We'll be playing kick and rush for the next few weeks...

Bugger!

Same as BTA and he had a much longer flight! BTA on the bench so smells of a knock to me unfortunately!

We've made 147 bids apparently, according to the local paper!

I wouldn't start simmo unless Haji can't play at all and then it's a coin toss! He just can't seem to contribute enough with his feet to the general play. Lampard went the other way last time so maybe Simmo will get another chance.

All strikers good through dry spells and we'll probably never know if anything is troubling him. Do we really think he isn't trying or can't be bothered in a WC season and given another opportunity to start? Honestly!

My point is pretty obvious, the hype was wildly exaggerated and he was never coming. I don't believe for a second that we made "three bids" it looks like we made a firm enquiry but were told to jog on pretty early on. I very much doubt there was ever any intent to blow £10m either.

Interesting comments from Hughes today about the summer for those who were clinging onto every word of the 3 bids etc “I think it was clear to see that there was genuine interest but I think it was killed quite quickly." “Errr me and the manager both said that I am happy where I am, and...

Lampard did say: "Asked if it’s just a case of doing the 32-year-old striker a favour, Lampard told CoventryLive: “Yeah, I guess you could call it doing him a favour. I know Patrick well and he hasn’t got a club. He’s training with us. I’m very happy, he’s a good lad, Patrick. He’s very easy...

Who knows? They clearly planned to add a winger in the last window but they will be also be careful about cashflow. We'll still be paying out a lot for previous transfers on top of wages. Nominally we've got three spots free just now.

I think so too. I doubt it's in the reckoning unless there's an emergency and then he's there. How convenient!

Maybe he's more of an insurance policy in case one of the strikers goes down. He would be cover until the window reopens...

a few, he's been on the bench. They're having a terrible season

Not for only a few weeks, no. I'm sure that they'll have looked at value aspect of the signing though. The fact that we didn't offer him an extension probably tells the story I suppose.

It wasn't that unusual in the 70s through the 90s for all games to be off. You'd often seen the snow piled up behind the touch lines for a few weeks in a cold winter. Snow before Christmas seems very rare now but it was pretty common back then.

Just a couple of weeks after in mid-Feb, he'd been a free agent since the November. I know he was a favourite but once bitten twice shy might apply for King (the great goal aside he didn't contribute very much and he was probably paid very good money.) There's certainly a cut off for all players...

The signing has to be agreed by the EFL outside of the window. That's the written rule as such but it depends on what conditions they place on that for free agents. It's that detail that I can't find easily and it possibly changes from season to season.

as I say I'm not sure but I think so. Maybe someone else knows more Can't sign at all if you've already registered the full 25 players, but we're not in that position.

I'm not sure of the precise rule but I understood that free agents can sign at any time but can't play until the next window opens. There's a couple of exceptions, if the player is registered prior to signing or there's a short grace period after the window but I think it's only a couple of...
