I know this guy gets mentioned every summer but FLW reporting we’ve made an offer but Cardiff are set to get him

Sources: Coventry City table offer for Luton Town ace, finances could leave them short

Coventry City made an offer to James Collins last week but could be set to miss out to Cardiff City and their extra financial clout, Football League World has learned exclusively.

Cardiff are being linked with everyone ATM . Especially all the frees from Brizzle.
Read Warnock was hoping to get him to Middlesbrough.
Article I read suggested Moore might be on the move.

It’s an easy link to make up, interest before and from Coventry.

Even if we did end up signing James Collins, this rumour is made up. Eventually one of them has to be right

Can't wait till he retires so we can stop being linked with him every transfer window.

Top striker would be a great signing. Guarantee 15 goals

They may have guessed but, as you say, sometimes guesses are right.

He’s never scored 15 in the Championship, so how does he guarantee it?

No only does he always get mentioned but he’s played us off against teams offering more money twice now - Swindon for which he might be forgiven given our state of uncertainty under Thorne) and Luton. Always has it put about that he’s love to join his boyhood team only to follow the money.

I don’t mind people going for the best paid job they can get but I do resent being used as a pawn in getting a higher offer elsewhere.

I think you will find that in terms of his move to Luton he was set to join us and then Crawley asked for another 40k and Robins said no....not exactly his fault, although we signed sparky and that turned out ok

In fairness to the lad it will have been his agent doing the negotiating
I doubt a few quid in his weekly contract will have been the issue
Maybe the transfer fee?

Imagine you get a THIRD opportunity to play for your boyhood club and you sack it off again for a few more quid. What a bell.

No resale value, at the end of his peak, not going to develop further and will want a last big payday.

Avoid.

I think he could do a job, and an improvement on what we had last year, but don't disagree. Depends what other options are out there I guess.

Cardiff have got him. Don't think we were ever a contender.
