Transfer Rumour Frank Onyeka (115 Viewers)

[CCFC96]

It will be bitching and moaning that it's too late or it's announced later so they don't have to sign anybody else.

I think on Jan 1st if we said we'd sign Onyeka, Esse, Minny and Markhelo, everyone here would be chuffed to bits. However we've since lost a couple of tight games and so need the entire back 4 changing.

It's less about wanting the team to lose - it's more a self-preservation technique thing of being incredibly negative about everything so that when we win it doesn't matter because every one is happy, but when we lose, the negative people can go on about being right about everything.

Fair enough if people want to be that way but it is also very grating to read it constantly.

You explained it better than me tbf.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Im not crying and saying if we don’t get promoted Im done with football.

Sorry - it’s fucking pathetic

I’ll do what I want thanks very much.

 

[robbiethemole]

this deal has been ongoing since Jan 12th, we've waited until the big points lead we had disappeared before signing him ( or someone similar ) what a fucking joke this Club's transfer policy still is. maybe there has been a falling out over Bamford and King is holding tight to the ££££ does he expect us to get promoted on a shoe string???

Mute the people you find grating. Or even better don’t come on here when we’re in the middle of blowing a once in a lifetime opportunity. Believe me the endless optimism in the face of all facts of grating too. That’s disagreements on the internet. Maybe Nick should make two forums like that Red Dwarf episode and we can just pick based on mood?

 

[robbieray]

Must be done Wikipedia says so

 

[TomRad85]

Like you with Robins at Stoke you mean? Yeah people who think something and get told they’re wrong will then seek to rub it in later if proven right. Thats human nature.

Robins? I wanted him sacked because we were terrible. Not sure what has proved me wrong tbh and i didn't really have much to say about him taking over at Stoke. They seem to be sliding into midtable as usual.

No because the negative ones actively seek out positivity to try and shit on it. Try and praise any of our players after a loss, its impossible without copping an earful

I Dunno - Matt smith seem his most enthusiastic when something doesn’t go our way

He's a drama queen and has the constitution of a jelly; I don't think he wants us to lose, though.

 

[Matt smith]

I don’t know Matt Smith but I guarantee he loves the club and wants us to win every game. I even think that about the absolute cunts on here. They’re clearly Coventry city supporting cunts and trolls.

Thanks mate, appreciate those words

just have a funny why of showing it as it gets to me.

It's not a once in a lifetime opportunity to play in the prem though is it. We were in the play-off final a few years ago when the club was in a worse state ffs.

I'm aware there will be differing opinions but your latest one is two players who you have never watched are shit. That's just being an idiot.

I like to think I'm more of a realist and my current opinion on things are that based on underlying metrics and signings this Jan is, we'll likely continue our great home form and our away form will begin to pick up when a few things start going our way or Frank decides to tweak the tactics a bit. Rather than just the opinion that we'll never win again and despite being top, the season is over.

 

[Briles]

Confirmation if it were needed.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

I disagree. Better to announce it if it's done and say all business concluded and let people go on with their lives.

Assuming the club are trying for more they might not know as of yet. But if he’s all we’ve got better to end on at least a bang than a whimper

 

[Sick Boy]

There is still an underlying anti Lampard sentiment, you can see it all coming out now where the games we won are being questioned.

While searching for transfer news I saw a post on Reddit saying they’d sack him even if we got promoted because we’d lose most weeks in the PL.

Even grating posters make good points occasionally. I generally only block if someone is getting right on my tits and i can't help myself, then usually unblock them the next day.

People do know that anybody can update wiki?

 

[jto123]

Have we signed 10 more players yet?

No m8

If we get promoted (and I hope we do) it will be carnage on here most weeks.

 

[Freddie]

Someone just spotted him at a services up North, according to Twitter. Can't be a good sign unless he really likes driving.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Been reported on Sky, Sheffield United are signing two midfielders one of them is Matt Phillips from Man City

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

No…

 

[Skyblue Bangkok]

Been reported on Sky, Sheffield United are signing two midfielders one of them is Matt Phillips from Leeds.

Thought is was Phillips from Man City on loan

 

[fatso]

Very true. People will be calling for Lampard to be sacked before the end of September, and King will be accused of being clueless and only here for the money!
The squad will be the worst weve ever had and the ground will be less full every game!

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Thought is was Phillips from Man City on loan

Oh yeah silly me.

 

[clint van damme]

No, but like i said, if we do there are quite a few that will fall back on at least i was right on this all along.

People do that on here constantly, pulling up old posts to prove old points.
It doesn't mean people want us to fail.

What I also find strange is that all the posts criticising Robins, who literally saved the club, year in year out, never had people jumping on them like the ones that criticise Lampard, really bizarre.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Thought is was Phillips from Man City on loan

Yes, it's Kalvin Phillips from Manchester City and Joe Rothwell from Rangers.

 

[TomRad85]

A message to Doug King. This is how we'd feel if you announced a signing early on deadline day...

This is how we feel every time you wait until the end of the day to announce a player we already know about...

 

[Ashdown]

He could sit on his arse for the rest of the season collecting a good wage, but he wants to play football and it looks like for us. That's the sort of player I want to see coming in.

I really hope you’re right of course

 

[Ccfcsj]

More likely he's been driving around the Coventry Ring Road all day wondering how to get off

Hahahaha you know that isn't true! The handful of us that dared to say we should be doing better got torn to pieces.

 

[Ectemnius]

Yeah hence why I think they’re just being imprecise!

Precisely!

Mate you don’t have a clue what’s going on. Could be that the player couldn’t make up his mind or whatever.

also he’s been at AFCON so just sit down and chill the hell out

 

[Ashdown]

I’ve always shouted out for another striker, 2 skinny wingers, another who isn’t fit and cost a packet and now this guy wasn’t my idea of a superb window.
We have to face facts though Doug ain’t gonna bust the club and you can’t blame him for that either. The demise is more on the tactics ( and the illness, suspensions and injuries) than the squad.
