Don’t know much about him but fits the strategy most of us want.

Knowing we’ve still got 8-9 presents to unwrap too in the next few days / weeks. It’s all quite exciting isn’t it.

Spending actual decent money on young players with high potential... and there's 9 more to come. What a time to be alive.

Joey Barton's comments after Thomas asked to have his loan cancelled by Bristol Rovers in January

"The manager added: "Not only that, I’ll level with you, we’ve had enough of him as well. He is a young player and he came in and did well, but virtually a goal a game and he was causing a lot of issues."

Joey Barton is an absolute spiteful c**t so I wouldn’t trust anything he says - especially when he has said them after a player has left his team

So he’s right footed and played exclusively in a back three last season - is he being signed as Fadz’s ultimate replacement in the middle? Barton mentioned him as not being suited to an ‘outside CB’ position but not sure where he played for Barnsley.

He played right side and many Barnsley fans rated him highly

From a quick glance it looks like at Brizzle Rovers he played as the right centre back in a back four and at barnsley he played on the right of a back 3 when mads andersen was playing, and in the centre when he wasn’t

Latibeaudiere was playing LCB in a 3 at the back end of 21/22 for Swansea. Potentially could be Lati - Fadz - Thomas but like others have said we'll probably be adding a couple more in that position.

New CB - Thomas - Lati is probably the long term goal

Until I see the CT report on this I refuse to believe it’s true. I’ve been waiting an hour for the ads to load. It’s like dial-up internet all over again.

They spent the best part of 50 million euros in transfers last summer, in the Championship. Hardly in any position to make silly comments like that towards us spending a bit of the Vik money. Silly twats.

Wow, <£10M on 5 players, an absolutely wild spend... Is this clown being ironic?

Also the arows at the bottom of the image suggests that he is moving from City to Burnley.

Seven-figure fee agreed as Coventry City swoop for Burnley player

Bobby Thomas is on his way to the Sky Blues in a deal that looks to be separate from the Clarets' interest in Gustavo Hamer

Doubt Mark robins would pay 2 million for somebody who wasn't extremely talented with scope to improve massively .. Will be a good player for city if he signs

No idea about him. I’ll take him, would still like to see a left footer come in, and a decent partner for Simms then I think the first team is looking OK.

I mean, to be fair, we've had a cash injection of circa £17m (minus a sell on fee % to BHA) so I doubt it's Doug digging deep.

I'm normally the first to post like yours but we've had quite a bit of revenue come into the coffers these last couple of months.

Him and Kitching and Andersen were a great defence, any three of them I would've been happy with so glad weve picked up Thomas, burnley fans rated him highly. Might even end up with Kitching too yet.

Tbf its another one that had been rumoured, similar to Simms and Joel.. maybe there is something in at least some of the other rumours floating about. Kitching, Willock, Vente etc...
