we didn’t offer him a contract but i’m sure he could’ve played a higher level than league one potential backup. looks like he really does want to get back in the game.

Think we’ve got enough left in the kitty for a cheeky bid in Jan?

Only real area in the squad where we are obviously light is left wing back. Notice Denver Hume still without a club, turned down a deal at Sunderland.

He seems like one of the few players that their fans have anything good to say about. Better going forward than defensively apparently but still young and coachable. Wouldn’t be in a position to demand a lot given it’s September and he hasn’t got a club.

He wants to stay at Sunderland, was offered a deal, had it withdrawn once he picked up a small injury then offered a worse deal. Which he rightly rejected imo. He's not particularly good though.

Can’t say I’ve seen a lot of him but seen mixed reviews from notoriously hard to please Sunderland fans. Needs to sort something out for himself anyway.

Lassana Faye is available, decent LB in the Eredivise, would work well with the rest of the dutch lads

maatsen and hamer but this was not meant to be the main reason we sign the lad, just a plus.

We still want a left back - no mention of Reid being an option

Sky Blues boss Mark Robins wants another permanent signing

Experienced wing-back Todd Kane could feature for the Sky Blues for the first time this weekend against Middlesbrough

Would have thought he'd have shown more interest in keeping Souare.

Mind boggling. Why did we bother with Reid if he’s not even sufficient cover?

It reads to me as though he is talking about next summer not now? In which case that's not really news?

He's suggesting that Kane is the cover at the moment. But long term we need a permanent and a loan, which he wasn't able to do as nothing is out there within budget and so Kane represented the best option.

Please don't criticise the transfer window otherwise I'll have to take steps to lower your street cred score on here.

He was picked up for his potential
Unfortunately he's yet to live up to expectations
He's young so it's still possible he will kick on

He must be one of the more risk free signings though as even if he doesn’t kick on a Scottish club will pay some money for him, he’s no Kasta

reminds me of when we signed Darragh Leahy if anyone remembers him, Reid has played decently on a much higher stage before we signed him compared to Leahy so hopefully that’s an indicator of his breaking out?

Or at least not send him out on loan like we were going to as soon as we signed him!

Leahy was picked up from St. Kevin’s boys as a 16 year old, Reid picked up only 2 years older as an u23.

Still looking at the free agent market it seems. Should give this thread some extra legs.
