There's definitely something fishy going on, Markelo wore disposable hospital gloves the whole day yesterday...
 
And JD when announcing him said 'and so nice for him to finally be here.. Markelo'
 
Clearly people are putting 2+2 together on this and coming up with whatever, but there is alot of slightly odd bits happening. Especially when weve made a considerable outlay.

Sure a good summer pre season will be what he needs, personally, thought he looked a little heavy in his cameo's.

It may be an initial 6 month loan is needed.
 
Are we ready to admit this was a strange signing now? We had 1 foot in the premier league when he signed, signing the Burnley lad has put him further down the pecking order and I wouldn’t be surprised if we signed another winger. Hopefully gets a loan to a championship team to show what he can do.

I mean we literally do not know plans for him. When he came on he came on at LW

Why are folks so obsessed with doing this

No.

No, patience is a virtue. The club might really like him with a bit of coaching and a preseason behind him.

Some players are projects and it can take time for them to make an impact.
 
Let’s be honest. In the last 15 years if Coventry paid money for someone they would be expected to be regular starters. But like most top teams it is ok to buy someone as a project.

Now we are in the Premier League at current prices 8-10m seems to get you a project. 15m-20m for an okay player.

Was talking to my Leicester supporting gaffer and he said he couldn't believe Man City were being linked with Monga for 10 mil.

I said that's just a cheap punt for them, the equivalent of the 25k Zain Westbrooks we used to take a chance on.
 
For all we know Austin may have unearthed a hidden gem who’s been given time to settle in. Only time will tell once the new season starts Let’s trust the process Austin hasn’t got much wrong since he started in 2022
 
Markelo aged 23 - "hes is a youngster, theres no rush, one for development "

Bassette aged 21 "he's shit, never going to be good enough, get rid"

Lampard, quite clearly, had had enough of Bassettes attitude.
I like Bassette but I remember Lampard speaking about him in an interview and he was quite tetchy about him. Ive never heard Lampars speak in that way about any other player
 
Markelo was signed with Premier League in view. To be developed.
Bassette was signed to be developed in the Championship, and only proved he could run a lot. I think FL may move him on. Always happy to be proven wrong though.
 
Someone had our pants down over Markelo I suspect. He’s not 18 is he ?
He’ll be out on loan like Rodriguez before you know it and then on his way for a loss.
