I think wages are the big stumbling block. He was linked with Brighton and Millwall but I doubt either club would pay him the reputed £8k a week he was on here plus he will want a fee for joining as a free. The worm is definately turning in football and the Bosman grave train may finally stop for all bar the elite players.
Well that's just not true is it.

based on last season no if you went by his potential then 50/50 depending on his wages no more than 4k as i don't like him but i know he can do the job in league 1

Poor old Sammy Clingan. He's made some bad decisions in his career, hasn't he.
I'm not saying a transfer to Coventry was one, but going in the press when he signed for us and saying "I want to play in the Premier League and Coventry are my best bet" and then having to play at Norwich's promotion party. I'll never forget Cararies fans chanting "It could've been you"

Don't look back. He was very good a few years ago ( people seem to have very short term memories as City fans or football fans in general ) but last season didn't deliver.
I think we need to move on from that team, and to be fair we've replaced a lot of them.

I would have him back like a shot. However, he was scapegoated by our fans despite
1) being played out of position all year, he is not a holding midfielder. He is a right sided passer who moves the ball to others. He is not suited for the role he played as he is mobile but not a great tackler.
2) hated the diamond that Thorn adopted and found the lack of pace in the side nullified his passing ability. No width, no movement from others.
3) was forced to nursemaid kids, Bigi and Thomas, and deadweight Deegan. Played Ok a few times with Norwood.
Name me a midfielder, apart from Wise, who our fans have liked in the Championship years?
A thankless task playing midfield for Coventry.
All the shortcomings of the rest of the team get blamed on the midfield.

I would have him back on a reasonable wage, not as good as he thinks he is an not worth what he wants paying

Performances last season wouldn't imply that he has a lot to offer at Championship level.

Sounds like he was awful last year. As I only moved to the country late last year, I followed the city from sky sports, bar the two games k got to, he was injured, so I have nowt opinion on his performances. However, he is usually the last surviving player on my Cov Football Manager games...

I thought he was out injured at end of April with a long term injury. If so he will only just be back training and will need to prove fitness. Someone in the Championship will take him on.
