Are you still a woman today

Which alter ego are you today Astute?!

Sunderland fan or Cov fan?!

I have already started working on a song along the lines of "who needs Messi when we've got Esse."

 

[Ccfcisparks]

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

Ipswich loaned Kieffer moore when they went up to get them over the line.

We should do similar, regardless of the cost

 

[shepardo01]

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

Decent sports "journo"
From Coventry also, so may have some steady sources of info.

 

[covmutley]

I'm sure we will get a few in. Doug said in his Xmas message that it will probably never be better than this. He's right, and so he must know that he has to gamble. He's be crazy not to really.

Recent results have been ok, but not what we need, but. It's clear that the squad size is the biggest issue. Frank hasn't exactly been shy about saying it publicly.

Was it him who did the Lampard interview, on the TalkSport youtube, a month back?

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

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

Esse would be a big upgrade on Sakamoto too.

Yes

Yes.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Would people be happy with Piroe if it meant we had to pay £10m fee upon promotion?

 

[lord_garrincha]

Esse would be a big upgrade on Sakamoto too.

I wonder... like with the goalkeepers... he'll take over his song.

Esse on the wing... Romain Esse on the wing.

Our superstar from South London.

Perhaps not!

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Esse, George, Neill

also surprisingly a LWB, and a CF, LWB least likely and CF depending on other ‘internal’ matters

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Would people be happy with Piroe if it meant we had to pay £10m fee upon promotion?

Yes because we could sell him for atleast £6m/£7m and the £3m loss would be a drop in the ocean compared to us getting over the line

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Esse, George, Neill

ITK?!

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

ITK?!

‘educated’ guess…

Esse on the wing... Romain Esse on the wing.

Our superstar from South London.

Perhaps not!

I hope not, the copy & pasted songs across the EFL is an atmosphere killer imo. The same songs get sung by both home and away fans…

That’s without starting on the ‘football in a library’ chat…

Sakamoto’s song at his old club was much better, catchier and not a cheap copy of the Celtic song.

The ‘Brau this song is about you’ is pretty basic but it’s unique and culturally relevant given how close The Enemy is to the club, quite cool.

Not saying this will happen at all but a starting 11 of:

Rushwood

MVE Kitching Thomas JDS

Grimes Eccles

Rudoni

Esse Piroe EMC

with Saka, Torp, KKH, Simms, Wolf, Torp ready to step off the bench would put us in a great position.

Starting Eccles as a defensive midfielder with Grimes as we've been over-run in the centre of the park in recent games and we have lost control - I also see his best position as a 6. Not sure Torp gives us that control that we badly need right now.

Why can't people spell "Piroe"?

Pirloi???

 

[Otis]

Yeah, cos it's not my money.

 

[SleepyGinger]

If Leeds could get 6/7m for him now they would snap your hand off. The only way they will beable to off load him is by taking advantage of a desperate team in January. I don’t think that will be us.

Dont care. I'd pay it for him. We need to go for it

 

[Sick Boy]

We probably have a decent transfer budget and the chance to play under Lampard will be a big plus.

thanks skybluecam - corrected as instructed!

 

[covcity4life]

In assuming esse in a permanent is out of the equation? Palace wanna keep him?

 

[skybluecam]

Eh?

He’s 26 and a proven goalscorer in the champ. I’d spend £6m on him tomorrow.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Its amazing what a bit of competition for places will do (once we get the players in)

It will drive current players and add game changung substitutions. Badly needed.

It was really interesting to see Kitching bombing down left hand side yesterday.
His delivery and range of passing is better than Bidwell and Brau.so i wouldnt be surprised to see either of those leave.

Can see Bidwell being picked up by Portsmouth/Oxford. Or a decent league 1 team.

 

[SleepyGinger]

He will likely end up in the championship so we will see

are we signing a new keeper?

also Eccles is fine off the bench, or occasionally at 10 on a good day, but I’m absolutely not buying that he’s better than Torp

 

[SeshMouseSkyBlue]

does anyone know what the bad news was that’s been mentioned on here a few times?

Will King had to be rushed to A&E when he slipped while shaving the piece of skin between his ballsack and his arsehole. Really stunned the dressing room and they did well to battle for a point after hearing that imo.

They want Wright from previous tit bits we heard so it would make sense to do some kind if deal

Ah the gooch! Never ideal slitting that

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Can't be true. I was told any loan signings would be expecting to play every game.

 

[procdoc]

Esse, George, Neil and Ferguson would be top quality business
