[Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon]

We need legs.

I'd say the absolute minimum is 2 of them

Not everyone has 3 legs like Eccles!

It’s all relative but he hasn’t won them a single game has he?

Looking good in the worst team in this division when they’re expecting to lose every game and he gets a free pass from their fans as he didn’t leave in the summer - and he’s regularly upset Sheffield United fans - isn’t enough to make me think that he’s close to the type of player we need to get us to the Prem.

If he looks good, in the worst team in the league, he must be good! He is a very good player in the championship.

Just been reading on FB that Sheffield Wed fans think Barry Bannan has played his last match for them due to the emotiond when he was subbed. If he is off, could it be to us?

Linked with Rangers yesterday

I'd hope we were at least in for him at £3mill that seems cheap to me. But Sheff and Birmingham would both massively overpay on wages. So depends on the lads aspirations - get back to Premier league or take the immediate money.

I don't think we are in for Dan Neil.

Great win last night but yet again, our full backs and wingers are killing us defensively. We could (and should) have been 3 or 4-1 down in that second half.

Happy to get the win but we won't keep getting away with it. We need to go back to controlling and managing games out. When was the last time we won 2-0? I can't keep watching us probe and probe to then be hit on the break time and time again.

But...in terms of transfers, I think we are desperate for a CM with legs to help cover Grimes and we need a LB. Bidwell and Brau and not the level and JDS is not defensively good enough imo.

Wants Coventry

We are after better …:

Brum and Leicester...rather fucking retire then play for them bunch of inbreds

 

[JSL]

Wondering if Grimes has been in touch.

Best he stays where he is for now if he isn't coming here until the end of the season. We don't want him rucking up at a promotion rival and aiding their cause

 

[TomRad85]

Wants Coventry

Based Piroe. Man knows if it looks like shit and smells like shit then it's usually shit.

 

[Jamieb87ccfc]

Would love Piroe as an option but we do have 3 strikers all on 10 goals.
Neil would be a great option to allow Grimes some rest and I really think Lampard could improve his game.

 

[fernandopartridge]

According to Football Manager, he is eligible to represent Poland. Not sure which side of the family it is but on my games he oftens ends up as a Polish international.

His mum is polish I think

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Barry Bannan has legs! Its kind of how he gets about. Granted not very quickly, but he definitely had legs last time I seen him play.

All joking aside, I do remember him beating MVE in a foot race in the 5-0 win at Hillsborough.

He wasn't, but Barry Bannan must've been if he beat MVE in a sprint.

all seems very quiet this week!

Got a sneaky suspicion it will all be quiet now until deadline day and we will be trying to get a couple over the line last minute

@Saddlebrains seemed to think we'd have a midfielder in by the Norwich game so we shall see

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I quickly scanned this without my glasses on and thought Birmingham as they seem to be trying to sign new team.

He said 'we' need legs so technically the absolute minimum is 4

Takes less than five seconds to find out that that's complete bollocks

This account is beyond ridiculous. “Journalist” with 100 followers, mostly tweets about Sheffield clubs.

Yesterday’s exclusive claimed we had bid £900k for Bailey Cadamateri from Wednesday w instant loan back til end of season (because he’s exactly what we’d need next season if we were in the prem but we don’t need him to help us get there!!)

And he appears to misspell the name Michael.

The. work will be being done now on any deals. Deals may get finalized at the last minute, but don't actually happen at the last minute.

 

[CCFC_Irish]

Coventry want to throw out some bogus transfer targets – BCFC might try and snap them up.

I think the media, agents and wanna be in the knows are already doing that

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

Yep. That’s exactly the reason why players transfer from the club at the bottom of the championship to the top every season. Especially at 36 years of age.

He doesn’t look that good, merely hints that he was a skilful player who probably should have achieved more in his career. He’s not won them a single game as they continue (even without the points deduction) on a record breaking season of underperformance.

 

[Deity]

Breaking news ….

 

[Sick Boy]

If we go up I’d like to think Lampard would stay.

 

[CCFC_Irish]

Lampard's reputation is at an all-time high – he is going to ride the crest of this wave until the end of the season. He is getting a lot of adulation for what he is doing at Coventry. Why leave that and go to Palace, where things could go wrong very quickly? I think Rob Edwards has given championship managers a masterclass in what not to do.
