Peter Shilton has played 125 times for England, should we sign him?

No, he hasn't played a competitive game for 23 years so is unlikely to be match fit.

SeaSeeEffCee · Nov 27, 2020

Do people seriously think we’d better off with a 28 year old whose played less than 50 games of league football in goal ahead of a guy who has played 500+ games in the Championship?

The idea that Wilson was ever brought in with the intention of being genuine competition for Marosi is absolute nonsense as well, it was clear to anyone who the first choice was going to be based off their individual pedigree and the quotes from last summer saying the contrary were clearly just your typical bit of pre-season manager speak.

Always thought he looked ok when he played against us for forest. Mind you that was about 10 years ago

ms639 · Nov 27, 2020

What the fuck is everyone on about here. Marosi has a fractured cheekbone. We need a 2nd keeper...

Do we really have three other keepers who are not good enough to play in the Championship? Seems a massive oversight by the club if so.

Lots of keepers can stop shots but his fundamentals and concentration are poor, he's a mistake waiting to happen.

Less an oversight and more the reality of a newly promoted club on a budget.

Lee Camp is good enough to do well and keep his place.

If we sign Camp I can see us moving on Wilson

He was signed on a 3 year deal too so would have to pay up 18 months wages - is it worth using the budget to do that to then have to use a bit more of the budget bringing in another who might be less content sitting on the bench.

Makes sense but if u were Wilson ud be fairly pissed

He's never really been more than a back-up his entire career. It seems he's more than happy to be a bench warmer. I guess as long as he's being paid he'll put up with it.

AFCCOVENTRY · Nov 27, 2020

Should be an announcement later today according to AT. Most likely to be Camp.

The goalkeeping equivalent of that run and cross Giles did against Rotherham.

That could end up being Wilson. "Remember that cross he took at the end of the Cardiff game?"

AFCCOVENTRY · Nov 27, 2020

Confirmed. Lee Camp signs

Just to say, a lot of people on the Facebook group seem to think that Camp is crap

Well I think Crapp is camp.

Guarantee there will be comments from Blues and Sunderland fans.... wouldn't surprise me if there is a thread on their forum.

He’s a Brexit man so he’s a nailed on guaranteed starter for at least 52% of our fan base.

Good signing

Deleted member 5849 · Nov 27, 2020

Grab a coffee, and wait for Camp.

Anyway, only issues I have is whether age has blunted him, and how intensely he's been keeping himself fit while he hasn't had a club.

But he is, at least, a goalkeeper and he does have some pedigree.

AFCCOVENTRY · Nov 27, 2020

We are pleased to announce the signing of Goalkeeper Lee Camp on a short-term-deal!

The 'keeper joins the Sky Blues on a two-month-deal, which will see Camp come in and add to the goalkeeping department following the injury sustained to Marko Marosi on Wednesday night.

The 36-year-old has racked up almost 600 appearances throughout his career, playing for the likes of Derby, Queens Park Rangers, Nottingham Forest and most recently, Birmingham City.

Last season, Camp made 40 appearances for the Blues during his 16th season in the Championship, with two of those games including both FA Cup ties against the Sky Blues.

The experienced shot-stopper has also represented Northern Ireland on 9 separate occasions.

He's signed... wasn't today....

Oh, if he's still got the man-bun he can get lost, too.

TomRad85 · Nov 27, 2020

Really happy with that. We simply could not afford to go into these fixtures with Wilson in goal.

AFCCOVENTRY · Nov 27, 2020

He actually made 40 appearances last season in the Championship so not bad to get that experience for a few months.

The same people also believe that the DFS sale is ending on Sunday

I don’t see how anyone can complain. Don’t know how good Wilson is but this signing is not exactly a ringing endorsement of his abilities

AFCCOVENTRY · Nov 27, 2020

Liquid Gold · Nov 27, 2020

A guy who played 40 times in the Championship last season and kept a clean sheet against us or a guy who hasn't played 40 games in his career and had a shocker against us?

Cov fans gonna Cov fan.

Can’t complain considering this is a short term free transfer. Lucky someone who played a full season was available.

Going to be haters but I remember Donny fans saying Marosi was shit.

He loves a camera save.

Mixed comments on the Bluenose forum, but some saying he was one of their best player post lockdown.

Sense he'll be fine for us short-term. Seems to be decent with his feet, which will suit our style of play.

Ccfcisparks · Nov 27, 2020

Couldnt have done much better in the circumstances. Well done Mark.

Magwitch · Nov 27, 2020

Signed: 2 month contract
