Looks like we’re finally doing something, if we can keep rudoni And MVE and use the money for Thomas for a quality CH that’s great business
I would hope we have something ready to drop straight away.I've always liked Bob but the question that bid asks the club is, do you think Hughes is better than Thomas and could we get him? If the answer is yes then you take the chance and flip him, if not you keep him.
You make it work for you, basically.
I can't be watching Lati getting many minutes this season. I just can't, I'm so weak.We ofcourse would need 2 centre halves unless lati was going to cover again
But we'll need another centre half on top of this too!!Looks like we’re finally doing something, if we can keep rudoni And MVE and use the money for Thomas for a quality CH that’s great business
We don't know who Hughes would have started ahead of.When we first heard about our bids for Hughes many of us thought a partnership of Hughes and Kitch would have been a definite step up. Ie. Thomas warming the bench, £8mill for someone we were hoping to be a backup CB is fantastic business for us.
Let’s make the deal for Hughes and get a young CB for cover or if money is there then Doyle. That would be an awesome partnership at this level.
I think lati covers, kitching wont miss many games, not like you really need to rest centre halves, they’re made a bit tougher, just hope we bring some proper quality in if he does go, I’d prefer doyle over Hughes, seems a bit of a strange one for sheff Utd, they’ve gone for Thomas over those 2 ?We ofcourse would need 2 centre halves unless lati was going to cover again
How do you know Kitching doesn't miss many games?I think lati covers, kitching wont miss many games, not like you really need to rest centre halves, they’re made a bit tougher, just hope we bring some proper quality in if he does go
We don't really know what goes on behind closed doors, teams may have enquired. There was no sign of any interest in Thomas before this story broke.Yes because the offers are flying in for Liam
If Hull seriously want £20m for him, it's a pretty brief conversation.I've always liked Bob but the question that bid asks the club is, do you think Hughes is better than Thomas and could we get him? If the answer is yes then you take the chance and flip him, if not you keep him.

Unfortuantely £8m is a lot to a club like Coventry CityThomas is better than many of you realise and I would be sad to see him go. The majority of our team seems to have its critics so it really is amazing that with such crap players we finished in the play offs last season.
Because he hasn’t ? The odd red card, rarely injuredHow do you know Kitching doesn't miss many games?
I suspect he has a positive attitude too, good to have around, cheers people up.Thomas is better than many of you realise and I would be sad to see him go.

this is exactly what will happen. If Hughes is too pricey for Blades then we're never getting him anyway. And as for the other fav, Doyle, I can't see it. Plus doesn't he play left like Kitch?Is £8 million the standard bid nowadays?
Given that Sheffield United are going to be one of the favourites for promotion, you could probably make a very good case for retaining Thomas and definitely not selling him to a promotion rival……
Sheffield United also wanted Hughes, so perhaps they rate Thomas higher than Hughes. Either way, it’s an odd trade for Cov to make, especially because we havent signed Hughes yet.
A fun situation would be to sell Thomas to the Blades and then see Sheffield sign Hughes as well.
We're the victim this week.People wanting to punt one of our two centre halves on the eve of our first away game, ( a Midland derby), is wild.
It'll be Leeds or Sunderland.Sky Sports are saying there’s also Premier League interest in him. Just like Hughes that makes him a £20m player in that case.
Yes, the kiss of death. Now Grimes will leave as well. To Leicester. On a freeHe ain't going nowhere. Just like Rudoni.
Most clubs must get several offers for their players.
Along with Grimes, I would put Bobby Thomas the least likely to leave the club. Infact, I don't think anyone will.
No way Lampard take this job in November if his best players will be sold in the summer.

View attachment 45206In the bottom 3rd of the leagues defenders for pass completion is why.
I don't think every outward transfer has to be against the clubs will. I fully believe Lampard would be asked if he'd rather keep Thomas or use the money from the sale of Thomas.He ain't going nowhere. Just like Rudoni.

Making 8x what we paid on him would be excellent business if we can get a replacement.
People say we need to upgrade the defence but then complain when we have to move people on. Seems a fair price to me and allows us to hopefully go and get players to suit FL.
