the player he has linked us to was a bit out of the blue.Fry said earlier on in pre-season that Pugh might sign for us and I am sure he also broke the news about Blair Adams to Notts County, among many others, usually the man is spot on.

Pawel Brozek?
It is also understood that Swindon would only accept an ‘ridiculous offer’ which would appear to be price the Sky Blues out of the market.
Well they aren't going to accept a piss poor offer are they! How many times have we spout out the ridiculous offer and he's gone the next day, come on Cov let's go make a statement of intent! Back at the Ricoh, signing rival teams strikers, actually meaning business for once and not just making up the numbers
thats us out, they want an "offer"

Coventry City are reportedly lining up a third offer for Swindon Town striker Michael Smith ahead of tonight’s 11pm transfer deadline.
City have already had two approaches for Smith’s services rejected by The Robins in this window, but are hopeful of beating the deadline with a third offer.
Earlier this month Swindon Chairman, Lee Power, revealed City had made two approaches but they “weren’t what we needed. They [goalscorers] are very hard to find so it would have to be a silly offer for us to listen.”
Smith, 22, was named in The Robin’s starting lineup against the Sky Blues on Saturday, but was replaced just before kick off by Conor Waldon after suffering a reoccurrence of the injury which had threatened to rule him out of the clash beforehand.
The 6 foot 4 target man would be seen as a direct replacement for Leon Clarke who left the club to rejoin Wolves in January, as well as providing stiff competition for new recruits Josh McQuoid, Marcus Tudgay and Simeon Jackson.
Despite only joining Swindon for an undisclosed fee, believed to be an initial £100,000 from Charlton, in January, Smith finished the 2013/2014 season with 12 goals in 22 appearances for Mark Cooper’s side.
Swindon today completed the signing of striker John Obika from Tottenham, but have insisted he has been bought in to play alongside Smith, rather than as his replacement.
Love to be wrong bit this is a story out of nothing from a journalist speculating on slow news day for us when swindon have signed another striker.
"Current and former England Internationals, Wayne Rooney and Emile Heskey have been spotted at Coventry City's, Ryton Training complex late in the evening. One lucky fan managed to grab a picture with both players who have a sensational history in England"

Just as i was getting my hopes up!Love to be wrong bit this is a story out of nothing from a journalist speculating on slow news day for us when swindon have signed another striker.
Over at Coventry we have received an update from our man at the Ricoh Arena (yes, we can call him that now - they're back!) Andy Turner: "All sources at City are singing from the same hymn sheet and that's that nothing's doing at the club tonight.
Despite attempts by Steven Pressley to draft in a target man, it seems he will turn to the loan market when the window opens later this month unless he becomes aware of a free agent that fits the bill.
He's also looking to recruit a centre-half who, along with the striker, will "complete the jigsaw," of his summer recruitment drive. City currently have a former Premier League/Championship defender on a week-long trial with a view to signing. The unnamed triallist is a free agent and played an hour for the Sky Blues Under-21s in a 2-1 defeat at Brentford this afternoon.
As for midfielders Carl Baker and Adam Barton - deemed surplus to requirements by Pressley - it looks as though the pair will remain at the club for the foreseeable future. Both are contracted to Coventry until next summer and there doesn't appear any sign of them moving on tonight.
It had been thought the club may make them offers to pay up the remainder of their contracts, as they did with Gary McSheffrey and Steven Jennings who left 'by mutual consent' on deadline day last year, but nothing has happened so far this evening."
