From what I can gather , youd be happy with a CM and a CB .

Is that correct

Well, tbf, if were talking in an ideal, perfect, world, a lot more! But CH, CM/No8, versatile attacker that could cover all 3 roles if and when needed.

I just feel weve absolutely stood still

KKH has looked pants
Brau cant get in ahead of Dasilva
Rushworth has Collinsitis
And we've sold our captain with no replacement



Unless the bricks at the CBS can play CM, we're in the shit come December when the injuries and fatigue kick in

Saying KKH has looked shit after like 2 games is such an overreaction.

How are we weaker in defence?

Including the GK, I'd argue we've got a better keeper, got rid of Binks who many hated and replaced him with Wolfenden and also brought in Brau and KHH. Oh, and got rid of Collins.

We're definitely stronger in defence. Potentially we could get a 4th CB for added cover but there's no way we're weaker.

It would be pretty negligent to sell Sheaf and not bring in a replacement, I cannot believe FL would be at all happy with that.

They were starting 12 months ago and are very much squad players now.

You've just said 3 signings are poor and you're desperate to sign more. That's the irony, signings don't guarantee quality. Keeping players like Rudoni, Haji and MVE is.

id say so, sheafs way ahead of Eccles and Allen, Eccles is still out so that leaves us just Allen? sheaf needs replacing
Click to expand...
If anything, the CMs need rebalancing. Allen, Eccles, Grimes and Sheaf were deployed in more or less the same role. Torp does things differently to them and there’s no alternative for him.

I still highly rate Sheaf but his attributes isn’t what’s needed.

With respect to Allen, he’s 4th choice and these players don’t get a ton of minutes so for one more season, it’s fine. Sheaf and Eccles aren’t going to be happy being 4th choice with reduced minutes whereas Allen accepts that role. Obviously not as talented, but you need players in a squad who are happy to not be 1st choice.

Couple of injuries away from being back to an Allen and Eccles midfield pairing.

Would be ok if a CM came in with Woolfenden but would still be an average summer for me. Just my opinion.

On KKH he did take a couple of hard knocks to be fair to him, I think he'll be fine given his track record. Both he and MVE need cover from the winger, Tats has improved a lot at this BTA/Rapha doen't give us that yet. That's certainly something for the training gound in this break.

People will keep saying how we have had a great window with who we have kept, etc.

The reality is, we are 2-3 injuries away from being extremely thin.

if we hadn’t of sold Sheaf, brought in Wolfy and an attacking play/winger then that’s very decent.

But that doesn’t seem to be the case.

As it stands we have a better squad now than when we exited last season, we have kept all of our best players, and we now own the stadium …..

It could still change with 3 hours to go but it’s been a very good summer for Coventry.

Fingers crossed. Looks like the CH is confirmed, so just 2x more to go. Then I say this window was a success. Still a lot of dead wood that needs cutting away and replacing, but Rome wasnt built in a day. Nobody on here is stupid enough to think otherwise. But a little more depth this window wouldn't of gone a miss. When we're 1 injury away from a much weakened starting 11, its a concern.

Exactly, it's a position identified, he may have been number 1 target but it's not going to be him or nobody. Also just because we have the same players, does not mean we haven't improved as a squad. We have a young squad who are more experienced and they've had a pre-season with this coaching team.

What were people saying about Torp up until this season?

In fact, what about the ‘Haji can’t play upfront in Lampard’s system’ brigade.

All the time, people rush to conclusions and year on year, the same bedwetters get made to look foolish. Seriously, when will these people learn?

Allen and Eccles have played midfield for us plenty of times in the past few years.

They've both played in two play offs and an FA Cup semi final.

They are two good squad players to have.

Godo to join Strasbourg despite Coventry interest​

Latest from Sky Sports News' James Cole:
Martial Godo is set to join Strasbourg from Fulham in a permanent deal.
The deal is understood to be worth in the region of £6m.
The 22-year-old winger had been the subject of strong interest from Coventry this summer.

Something fishy about this.....

Godo to Strabourg (owned by Chelsea) to be replaced by Fulham signing Tyrique George from Chelsea.... Smells like an FFP workaround

Honestly, people on here are so fickle. Bemoaning the lack of transfers all summer (despite signing a few players).

Then we announce buying the stadium, which has been the clubs achilles heel for 20 years.

1 week later everyone is back to moaning about the lack of transfers and progress.

GET A FUCKING GRIP YOU MONGS
