Zavon Hines in talks today (2 Viewers)

[ccfcdan]

Don't shoot the messenger but I've been told by a friend who is mates with his agent that Zavon hines travelled to Coventry today to discuss a move to us. Never been told anything like this before but my mate is saying its not a wind up. Not sure what to think of this if true as he has got a pretty bad record with injuries. I guess we will find out if this is true in the next couple of days

 

[hill83]

Worth a pop

 

[Marty]

Is he that little black lad we had from West Ham a few years?? I really hope it's not.

 

[ccfc_Tom]

If true i'd definately take him

 

[Marty]

We need & can do better.

 

[ccfcway]

Scored the same amount of goals for Cov as Nimely

 

[skybluedaze]

Nothing to lose signing him. Looks like it'll be trial and error upfront next season until the right formula is found.

 

[Otis]

Did nowt last time he was here, but more than willing to give him a second chance.

He was very quick if I remember rightly.

 

[ccfcway]

3 goals in 50 games, he should blend in well

 

[guicey15]

He's free, he's a striker, he's played for us before, he played for League One Bournemouth last season and he has a poor scoring record :thinking about:

Welcome to Coventry!

 

[Marty]

Nothing to lose signing him. Looks like it'll be trial and error upfront next season until the right formula is found.

Just the wasted money in wages and missing out on someone who actually might improve us.

 

[ccfc_Tom]

just saw he scored 1 goal in 8 for bournmouth on loan last season, maybe not

 

[ccfcway]

Nothing to lose signing him. Looks like it'll be trial and error upfront next season until the right formula is found.

Cody - 4 in 23
Hines - 3 in 50
RoD - 1 in 27
Jeffers - 1 in 32


Looks like its going to be more "Error"

 

[cstring82]

Was he at Burnley but got released due to poor discipline?

 

[Otis]

Well if say we are only allowed to bring 1 more in Marty and it's him then you may well have a point.

 

[skybluejohn]

another prolific goalscorer 3 in 50 !!

 

[ccfcway]

another prolific goalscorer 3 in 50 !!

we dont need too many goals, the defence is solid enough

 

[Sky Blue M]

Well he has bean good in the past so I hope we CAN get him

 

[Nick]

Who has he been good for? I can't really remember him from last time round.

Do we need more strikers though? I would have thought wide players and a decent CM?

 

[ccfcway]

so was Freddie Eastwood

 

[Sky Blue M]

I just think that he is the kind of striker who if we put em on a plate for him will finish them off

 

[Marty]

Maybe we are trying to get enough strikers in so they can play 1 in every 5 games, be champions no problem.

 

[hill83]

Scored a late goal in a draw with Sheffield Wednesday which kept us up.

 

[WeWillBeBack]

The lads 23 now, IMO past the age where we'll see any vast improvements. Be interesting to see what he could do with full preseason under his belt.

 

[KersleyDigs]

Similar story to Fleck really...

Capped at U21 International level, hyped after a decent run in Premier side when very young and has since tailed off.

I don't think players just lose their potential, I think with these two players it's just a case of needing more time to develop as the have not progressed as quickly as some would have hoped.

If his wages are reasonable, it's a yes from me.

Plus as has been pointed out, he kept us up a couple of seasons ago!!!!

 

[Gaz]

He is proberly the kind of player that a club on its arse with no money needs to take a gamble on.

 

[Nick]

Plus as has been pointed out, he kept us up a couple of seasons ago!!!!

We are already paying McSheffrey based on something he did years ago, we don't need another!

 

[ccfcway]

I just think that he is the kind of striker who if we put em on a plate for him will finish them off

As is Cody, and possibly Bruno, and possible RoD

The problem is, whos putting it on a plate for them ?

 

[Mary_Mungo_Midge]

Just the wasted money in wages and missing out on someone who actually might improve us.

Why not nominate someone?

 

[skybluejack10]

i just think hines needs a decent run of games under his belt. He's quick, sharp, skillful, basically another nimely, yet he would be signed perminently unlike nimely.
His goalscoring record isn't good but just look at how many appearences he's made of the bench!
we need somebody with his pace in the side and if we can wrap a deal up for him then great!
i've been hoping for us to sign this lad for a while now and he's better than ranger so if true (and i'm not gonna get my hopes up) then great!

 

[covcity4life]

id welcome him...but our issue isnt strikers imo,its making chances. midfield must step up.

 

[skybluejack10]

exactly, with strikers, no matter who they are they will convert sooner or later if they are provided by the midfielders. that's what we lacked last season. Being a club in league 1, it's not easy to attract gifted goalmachines but if we work on our midfield and attacking intent and tighten up defensively, cutting all the mistakes out we should cruise to promotion.
If only it were that simple!

 

[skybluejohn]

we dont need too many goals, the defence is solid enough

are we going to get promotion drawing 0-0 each week ?

 

[Ashdown]

Fucking hell, no thanks, surely we can come up with someone more original and with at least a goal poachers record at any level. How many more non scoring strikers do we want !!

 

[Sky Blue M]

2 people haven't got my hines/Heinz puns. They must have been really shite. : )
