    Match Thread Coventry City v Real Betis (Friendly) - 30th July - 7PM

    Good half of football against a good side. Would like to see Torp instead of Sheaf. Again a few chances to play forward and run the lines turned down which is frustrating, we need players to not be afraid to make those passes. Good pressing from the front as a team, led to a nice goal for...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Most definitely. Looking at squad depth and balance, the wings are somewhere we are lacking. I suppose a lot comes down to how they want to use Wright (if we keep hold of him). Then taking into account injury records, Raphael's lack of experience etc. A player that can play all roles across the...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I haven't heard anything, was just using him as an example. He sounds like the type of player we would benefit from bringing in though. I hope it's something we are working on.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Agree with this. I only managed to catch the second half of the Bristol Rovers game, but i noticed 3 occasions when we had to chance to pick a pass forward and they weren't executed. Twice Simms made good runs and once from Raphael, the ball to Raphael was played behind him which meant he had to...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Personally i'd hope we would see a couple more quality signings over quantity. If it's true the money is there, and with Gyokeres on the move, we could be in a great position to do some good business. Hopefully before the season starts.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Other than saying we were trying to sort some outward loans, nothing really about any bids coming in. There's these murmurings of interest in Eccles and MVE, possibly Binks too. I don't think anyone has put in any offers yet.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Yeah, whoever their targets were, seems as though contact was made pretty early on in the window with them all. So i'm sure there will be lots happening behind the scenes. Can only help matters that Gyokeres deal is over the line now too.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Nothing really, other than what i've posted previously. He's been pretty spot on so far with what he's told me. LB in, told me early on there was talks with 2 right sided players and a keeper, since then we've had KKH and now Rushworth. Waiting to see if anything materialises with the RW. He'd...

    Just my own hunch, therefore it probably won't happen 😅

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Other than what i posted a couple of weeks ago, about the agent talks with 2 right sided players and a keeper, he's not said too much more about incomings. Since he originally told me that, we've signed KKH. So i presume the winger and keeper are still in the talks phase. He's mentioned we are...

    Transfer Rumour Tyrhys Dolan

    I've got nothing other than what i posted last week. Haven't spoke to him for over 3 weeks as we have both been away. I know the club are not keen on the leaks. I only ever get little snippets anyway, that's why i message you first to see if you have heard the same. You definitely hear more...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Yeah, the way he spoke about it to me was that it was all but agreed he would join us, whatever the league.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Could be the case. When he said it to me, it wasn't as though he was saying that he plays there often, just a passing comment that he can cover that position, and was a LB we'd been scouting for a while.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I wish i had more info, this is going back a while, i'd asked Saddle at the time if he'd heard the same and he had, though i never had a name. Things could definitely have changed but it seemed as though it had been an ongoing thing, like we'd developed a good relationship with the agent /...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    The way he said it to me at the time he first told me was that he had played LCB in the 3 before but was predominantly a LB. The talks had been ongoing for a long time and we had been scouting him for a while. He would want to join us whether we went up or not. That's all the info i had. I...
