Who was it then?

Harrison Reed - is my educated guess at who we were after, Fulham haven't got anyone in & he’s played his part & performed in past month or so.

This is who we should be signing, bit ambitious but come on Doug and get your wallet out

Nah, now is not the time for 20 year olds from fringe European leagues

So still a chance for the Brentford lad or Hamer then

He is one we are trying for now and have been for a couple of weeks, alongside Onyeka and Hamer
But yea considering its not happening now, the name I was told was Eric Martel, midfielder from Cologne. Out of contract in the summer and we were keen on a deal in which his wage would massively increase upon/if promotion (few of our players have that clause btw)
Evidently hes been incredible for Cologne this season and much bigger fish are now in the pond so Cologne have basically said you can go but Coventry arent offering the money we can get for you
Im sure there are some Bundesliga boffs on here but his stats seem alright

What I'm taking from this is that there's a slight possibility that we can have an exciting end to the transfer window.

Interesting to be in for Bundesliga players in the first place tbf. His numbers have been pretty good this season so not a surprise if bigger sides than us are interested.

Its a possibility yes. Doug would see it as a massive coup and wants it
Id say slim though. Let's be honest if he really wanted to come back, he would, and it doesnt exactly seem like hes pushing for it

Eh?! Forget solid players who can actually contribute to a title fight, project players should be top of the list!

I can see why Doug wants it but less sure why FL would want it.

This lad is very decent, flicks between defensive midfielder & center back, very capable & high ceiling. Can see why we’ve not got him tbh, punching above our weight imo, will end up at better German team or team in top 3-4 leagues.

He’d come back in a heartbeat mate
I know the point you are making but signings the championships player of the season last year is unlikely to be rebuffed by any manager

He's badly out of shape for a start. Would be great for PR and 'merch' sales though so I get why King would be in for it.
Onyeka is probably closest to what we need and more suited to the league above if we get there.

Doug wants the money on the 38 numbered kits. Hamer wants to spend more time at the Samoa Joes.
Win, Win

Personally I think the only way Hamer comes back to Coventry is if he really misses it.
Strong statement

Right I’m itk, got a feeling we’ll get one. A cm, his name may or not be hamer, also we could sign a randomer from a foreign league however if we don’t end up signing a midfielder we definitely definitely tried.

I think it might’ve gone beyond that now as I believe Deadpool (and the other matey) may have attracted a billionaire investor to join the party.
I think they’re here to stay for the foreseeable.
Genuinely good for the town (city?) of Wrexham.
Yet Another example of money being all that matters in football. Great.*
*heres hoping we get the same.
Edit: sorry have now seen others have said this already.

Accept his body shape isn't the best, but not sure he is badly out of shape.
Hamer had a good season in the premier league and is one of the best players at this level (POTS last year). There would definitely be more of an expectation for him to improve his fitness/ body shape here, but I don't think that's beyond him. It's not like he needs to lose 5 stone.

If you are paying that sort of money, the player has to be absolutely exceptional with a massive sell on potential. Think Ipswich paid £17.5 million for a dud.
I know Esse is younger and has much more potential but £12 to £14 million mentioned compared to EMC £5 million looks a bargain.
Southampton appear to have blown it with loads of £7 million players.
Recruitment where ever we end up, as usual, will be crucial.

The more you struggle to achieve something the more it means if/when you do. I used to give myself loads of money on manager games as a kid, it got boring after a while because the end result is never really in doubt.

If Lampard wants him and he comes back that's fine by me. Just don't see it happening.

Absolutely spot on.
My mum used to go to fortune tellers and believed the classic non-specific stuff she was told. Good blaggers just repeat what we already know (we were after Manneh, a midfielder) and Lampard we know would like more cover.
The suckers who take the bait on here are hilarious.
Unless someone says we are after X and he is definitely coming, the signs are you are being played.
Look at the source, look at the recent history.
Who told you Esse was signing on loan, er no one. Or Mini other than we were after him in the Summer which came from his agent or Spurs.
