12 now for the season.
If that transfer embargo was lifted sooner it would have been James Collins and DMC strike force.
Maybe he will come to us in the championship next season if we keep this up.

Any proof he didnt come because of the embargo and not that he got a good offer at swindon? We came out of the embargo 2 or 3 days later. If he really wanted to play here he could have waited?
Leon Clarke is much more complete footballer than Collins.
Face it, your old mate Thorny will never manage in football again.
FFS just give up.
Try hair of the dog G man it may help.
Anyway back to the OP topic.
James Collins came here looked round and wanted to sign. Shame the embargo was on and SISU hadn't have sorted it.
Would Hansen nice to have a 12 goal striker as a permanent
Player at the club.
Although am I right it would have ended up costing us 350k after the tribunal?
Again, if he really wanted to he would have waited a couple of days for when we came out?

How do we know how long he waited?
Common sense would say he waited from when he was shown round the Ricoh to when he signed for someone else.
I assume the fact he is a cov lad, he came and spoke to the manager and took a tour of the Ricoh. The fact that we are probably the biggest club in the division. That you do think it is highly likely that he did actually want to sign for us.
How long is that?
How long were the club telling us we days away from coming out of the embargo, only for it to turn into weeks and months
Or how long was it from when Collins got shown round to him signing for someone else?
How long was it between him being linked, shown around, us coming off the embargo and him signing for swindon?
Maybe We can take it from the horses mouth instead
James Collins has revealed he was close to joining Coventry until delays in the move meant he chose Swindon instead.
The 21-year-old also attracted interest from Watford and Sheffield United after turning down a new deal at Shrewsbury , but opted instead to join the Robins.
The striker told BBC Wiltshire: "Coventry's my hometown and it would have been a honour to play for them.
"But we know they're in embargo difficulties and once I met with Paolo [Di Canio] I didn't want to wait."

He would have chosen Di Canio over Thorn even if we didn't have the embargo.
FFS just give up.
We came out of embargo on June 20th
That says he wanted to play for di canio?
He signed for swindon on the 18th. Surely if he REALLY wanted to play for us we were the best offer he would have waited 2 days?
So he knew we were coming out if embargo for sure on te 20th.
Did we ever get told any day now for a long time before this date
He signed for swindon on the 18th. Surely if he REALLY wanted to play for us we were the best offer he would have waited 2 days?
But would he have known the embargo was only 2 days away from being lifted ?
