    Deadline day thread

    I'd say Burge is okay for our current level. Not brilliant, not pants. I imagine he'll only be replaced if and when we step up to the Championship, barring a transfer or serious injury.

    City players’ names we can’t pronounce

    Is Wegerle pronounced as Wegg -er- lee or Wegg - earl? I've heard some American commentators use the latter, but that just sounds fricking weird to me.

    Amadou Bakayoko - Confirmed 2 Year Deal

    I wonder if Hywula will be the striker and Bakayoko will play on the left of the attacking three midfielders. The youtube clips hint that he plays quite wide at times.

    Amadou Bakayoko - Confirmed 2 Year Deal

    I think he's saying that Barry Manilow sang a song called I write the songs, but he didn't actually write it.

    1 in 4 forwards

    I get what you're saying about age. Not sure what the average age of a modern-day squad is. 25 perhaps? Baimou is inexperienced rather than young, Willis is young but experienced. Age is a factor, but experience is probably a bigger part of the puzzle. And no doubt about it, we don't have many...

    Amadou Bakayoko - Confirmed 2 Year Deal

    This fella looks decent enough. Tall men often get labelled as lazy due to their running style, so I'm not buying that just yet. And in a creative team, he'll get a few goals. Maybe the plan is that he plays wide and Hiwulya (sp?) will go up top.

    Death of the high street

    We all want to pay the most reasonable price we can for goods. That's why there's so many comparison sites on the interweb. A lot of people - and I include my past self in this - think most reasonable = cheapest, with quality of the goods being a moderator in the decision. But as I get older...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Scunthorpe United Match Thread - Saturday 4th Aug

    If I was a betting man, I'd put a fiver on Doyle getting a yellow in the first 15 and a dull 0-0 draw to start the season off in style. #risetogether

    Fantastic transfer window

    Fair point, but how often have we come out and said that we're targetting promotion? Adi Boothroyd was the last manager I can think of, and for a spell he got us close before the wheels fell off. I doubt the club / manager / players would be saying that is the aim if they didn't feel we had the...

    George Thomas to Scunny

    You may end up being right, but he was never an out-and-out striker, was he? He'll do well to get 12 goals imho.

    Fantastic transfer window

    Unless we get off to a good start, half of our signings will be written off as shit in the first month.
