So we need 8-9 new players unless those players we know are likely to leave, do so !. Then it’s 12-13 which is what others were suggesting in the first place ! 🙄

When Vik replaced his agent ahead of this transfer window his intent was clear, and it wasn’t to sign a new and slightly improved deal with us !

Chelsea do need to sell this summer and their “home grown “ players are their priority to sell as they can realise the full value to their balance sheet. Not qualifying for the champions league has made this an imperative. don’t be surprised to see Mount, Maartsen, Colwill, Hudson Odoi ...

Not actually true.

Maartsen totally different class to Bidwell and lots of improvement still to come . What is crazy though is the fee differential … I’d be amazed if we got £200k for Bidwell and the gap between the players isn’t £19.8m.

Reports suggest £10k a week and one of the highest earners ….

Bidwell was defensively solid all season. He was never brilliant as a modern day wing back … the position he has been playing in.

Reid isn’t a left back and Robins nearly sold Bidwell in January so I think we know he won’t be around ….

Outside of Da Silva who are the other 2 left sided full backs ??

By Alan Nixon Coventry City want to bring left back Lee Buchanan home from German football. Mark Robins is keen to do a deal for the defender who joined Werder Bremen from Derby a year ago in a surprise deal. Buchanan has lost his place in the Bremen side, although he did start the last...

He’s got a good track record with us ….

His lack of pace got exposed this season

You are correct it’s pretty rare, but not unheard of.

I understand your point but I’m not sure that’s how the football model works. You agree a playing budget for transfers and salaries. Sometimes it will be more economic to sign better quality free transfers on higher wages than to sign contracted players of the same quality with a fee. The key...

I’d expect us to get £17m for Vik and £8m for Hamer. I think they are both worth more but their contractual situation will dilute what clubs will pay and what we will accept, given the risk associated with them running the contracts down. I think Doug will make 50% available to MR and invest a...

Maybe it’s a done deal and the reason we are playing them in a pre season friendly

Conor Coady would be an incredible loan signing for the Championship. Unrealistic but I sense there will not be a large queue of Premier League clubs wanting him.

No he wasn’t. Which is why Burroughs, Kane, etc all got game time and then we brought BNC in during January.

He was blowing 5 mins after coming on at the weekend. He couldn’t track back.

I think we will and I think we will buy 3 or 4 players for £2m or more
