Transfer targets (42 Viewers)

Fadz was literally in the team every week until his mum died. I don't see the huge rush to get him out. I know we've got Lati/Binks so he's 5th/6th in line but he's a pro and he's served us incredibly well and of course his time was always running out for us.

Anyways, January is always shite, the only teams who are busy are those dramatically failing and panic buying. If you aren't signing anyone, essentially you're doing alright.

Captain and Vice captain are going to be two of your higher earners.

Indeed

Agreed, we still need a forward option if we want to compete though imo

I mean there’s wingers out there who could definitely make an impact

We’ve just bid 9 mil on a winger I doubt 6 months of Fadz and Kelly’s wages are a sticking point here

Is it actually factual we bid 9 million though

Turner said we had solid interest.

 

[Skyblue_CP]

Oscar Bobb deal is progressing nice

Heard anything else if you’re not on the wind up?

 

[procdoc]

I've got a solid interest in Michelle Keegan, doesn't mean I stand a chance of going out with her!

We didn't

I agree. You’ve not got a chance with her!

 

[Cheylesmore ITK]

We didn't

Deal up to 8.5m

There was interest though.

He’s obviously on the wind up, he started for city Friday

 

[SleepyGinger]

We didn't

Is that from the same source who said we were interested in this Alex Lind?

 

[CoventryUSA]

Nothing linking him to Cov, but I do wonder what the staff thinks of Duncan McGuire. Reported offers over the last month from Wednesday, Blackburn, and a couple of continental clubs as well.

Was excellent in his first MLS season. Great in-the-box movement and classic poacher #9. Play style reminds me a lot of Godden but with a bigger frame. Orlando has a history of pulling strikers out of university and quickly developing them. Did the same with Daryl Dike (West Brom) and Cyle Larin (Mallorca). However, with all the money spent on Wright and Simms in the summer, I just don't think they reach down and spend the $$ necessary though.



Tom Bogert (the MLS/American version of Fabrizio) on his situation.

We've covered this twice keep up

You did mug yourself off tbf, might have to own that one until the end of the window at least.

Here we go!

Young development striker Tom Costello is set to leave City this week. The 20-year-old joined the Sky Blues from Wigan in the summer of 2022. CoventryLive understands that the player has been on trial with Galway United of the League of Ireland Premier Division and is expected to complete his move on a free transfer before Thursday's transfer deadline.

 

[Robinshio]

kelly and Fadz over the next 5 months would cost a max of £500k even if we have been mugged off
We need to win a couple of cup games, and that is paid for several times over before we even take a potential quarter final into account

I’ve heard its now up to the player as to whether he’s coming now, agreed a loan fee of 1m, has to feature at least 15 times between now and end of the season, Man City covering all wages unless that clause isnt met then we pay back 75% of his wages to Man City. But as I say ball’s in his court now, and he is gonna take his time to think it over because other clubs have heard that he’s potentially available now and are sniffing, so we have to hope his head isn’t turned, but as I say progressed nicely

I bloody hope not. Kelly has been at best a squad member for the bulk of the last 18 months ….

For arguments sake what happens in that scenario if he gets injured and isn't available to play 15 games? From what you have said we would then have to pay £1m & 75% of his wages!

Signed a new deal as a Championship captain tho

 

[Nuskyblue]

Not to mention all the pay rises for promotions that would have been written into his contract(s).

theres no way robins would guarantee him 15 games, who is he dropping when we are playing so well with no injuries?

Tbf we play with ten men when Godden is picked so what difference would it make?

 

[Martin180]

2 things here

1. Surely nobody believes we are signing Bopp
2 . If we do surely nobody believes we have a player good enough to keep him out the side

Not that it’s remotely true. But Wright to CF and drop Godden/Simms. Or the freedom to sell O’Hare.

Its regarding availability, if he was injured or unavailable to play them for a reason outside of football the clause wouldnt come into effect of course

 

[shmmeee]

Making Wright work as a CF makes sense in a lot of ways: he’s basically our top scorer, a LW is generally easier to get than a CF.
