[SlowerThanPlatt]

Blackburn have lost their captain Lenihan to Boro, Rothwell to Bournemouth and inevitably Brereton-Diaz. Shades of our 15/16 season…

Charlie Cresswell going to Millwall by the looks of it, another one I'd like to have seen here on loan, Millwall doing some great business so far

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

If his contact expires tomorrow then how were we trying to get him on loan?

 

[Frostie]

Yeah, doesn't make sense. Although it was only the Telegraph saying it would be a loan & we all know their record of accuracy.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Believer also clarified it was a defender loan signing from a top 4 club, have the club mistakenly thought he was available for loan?

 

[Nick]

Unless it was one of those where the player signs a new contract and goes out on loan straight away?

 

[Frostie]

Plausible but seems unlikely they would let his contract run down that low.

 

[Terry_dactyl]

If his contract has run down why did Burnley pay a fee? Compensation?

 

[Deity]

It’s part of the development of player rules that were brought in to help protect clubs that invest in academies for years only to see players not sign new contracts at 19-20 and leave the club for nothing. The compensation isn’t normally huge.

@Skybluebeliever was the Egan-Riley move that fell through a loan or permanent

 

[Hobo]

Meanwhile across Coventry, preconceived outrage is waiting to be posted........

 

[Grendel]

He was out of contract so you know the answer

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Strange that I can be so disappointed about not signing a player I know nothing about.

 

[SleepyGinger]

He was out of contract so you know the answer

So what’s the talk of Burnley paying 350k for him

My understanding was the club were possible looking at both the defenders that have just gone to Burnley
They were also unsure if Man City would offer new terms I think

Could they not have asked?…

Any update on the other one that Robins said was ready to "pop over the line"

Kane Coventry U23s > Coventry first team

 

[long way home]

Going on what MR saud the other day some players contracts run to 1st of July. That date must have meaning as he wouldn't of said it, could be talks are with players and signings will come from Friday onwards. But who knows really other than MR himself clubs situation changes at any given day and looks like being quiet is the best policy unless you have all done

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Compensation presumably.

Van Hecke returning to Brighton will also be a big loss - was their POTS if I recall correctly. Khadra was highly rated also.

 

[mark82]

Compensation presumably.

Which suggests they offered a new contract on at least equal terms.

The one from Oxford that they paid nearly 2 million for?

Correct.

A little known fact as well is that out of contract players continue to be paid by their current club up until end of July unless they sign elsewhere in the meantime. Another reason why some business happens so late.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Not certain but i think all players contracts finish on June 30th there may be that dont but that is my understanding.

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

I think I’d quite like to see Michael Hector or Barbett on a permanent and on loan probably out of our budget but Mads Sorensen or Jarrad Branthwaite

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

The one from Oxford that they paid nearly 2 million for?

Would think he meant Harwood-Bellis we don’t have £2m to spend on anyone

 

[KenilworthSkyBlue]

Which suggests they offered a new contract on at least equal terms.

Well they would've probably known he was in demand therefore it would've been pretty stupid not to.

Correct for PL and EFL
Non-League finish at the end of the season

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Sorensen is firmly part of the first team squad at Brentford and established himself in the 11 towards the end, good suggestion with Branthwaite think a lot of Championship clubs would be interested in taking him

 

[PUSB-We_are_going_up]

Has he? I checked his stats on Transfermarkt and saw 11 games and 892 minutes (in the PL) so assumed that it was spaced over the season, if so then definitely out of range

Was supposedly set to return to Bordeaux before they were relegated to the French third tier.

I'd imagine he'll look again in Europe for his next club.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Yes he started 5 out of the last 6 games I think and against some big clubs

 

[Frostie]

100%, excellent defender.
