I think this is likely. We all see a lot of Championship players and focus on them but the net will be cast wide. You don’t get great value for money with top end Championship players.Maybe we can find another gem like Hamer or Boateng in one of the lesser European leagues like the Dutch or Belgian
This may be deflection. He will know that the midfield needs strengthening as well as a few back up optionsCovTel interview with Robins yesterday
'With less than a week to go before trading starts, CoventryLive asked the manager if he’s still hopeful of doing a bit of business.
“I said before that the huge turnover in players (in the summer) means we have to settle everyone in and then wait and see what’s out there, really,” he said, following the 2-0 Boxing Day victory over Sheffield Wednesday.
“I wouldn’t hold out too much for that; I wouldn’t be looking too much for new ones coming in but more to get the others bedded in and better. They are starting to get there now, but let’s wait and see.”
There is clearly a change in emphasis and urgency, but has his thinking on January recruitment changed in recent weeks following the upturn in results and form?'
So don't expect an influx of new talent. Our transfer budget may already be gone settling in some of the players we've already got.

Who has said it has gone ? And there is the loan market, sure there will be a newbie or two one way or another.If our transfer budget has gone King needs to come out and explain where the Hamer money went.
It's if he can reach his best at a level above where he's previously achieved itMore a belief that Robins would get the best out of him and he’s cheap and can fill several roles.
He has also said multiple times that the squad isn’t complete yet.This may be deflection. He will know that the midfield needs strengthening as well as a few back up options

Didn't @skyblue_55 say that Hamer's £15m was wrongly declared ?
Well he didn’t go on a free!
No but £1.5m and £15m are similar enough to be confused when reporting and substantially different in value for example. And skyblue_55 wasn't overly informative about what he knew. Maybe there is less than we were told or maybe that's another tall tale to put the opposition off. Guess we'll find out in 5 weeks time.
You think we sold him for £1.5m??
If that’s the case King needs to come out and offer to put the club up for sale.
You of all people should know to read all of a comment before putting your foot in your mouth. I didn't say we did sell him for that. I said THAT WAS AN EXAMPLE (I hope you understand that meaning ?) . I was comparing two figures and saying that reporting them and the actual value can be different. I have no idea how much was passed from club to club. Just parsing skyblue_55's comment and wondering aloud.
Stop looking for arguments where there aren't any.
Got to be careful though, didn’t you say a couple of weeks ago Sakamoto was old at 27skyblue_55 has shown absolutely nothing to say he’s got inside info on the clubs transfer dealings. To extrapolate from that to essentially “maybe we gave Hamer away for nothing” is insane.
We have cash. If we don’t spend it King needs to explain why, especially in a season of record ticket sales.
And all that in less than a year, can’t wait until he’s been here two years.Of course he doesn’t need to explain why. He paid money to buy the club. He’s relaid the pitch. Stuff has been done to the training ground and changing rooms. We probably run at a loss. Maybe he’s holding cash to make an offer to Ashley. There’s no reason at all for him to explain why £’s in may not equal £‘s out.

He’s even older now!
Be a bit late if he's signed a contract with someone else.On O'Hare - I would wait until march and if he doesn't break down offer him what he wants

If he fancies living abroad he can move just up the road to inner Birmingham.I doubt he’ll go abroad TBF
Kelly godden Moore are the three I thinkI think a lot of fans will he disappointed as can’t see us doing a lot. Will have to offload a couple first I should think but not sure who Robins will let go - more to free up space than wages.
Still think we need another centre forward option to compete with Simms. Godden just not sharp enough anymore.
And another midfielder, box to box. But as Robins always says, it has to be better than what we’ve got and it isn’t too bad at the moment. Not sure who is out there.
Would be crazy to sell Godden unless we are bringing in at least two new strikers.Don’t see Godden moving unless at least one striker comes in we need one now even if the present three stay.
Don’t put Taveres in that mix.
