apparently we are making a late bid according to the telegraph,

http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/co...late-swoop-for-cody-mcdonald-92746-29334868/?

so it looks like the duke will go tonight if parkin and mcdonald both sign today.

just spoken to a guy at work who is a gills fan and he says that cody is awesome.... quite quick and knows where the back of the net is.... apparently plays best with a big man along side him (so parkin then) as he is a little bit light weight

SydneySkyBlue · Aug 31, 2011

I'll believe it when I see it. Until then it's just another lie by Ken to appease the fans.

macdonald and juke sounds good to me! KEEP THE JUKEEEEEEEEE

Would rate him as good as Le Fondre who many were creaming themselves over - personally would rather have a Prem striker on loan eg: Cox or Bednar but I am sure SISU would rather have some assets to sell further down the road and loans are just dead money.

Cody is a prem striker, he plays for Norwich

Il Pirata · Aug 31, 2011

I would have thought his brother Ronald was more in keeping with SISU's vision for the club.

If thats the way SISU do things, KEEP JUKE..... If he continues to improve he will be a big player for us. Rather Juke than Parkin any day!!

:blue:

Otis · Aug 31, 2011

He sounds promising.

Maybe far too good for us then?

Sky Blue Sheepy · Aug 31, 2011

Parkin + McDonald upfront does sound quite nice...

At least Ronald Mcdonald might be cover for Clingan if he goes, I mean with feet that frikkin big he could cover a lot of ground

Apparently on his way for a medical!

SkyBlueMania · Aug 31, 2011

At last someone who can finish! If Juke stayed they could have a nice little partnership, never mind...

CovLis86 · Aug 31, 2011

The boy looks quick! Can use his head, hard shot.... I know its league 2 but he definetely looks above that level.

It does indeed. Wasn't too chuffed about the prospect of Parkin coming here, but that was based upon him fitting in with our current squad. Parkin alongside a pacy goal getter is a different prospect entirely.

Gaskell · Aug 31, 2011

According to Skysports we are 'poised' to sign Code McDonald http://www.skysports.com/football/transfer_clockwatch/0,23710,14896,00.html

AFCCOVENTRY · Aug 31, 2011

If you look at the goals he scored it is his big partner next to him supplying him.

Looks like a real goal poacher with pace and can use his head.

Could be a nice addition to the team.

But let's see who is leaving.

Clinigan going will be a massive blow.

AFCCOVENTRY · Aug 31, 2011

kysports.com understands Coventry are poised to sign Norwich striker Cody McDonald.

Coventry are believed to have agreed a fee with Norwich for McDonald with the player travelling to the Ricoh Arena for talks and a medical.

Peterborough have also made a bid for McDonald, but Coventry now appear in pole position to land the 25-year-old.

McDonald impressed during a loan spell at Gillingham last season, scoring 25 goals in 41 League Two appearances and a number of clubs have been chasing his signature.

He is well down the pecking order at Norwich and Canaries boss Paul Lambert is willing to let him move on.

Coventry boss Andy Thorn is desperate to bolster his attacking options and he is hoping to strike a deal for McDonald before the transfer window slams shut at 11pm.

AFCCOVENTRY · Aug 31, 2011

Murphy
Christie Keogh Cranie Hussey
Bell Bigi TBA McSheffrey
Parkin McDonald

Il Pirata · Aug 31, 2011

TBA = Clingan

TheParsonsHose · Aug 31, 2011

I would be happy with Cody and Parkin. Parkin may be a lump of a guy but he could hold the ball up like Juke does, who knows.

Clingan runs the midfield for us and we have no cover for him IMO, we would be better to get cover and keep so lets hope we get enough from a Juke and Turner deal!

He's a very determined quick little fella. When he was a sperm and made it to the egg, killing 40 million others he looked back and thought, “I can do better than that".

Not so good at defending though. Sometimes pulls out of tackles, he just doesn't seem to have the balls to go in two footed!

Ha ha ha, has Ken even actually said anything about this? I'm all for blaming Orange Ken for stuff but come on, how has the rumour of us signing Cody MacDonald turned into an anti Ken Dulieu sentence?

Then again, I still reckon Orange Ken is responsible for global warming, WW2 and the fact that those Feast Ice Creams are now smaller.

SydneySkyBlue · Aug 31, 2011

I just assume the rumour comes from within the club. In the same way Hoff tried to spin things in his favour.

Anyway, it's on the sky sports website that McD is on his way up for talks and a medical. So looks more likely.

As City fans we know to still expect to be let down though right?

Cody Mcdonald having medical with Coventry according to Fourth Official twitter.
