Is this the lad @Saddlebrains was on about or was that someone else?

Saddlebrains said UK based CM and that he'd been told he was a good player. That's about it i think. He was supposed to be doing some investigating.

Coventry can now pile more misery on rivals Birmingham as transfer news emerges

Coventry could be about to worsen Birmingham's already lacklustre season by beating them to the ambitious loan signing of Brentford midfielder Frank Onyeka.

Obviously I have no idea if this is true.

He's probably been doing something foolish like his actual job. Unacceptable.

Clickbait headline. The article says:

"Coventry surely set to win Onyeka race and further Birmingham’s woes

They are surely set to be an attractive option to players, like Onyeka, who are struggling for Premier League minutes right now.

It certainly would not be a shock to see them beat Birmingham to his signature this month, with Davies’ side having won just one of their last eight league games."

Saddle only does 2 jobs. Hand and blow, and neither should be taking this long.

Fiorentina now linked too (by some random site)

Not sure I can see this one happening - if it's a perm I'm not sure how we compete on wages?

Unless maybe it is a loan with obligation on promotion and higher wages agreed then.

There was no suggestion in what I posted that we had already signed him. Personally I wouldn't think it means any more than that our interest is serious.

You considered putting up a summer house in the back garden, or turning one of the kids rooms into a den?

I'd struggle to fit a chicken run in my back garden. Might turn one of the kids rooms into a padded cell.

Hot a mate who lives in Florence. I'll get him to tell the player it is shite and overrated.

Fiorentina, great club as they are, currently aren't in a great position. They've got a real survival fight on their hands to stay in Serie A. Currently in the bottom 3. Might not be as attractive as it looks at first glance.

Thinking logically, the guy said his dream was to play for Man UTD recently. His best chance at that right now is hunkering down in England, playing for a club that will almost certainly be in the Premier League next season. Honestly not too far fetched of a dream given the current state of things, remember when UTD signed Ighalo?

so in conclusion, all that we need is...

• cover for Grimes who's as good as him
• a destroyer good enough for an autos side
• attacking midfield competition for Rudoni

Dean and Doug - no pressure fellas!

Would tie in with what @Jimmy87 said. A lot of money for a 28 year old.

I think our deal we would do would only be a loan.

Maybe a loan with an obligation if promoted.

Although that figure isn't massive for a player with significant premier league experience.

Serious question. Who would we drop to play him? Grimes, Torp or Rudoni? Eccles can cover at least two of those and Esse and Asante at least one.

I see him as an Allen upgrade but he barely starts

You play Torp in games we expect to dominate and Onyeka in tougher games

I'd also be perfectly happy resting Grimes at times for him.

Looking at him he seems a bit different from Torp or Grimes. What we miss is someone who can come on, even at half time, and grab a game by the scruff of the neck and change the game's direction. We do not have that person and Hamer is not that style, but maybe this guy is. When you see what Kante did when he was at Leicester and then Chelsea. I think Doyle was a bit like this as was Wise but they aren't around anymore.
