Manneh has had his medical. But awaiting final signatures on contract. Another champ club has come in and offered stupid money to him.

Expect it will be finalised one way or another in the next week or so. Leaning towards Coventry still i'm led to believe.

Moving away from politics let’s get the rumours going again:

Coventry would have transmitted an irresistible offer to Servette for the Portuguese U20 international Keyan Varela. It's only a matter of time before the transfer is officialized, as he was not retained for the winter training camp.

He’s got a stupid agent and it’s well known. Did the same as soon as he landed in Greece in the summer.

This club don't even have to go through with it they would just have to delay us for 2-3.weeks job done if it's Middlesbrough Ipswich Watford or Hull.

This is the reality of chasing after good players. He is being offered almost double to go to this other club. He would be stupid not to at least take time to consider it.

To be honest, I don’t blame Manneh for taking his time. Young lad moving country. Course money is a factor.

The agent is advocating for him to sign for Coventry on the basis we will be a prem team next year most likely.

It's the club which want the extra money from the other team.

If you read when I posted the rumour before I don't claim to be ITK whatsoever at the club.

I have one source with this one transfer that's it.

Brevity unfortunately is not my middle name, particularly when I was pissed.
The point was that a lot of posters on here know nothing but pretend they do.
Anyway after a bollocking, posts which could have put someones job in jeopardy have been deleted.

Their package overall is mental. And we won't be matching it, fingers crossed it's good news in the next few days

On that note then, hope he picks us. From the very limited experience I’ve got, I know how agents can play a key role in a players decision

He’s too busy on his ski trip in turkey mate, done it the last 2 years. Let’s hope with the end in sight he sees sense this season

He needs to do what Vik did with us and Sporting and tell his club he wants to join Coventry.

If he can only see short term and see the dollar signs and not the exposure he could get from a move to top of the league he’s not worth chasing

I can’t believe the silence in the January transfer window so far. All Doug has done so far is buy the stadium and secure our future.. it’s simply not good enough.

Whilst I agree, it has only been 3 days, I think a lot are nervous. Nobody is saying nothing is happening, Nobody disagrees the ground news is epic. But I think a lot, myself definitely included, have seen us "Cov Things Up" too many times to be content.

I also think the issue is, if we do cov this up, it'll be a very long time until we're in such a good position as we currently are now. It almost has a now or never feel about it. And thats not even bed wetting, I genuinely think thats the reality. We fail this, we lose Wright, Rudi, MVE, and Rushworth as minimum. With them going, the likes of Thomas, JDS etc may be tempted to parachute teams for next season maybe? We're right back to stage 1 of the rebuild.

And i think those nerves are playing out in the extremes on here. People band around the word bed wetter, call people dramatic etc, its just nerves. And every one of us has our own relationship with the club and follows the club their own, different way.

Young and would need developing you'd think?!

Exactly the opposite of what others said about the Korean lad at Pompey (on loan from Spurs).

I love how quickly people hate if he comes here it means he turned down a packet to be here so clearly wanted it. Wait and see, if he comes then I'm happy to have him, if he does turn us down for an absolute nothing club like Stoke then ultimately the joke is on him.

Definitely not, one for the future. Exactly the type of signings we shouldn’t be making at this key stage, we need 2 or 3 ready

I think we should crack on with business as usual as long as its not eating into the business we really need to do too much. You'd assume that's been factored in.

We need 3 ready made 1st team players.

But that doesn't mean to say we cant get a couple of low risk high reward young players. You only can really evaluate them once they are around the group, then the pathway is set for them.

We certainly can do both.

I’ve heard the Manneh deal has stalled, because he has gone down with the Ryton bug, plus he has contracted a calf strain getting off the plane and he is currently locked in bog shitting through the eye of a needle with a dose of Van EwShits.

I can’t reveal my source because the shit could hit the fan.
