A slight copy on the shite Man City version of 'spending money on drugs and city'

Thing is how many potential signings will now look at us and think they mean business.
Kudos to Doug , start with a marquee signing and the club suddenly looks more attractive

Yes, previously very few people outside Coventry thought of us as promotion contenders, now we're being looked on as genuine contenders due to last season's efforts if not this coming season, then maybe in the near future.

Still got about 15m of rumoured gyok money even before we see if king puts his own money in.

Let's get spending. Need 5-6 players in minimum

2 rwbs
3 cbs
1 striker

Would be enough to give us a good squad?

Obviously a few more would be very welcome!

3 CBs would be a risk with one being Fadz. Likely to have no cover for fair periods. Think we need two more strikers in and probably an AM to cover while O’Hare gets up to fitness. Ideally a GK and CM too.

No 3 incoming CBS giving us 4 including fadz. Bidwell makeshift 5th

Would like a AM as o hare out till December. Sakamoto may fit the bill.

Yeah and we play three at the back so when Fadz is inevitably out we have no cover, Bidwell isn’t a solution. We lost four CBs we need four in.

I'm talking bare minimum 6 players in

Would love 11 like Pete says but I doubt it.

We had a small squad last year and got rid of what? 11? I’m really not sure about a first team squad of 23 when that includes the likes of Burroughs and Howley as well as Tavares and O’Hare, plus a year older Fadz and Kelly. You’re only 3 injuries in the squad away from kids on the bench. 8 minimum for me, ideally 12/13.

It will be a terrace fave by September. People said the same about Vik, Doug and Hamer songs and they are the most popular

Looked to me like Gus just happened to be stood there when Simms was walking past, rather than being there to specifically welcome him. So I'm not reading too much into that

Maybe he’s signed the extension but they perhaps want to announce him with the new kit maybe?

It’s a bit odd that every player must have their own song and people spend a lot of time thinking what song works with their name I’m not gunna lie

It's infinitely better than being one of those clubs who have 3 songs and think an atmosphere comes from waving a plastic flag around.

Post-match at Boro when each player stepped up to dance to their individual song was the single greatest example of connection between the team and SBA I’ve experienced in 25 years of following them.

Infinitely better than …… and it’s “insert team here“ “insert team here” FC, they’re by far the greatest team, the world has ever seen

This is a strange take, esp. as I bet you join in with every one of them. All the songs is part of what's led to people buying season tickets in record numbers. Hope it keeps going.

I'd like to see us spend on a wingback and a centre back TBH. Get Cameron Archer in on loan to partner Simms. 40 goals between them, who cares if our midfield doesn't score.
Click to expand...

Wow yes, Archer on loan would be a serious statement of intent. He's probably done too well with the England U21s though and will likely be a part of the Villa squad this season.

Yeah just read some of the opinion after his U21 performances and it does look like he’ll be staying at Villa.

I can't really get behind singing about individual players.... never have, never will.

Nothing against those that do.... but it isn't for me.

I've always been one for singing for the team/club.

But hero-worshipping individual players has never been one for me. They come and go.
