Colby Bishop as the additional striker? certainly done well during his career so far.

Doesn't fit what we need, we need and robisn has implied he is looking for pace in the additional forward options we bring in.

good striker of the ball but not much else. He is a league 1 striker all day long. Good player but that’s his ceiling

Anyone want to start a Ronnie Edwards rumour ?
Looks the bollocks

Peterborough do produce good players, only 20 so fits the bill.

Produce as in buy them cheap off other teams, improve them and sell them on? Edwards fits this definition as he was at Barnet until he was 18.

 

[Chris1987]

Totally pissed off with lazy journalism such as this

UPDATED: 2 players who could realistically join Coventry City in the coming weeks

Coventry City have had a busy summer transfer window to date with star men Viktor Gyokeres and Gustavo Hamer moving on.

Who the fuck pays people to copy this kind of shit from other sources ?

Their chairman MacAnthony is certainly a tough negotiator.

We could do with a chairman like that …..

He likes to think so

He is on record that he considered buying ccfc, not sure if that was pre-sisu or after.

If there's one position we won't be spending any more transfer fees on it's up front, the money is definitely needed at LCB and central midfield. A loan from the top flight will be quite sufficient for the 4th striker

Agree it doesn’t make sense so make a permanent signing up top , a loanee plus Obikwu is sufficient

We do normally have four established strikers, we did last season, could do it with a loan but then there’s pressure to play him from his parent club. Be interesting to see where MR goes with this one.

We have already invested a very large sum in that position to replace Gyo, having lost Hamer we need a similar investment in the middle. If there's change left over for an up and coming 4th striker then sure, but the other positions matter more at the moment.

It’s a weird one the loan market , last season you got the impression with Norton-Cuffy we had to play him but with Wilson-Esbrands we didnt

Probably because BNC was getting game time at Rotherham and they wanted to ensure that continued

I think we had to play Norton-Cuffy because Dabo wasn't fit to play.

Robins has 15million of the Hamer money to spend more than enough to buy quality and if he can I’m sure he will.

He doesn't. His former club got a sell on fee for a start.

 

[TomRad85]

And how do we convince a Premier League prospect and his club to come to Cov and be third choice?

I think people on here get a bit too hung up on what number 'choice' someone is. With a higher quality squad we'll see more rotation and more players getting good minutes off the bench.

Perhaps, but if you have a decent '4th' striker, and at any point MR reverts to one up top, it won't be as easy to maintain a happy camp/team spirit, with 3 potentially twiddling their thumbs most weeks. A bit like having 3 decent keepers at this level. If we play 2 up top regularly, then you can just about get away with it, with rotation (plus the obvious occasional injury).

Has all the Gyokeres money gone then ?

You said 15 million of the hamer money

Aye, it's a 46 game season everyone will play a decent part

 

[shmmeee]

Yes

 

[Saddlebrains]

Simon Moore's an interesting one.

Would have thought someone would have come in for him by now but evidently not

We will be trying to give him away eventually or loan I would think

he's on really a lot more a week than other clubs will give him so not sure he really wants to leave.

 

[Mr Panda]

Wonder if Tommy Doyle is worth exploring on loan? Sheffield United obviously have Hamer now and are apparently in talks with Tom Davies.

 

[Winny the Bish]

Carney Chukweumeka potentially to leave Chelsea on loan after they sign Caicedo and Lavia. Would be a cracking addition for a year.

Teams will be queueing up for him, although I've heard from an ITK that Clive Eakin has tried to veto any move.

They may be but we are likely to be quite high up that list
