[Winny the Bish]

And yet he's gone to Benfica on loan?

That’s being made permanent in the summer.

Well it's certainly ambitious and unexpected. Hope we can find another winger/forward in a similar vein

I’d be surprised if we don’t.

 

[Diogenes]

I’d be surprised if we don’t.

Anyone else on the radar?

 

[wingy]

I’d be surprised if we don’t.

Seems like a closed shop of elites once you try shopping there, until the next one.

 

[wingy]

Oh well two Ben's may have caused confusion.

 

[Calista]

 

[Perryccfc]

Benjamin Rollheiser. We had a 8-9m bid accepted.

If this is true, that is crazy. King isn’t pissing about.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Fucking wild if true.

 

[Larry Fan]

Boss Hogg may not be the brightest but agrees but boss Hogg knows wage structures exist

what

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

Doesn’t make any sense tbh. Just give O’hare what he wants

O'Hare wants to wait till the summer and assess his options. It's not a money thing.

 

[wingy]

It's the here and Now, not at the end of the season?

 

[long way home]

I think Doug is looking way past O hare, he has a deal on the table and Doug is take it or leave mood with the player.

It seems, he has bigger fish to fry.

Coventry City missed out on a stunning deal for Argentinian winger Benjamin Rollheiser despite offering a stunning £9 million.



The Sky Blues are set to lose out to Portuguese giants Benfica after weeks of trying to land the Estudiantes star.



Coventry bid £6.5 million up front and an extra £2.5 million on promotion but Benfica came up with more guaranteed cash.

Stunning and stunning!

Joking aside in stunned at this

What, so Nixon did know something
Who’dve thought

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Some big clubs at Europe were after him. Who knows if it’s true or not but does match up that we’re after another winger.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

looks like Sunderland were after him in summer as well according to Nixon,

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Nixon is surely bullshitting there

 

[Tommo1993]

Not buying it. Sorry Nixon lovers.

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

I assume Nixon gets all his info from agents and he can say pretty much whatever he wants as the club is never going to confirm or deny. Suspect any interest we had would only have been superficial, if we had any at all but to be honest, this kind of story probably doesn't do us any harm, being spoken about in the same breath as quality players.

 

[Winny the Bish]

I was told the same name after the game last night. Way I was told it was we had a bid accepted then his agents offered him round and Benfica jumped in.

What’s your logic for assuming we weren’t really that interested ?

"What is a Coventry" is probably what the player said to his agents

Heard any other names?

 

[Winny the Bish]

Heard any other names?

Nah. I’m not an ITK and don’t plan on begging a friend of a friend for more info.

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

I'm not assuming anything, I'm just saying Whatever the truth, Nixon can say whatever he wants because he knows the club won't confirm or deny either way.

 

[Saddlebrains]

First my man ever heard of this and also said 'lol'

Id file it under Nixons imagination again

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Ambitious target indeed. If his agent is offering him around like that after a bid was accepted, the player probably wasn’t interested.

That’s an agent doing agent things …..

 

[Levship20]

That’s an agent doing agent things …..

Would rather have 3 x 2m players personally. Or 2 and an improved deal for COH. Always risky taking players from 1/2 way around the world in case they find it difficult to settle.

 

[procdoc]

@Saddlebrains should we expect anything early this week?

 

[SleepyGinger]

Just got wind of who the “ambitious” signing is. He’s gone to a team who played in the champions league group stage this season.

We bid £8.5million.

Considering this was posted last night I’d say there was definitely something in it

 

[Saddlebrains]

@Saddlebrains should we expect anything early this week?

Not sure about early this week but yes this week

Expect some outgoings to be finalised too
