25/26 January Transfer Window (14 Viewers)

[Ccfcisparks]

Esse would be a great signing.

I like pirou but don't think we need him unless a striker is sold.

More than confident that Simms and wright add at least 5 goals each to their tally before end of season

One more winger and a centre mid possibly I'm happy. 2-3 signings overall

5 in 22 games would be disappointing. Piroe can cover Rudoni also

What happened to Manneh from Mjallby, thought it was a done deal?

I think there are many clubs after him, agent will get the best deal which will take a while. Also rumours that Portsmouth had somewhat agreed a deal back in the Summer but he sure as hell won’t be going there.

Think his agent and the club are messing us about so we’ve probably moved on

 

[Cally Fedora]

I don’t think we are going to be signing Piroe but I find it incredibly odd that people wouldn’t want him. Proven championship goalscorer and experience of promotion.

It’s more about squad balance. When BTA is back (Jan) where does Piroe play? If he does play what happens to the squad dynamic. I’m sure we have plans elsewhere which I would prioritise.

There are no guarantees BTA comes back and hits form straight away. Whoever is playing better starts. BTA has shown he can play on the wing, down the middle in the 10.

What other plans do we have? The key thing thats faltering is our attack

Looks like his agent is still beavering away trying to get the biggest deal possible. Like when we "agreed" to sign Stamenic.

To be fair I think the big plus for Piroe would be his link up play. Something which isn’t really Haji or Simms biggest strength which would enable other in our squad. I think on loan it would be a clever pick up

 

[covcity4life]

How many followers does he have? I don't have the app

[SkyBluePower]

Add the above to the original Guardian story ( almost direct from Doug) and the fact that John Percy is fairly reliable, it feels like we are not hanging about here and that this is the most proactive we have been since we sold Vic.

 

[Sick Boy]

Hadn't seen this - Coventry to back Lampard with transfer funds in January and keen to extend contract

 

[TomRad85]

Go on then Doug. Stick another one to the doubters.

 

[Sbarcher]

Just had a bit of sex wee!

Romain Esse is a name doing the round this morning.

 

[Deity]

When we see rumours from multiple websites check the source because most of them are just repurposing one single websites story.

The Esse is a classic. The story is originally ran by a very credible journalist and then multiple other websites are running it but it’s still based on that one journalist tweet.

Multiple sources doesn’t mean it’s any more credible in the modern world.

Well yes because its been reported by a national journalist lol

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

I hadn’t seen the reports and just shared what had been buzzing on the group chat!

 

[SleepyGinger]

We wont sign Piroe. Someone is going to pay a ridiculous loan fee and possibly an obligation to buy permanently. Can see a Leicester or a Birmingham panic buying.

Well yes but the more credible websites would only quote more serious sources- it’s when you can’t find a genuine source it’s usually bullshit.

 

[Frostie]

No doubting his ability more the fit.

We already have 3 capable strikers on the books for a 1 striker system, would have to change the style we play to accommodate him somewhat & he's on (relatively) large wages. More than that though, I'd be very surprised if Leeds allowed him to go out on loan without an obligation to buy.

Well we may need to pay a ridiculous loan fee. He would help the team.

The Esse link is obviously credible but doesn't say it's a done deal

There's multiple sources reporting we are going to be busy this month

At this stage it all looks very promising IMO but we are still working on breadcrumbs really.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Esse or not esse, that is the question.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Better options out there

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Better options out there

Really? Whom?

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Piroe would be unreal! Esse is exactly the type of winger we need, let’s just hope someone else doesn’t offer better terms, we must get him over the line

 

[skybluecam]

Better options out there

Not actually sure there are- having someone with lots of recent experience and success in the league would be very handy.

 

[Otis]

WHY IS MY COCK OUT?!

Because it's Friday and it's what you always do on a Friday?

 

[Lamps]

WHY IS MY COCK OUT?!

Are you still a woman today

 

[Otis]

killjoy

What position does HE play?

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Better options out there

Clueless unless you wanna pay millions, piroe on loan would be perfect and is versatile

 

[TomRad85]

Piroe is absolute quality at this level.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Are you still a woman today

Which alter ego are you today Astute?!

Sunderland fan or Cov fan?!
