100% he’s held some of the budget back
100% he’s held some of the budget backI think that also. I’m sure some money has been held back for January. In the current climate they would have been stupid not too. Robins wanted one more signing in the summer but couldn’t. Maybe the money was held back for January.
Would be stupid not too. I reckon we’ll see a few new players in January or at least one loan. A few will be loaned out also but we’ll pay the majority of the wages.100% he’s held some of the budget back
Doubt Kasta will be on too many Jan sales lists but we have a lot of proven L1 players who teams will want. There will be money for at least one if we ship some out but they would have kept some money back.Fine for Robins to say we have no budget to do anything but if he ships players out he can surely bring some in.
Worse case you can let Baka, Kasta, Pask all go and get 2 players in or even 1 decent striker on loan.
Robins doesn’t really seem too different to me because when we have a fit squad Baka doesn’t even make the 18 and was only used Saturday out of necessity. Also Robins is hardly going to come out in front of the press and say he had a shit game really.
Delusion if you think he’s part of Robins future plans hahahahahahaOnly used out of necessity?
What rubbish.
He started the game while we had two strikers on the bench including a (relatively) big money signing.
He played, he did a job, and obviously did the job that Robins asked of him as he praised him afterwards.

Where?Baka was fine on Saturday. Yes he should offer more goal threat & his movement off the ball wasn't brilliant but he played his role well.
I know this will upset some but Biamou can't play that role hence why Robins opted for Baka.
He's already said today that he hasn't.
He'd have liked to get someone in but we don't have the budget to do so.
As delusional as thinking MR threw the towel in in Saturday ?Delusion if you think he’s part of Robins future plans hahahahahaha

Let’s hope he doesn’t but got to get to the window with what we’ve got.Well if walker gets injured we are fucked

Bakayoko is not a good league 1 player. He never has been.Well yeah, but if Marosi and Wilson got injured we'd be fucked.
If O'Hare and Shipley got injured we'd be fucked.
If Giles and Mccallum got injured we'd be fucked.
Injuries happen, unfortunately we don't have the budget to have 25 good Championship level players, we have some good Champ players and some good League One players.
I think people are too unrealistic as to how good they expect our backup players to be. We simply don't have the budget to have 4 quality strikers just in case 2 of them get injured.
Very true and it’s going to be a tough season. I’ll relax when we get to at least 50 points with games to spare but that is highly unlikely to happen. We’ve got to do it with what we’ve got for the next month and every player will most likely play their role, shit or otherwise.Well yeah, but if Marosi and Wilson got injured we'd be fucked.

That's a bit of a wide range !I reckon we’ll see a few new players in January or at least one loan.
Where?
Ok, I reckon we’ll get minimum of 2 players in. Half our squad will be in demand in l1 (depends who he’ll want to let go). It’s how he plays it. Every season we seem to get 10-12 new players in the summer and it’s worked so far but this year, admittedly it’s a massive step up. We’ll get a few in jan (prem clubs will loan players out).That's a bit of a wide range !
InnitNorwich can bitch about 13 injuries to their mega squad but whenever we have someone out it seems to be for ages and our squad was pretty small to begin with. Oh and it actually is bad luck as opposed to shin injuries obtained scything down the oppo
Not at all you are obviously very knowledgeable - great bit of info. Reading the Coventry live article today it sounds like it could stretch into months.There’s a poster who is, I think, a physio which gave a fairly good summary somewhere (might even be this thread if I could be bothered to look!) but my layman’s understanding of it is that it is inflammation (...itis) of the fascia which is a membrane surrounding muscles. When you take the skin off a chicken breast the thin membrane underneath is the fascia, when this is damaged or inflamed (the plantar bit is the bottom of the foot) it can ‘snag’ on the surrounding muscle etc. “Myofascial release” is what a personal trainer taught me to do for that issue, with the foot you can roll a tennis ball around under the sole to help, but I imagine a pro sportsman will have some hands-on from the medical team. I think it can be one of those niggly ones, sometimes goes away reasonably quickly, but can take longer. So I’m not sure if they will know for sure how long.
Apologies if I’m repeating anything (haven’t read the whole thread) or if my limited knowledge is incorrect, but that’s my understanding of it.
He would hardly say he’s got funds to bring in players before a big run of games. How demotivating for squad players. They would have kept some backTelegraph:
“We can think about things but we’ve had no supporters and no income so we can’t do anything.
“There’s very limited chances of that happening while, in an ideal world, you’d do something to cover that.
“You have to think about the league we’re in and the cost, which is unbelievable.
“I have said it before, the main thing is you don’t put the club at risk. We have a set of circumstances we’re working in and we have to do it sensibly and as well as we possibly can do.”
CCFC boss says in "ideal world" he'd draft in striker in Jan
City's leading scorer Matty Godden has missed four matches so far and manager Mark Robins has been told his injury could drag on for some timewww.coventrytelegraph.net

Time for Joy to reach into her handbag then. Sisu took us to the depths but being in the champ with the level of away fans that could come to some games (yes, even at St. Andrews) once things have improved is a moneymaker. Other clubs will have more out goings than us and they’re in the same boat. For example, I doubt Baka would be motivated if he was told I’ve got money to replace you in jan, or Allen who has been poor. Motivation will go out the window and you’d just keep yourself fit for a move or look for a payoff. If we survive this season we’ll be in a better place.it would be very motivating. Of course we have no money we are borrowing every year and last years accounts will look horrific
Doubt he’s hiding a war chest. They’ll be something for Jan. they would have budgeted for this.
You have got kids man you must have some luck with a bony bitNormal stairs. Still got the kids to school (on crutches). I don’t have the best of luck with the bony bits of my body it is fair to say.
We still have one loan to take if we can find the right player. Players will be loaned out. Players will ask at their respective clubs for their contracts so they can be moved on although our wage offerings might not be something to shout about. He’ll have to wheel and deal a bit.During his second spell here we haven’t signed anyone permanently in January. Chaplin signed in January but that was already agreed as part of the loan
We will bring players in jan at least 1 I think 2 maybe loans but players will come inDuring his second spell here we haven’t signed anyone permanently in January. Chaplin signed in January but that was already agreed as part of the loan
