    Coventry transfer deadline day

    The difference being that Cardiff we’re buying a championship player on deadline day, whereas Bournemouth were buying a league 1 player the summer. Secondly, I never said it was a good thing selling Wilson, I said that £3m + sell on was a fair fee. Assuming a the sell on % is between 10-20%, we...

    We tried that and Craig Davies would rather be in a relegation dog fight with Oldham than us... So, realistically, who can we get? The same people expect us to spend big fees on the likes of Akinde, Doige or some other big scorer in our league. It’s just not realistic.

    Coventry transfer deadline day

    You’re talking in retrospect because since Wilson has left us and he’s done very well. But here’s some things to consider: - the club had just out of administration the summer before - Wilson was 22, so a much older prospect than Alli - and Alli is one of the best players in the prem right now -...

    Welcome Jonson Clarke-Harris

    He needs to develop in the U23s, it’s no good giving him 15-20m here and there, or worse, not getting any game time.

    Considering Dele Alli commanded a fee of 5m, and we sold Wilson for 3m, I don't think that's 'next to nothing'. And this was off the back off one blistering season, before that season he'd shown little evidence he'd be any good, in fact, Pressley had said in a preseason game he 'wanted to rip up...

    How Would You Rate Our Transfer Dealings This Window? (Jan 18)

    The transfer window is done and dusted, so I'm curious as to what people's opinions are on how we've got on this window. In short, I think we've done quite well, I'd rate our dealings as a 7/10. I think we needed to replace Jones and Andreu as best as possible, and I think the two young loanees...

    Welcome Jonson Clarke-Harris

    My first impression this is a very good signing. A young, (hopefully) hungry striker with a chance to prove he's good enough to play for this club after being released in 2012. He's an archetypal striker we were looking for and has pedigree in higher leagues. I don't have many concerns about his...

    Who is he and what position does he play?

    Coventry transfer deadline day

    Yes, I’m referring specifically to that incidenct. Poor kick from Burge which put us under pressure. However, had we conceded from that, it would’ve also been negligence from the defence as well. Hence, the defence mopped up the danger. It’s tough being a goalkeeper. You’re always in the...

    Disagree. His kicking at times put us under pressure, but I think if we concede from that, you’d have to blame the outfielders if anything came of it. Nothing really came of any of his miskicks nor were they in dangerous positions. Contrast that with Cambridge’s GK, who got tackled by McNulty...

    Really? I didn’t rate him, he looked a bit unfit, and he lost out aerially to both our centrebacks. However, he did exploit Stokes, when he crafted his 1st half chance.
  12. Mucca Mad Boys

    Coventry transfer deadline day

    Agreed. Take a game like Chesterfield away, even from the highlights, he dominated the game. But, he just had no luck that. Fast forward to last night and the few games before, he’s being a dominant player for us. I think he could’ve been as good as he is now, with Jones in the team and frankly...

    Wigan / Wolves interested in Ben Stevenson

    No one else is linked with a move? Apart from Jodi Jones to Leeds or Bayliss, what other even noteworthy rumours have you heard? Willis was in the summer, we were ‘bracing’ for bids for McDonald. Before the January window, we apparently needed a ‘goal scoring’ striker because McNulty wasn’t a...

    Wigan / Wolves interested in Ben Stevenson

    If Wolves want him that much, they can wait until the summer. I think our efforts should be going towards signing that striker Robins wants. This morning/last night, he said we don’t need to sell to bring anyone in. So why sell Stevenson? Yes, he might not be playing much, but if we lose Bayliss...

    Micheal Doyle - Captain fantastic

    As much as I think Doyle has been a revelation, I think extending his contract boils down to where we are playing our football next year. If we get promoted, I don't think we should renew his contract. I say this because I feel like we'd have to change the way we play tactically and L1 would...

    Player Ratings vs Cambridge

    He had one good opportunity all game and he was largely contained I thought. When he got subbed off you could see him holding his head in his hands. That’s pretty telling to me.

    So where were you all?

    Said to my little brother, I bet the attendance here tonight is less than our away support against MK. That’s bad. That said, I didn’t go to MK myself.

    Player Ratings vs Cambridge

    Burge, 6 - good punches and made a very good save first half, but some of his kicking was a bit off Grimmer, 7 - defended well and linked up well with Bayliss and Vincenti Davies, 7 - won his aerial battles and looked assured at the back McDonald, 6 - didn’t look as assured as Davies, but he won...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Cambridge United Match Thread - Tuesday 30th Jan

    I personally thought it was a booking, he may or may not of slipped, but he did take their player out in a good crossing position. Biamou and McNulty playing v well, Bayliss has looked a class act (first time seeing him today) and Burge made a v good save. We look pretty solid.
