More players incoming tomorrow? (1 Viewer)

We don't need a defender over and above a forward by my reckoning we have 7 defenders plus Willis back training, we need goals, we have no where near enough attempts at goal.

Otis · Mar 24, 2016

In fact he has now just said in the press conference no loan players coming in at all.

Has hinted there may still be signings though and has spoken of a powerful attacking player (must be young though, as he is talking about for maybe 2 seasons time) and a foreign midfielder. Seems they have been training with us.

Ditto AFC.

AFCCOVENTRY · Mar 24, 2016

Wonder who the foreign midfielder is? Kept under wraps.

I think the kid is the Otshudi kid?

rupert_bear · Mar 24, 2016

These players must be unattached then.

rupert_bear · Mar 24, 2016

Who is Otshudi then. ?

This is the guy from Strachan's football academy I think. Been with us a while now.

Otis · Mar 24, 2016

Mentions him here.

Dylan Otshudy.

Strachan's football foundation.

Heard on the grapevine Vladimir ghadzev Bulgarian international could be way off base

More like an anagram of Otis duh!

Here you go. He is a midfielder and is also a free agent.

Also a footballer too apparently, so that bit fits as well and it could be him I suppose.

Otis · Mar 24, 2016

Bulgarian international.

Terry Gibson's perm · Mar 24, 2016

No good for us as he seems to score the odd goal that would mean that he would need to leave his own half unlike Fleck!

But seriously if he can pass it forward and yo one of our players he is already a better option that the previously mentioned player

AFCCOVENTRY · Mar 24, 2016

Vladimir Gadzhev rejeced Maccabi Haifa offer. Still without a club. @asulin_elad

AFCCOVENTRY · Mar 24, 2016

We won't have any midfielders next year with Fleck, O'Brien, Murphy, Cole, Maddison etc all leaving,

I think Mogga is doing the right thing by bringing in players now for next season.

Agree, well as long as he's not bringing players for next year accepting and believing we'll still be in League One.

I am hoping he believes that Jones and Rose are good enough for the Championship and if it's this Bulgarian, then him too.

Otis · Mar 24, 2016

Tis the one thing I am curious about. We don't know what division we are going to be in yet next season.

Looking at Rose I would say I think he can do a job in League One. Championship though? I very much have my doubts, though of course we haven't seen that much of him yet.

Dimi_Konstantflapalot · Mar 24, 2016

TM hasn’t mentioned much about new contracts for existing players? I know we don’t yet know what league we will be in next season, but you would think there are a couple who could/should at least be part of a squad for both, and so would merit at least another year?

Martin, Fleck, Stokes all spring to mind.

You haven't a clue about football. I don't think Kent is the messiah but if you can't see how a player like him stretches teams you must be blind.

If you stretch a team you need to be able to reap the benifits of it.

You could put a Jack Russell on the left wing and the defenders wouldn't be able to get the ball off him, but eventually he'll run the ball out for a throw or give it to the opposition by accident.

Nothing that Kent did when he was here was anything more than that. In three games time half the fans would be wanking over his step overs whilst the other half would remember how frustrating he was.

As for 'not having a clue about football', I've hardly seen anything on here from you that really pulls up trees, it's usually just shitty comments about other people's posts rather than stirling football intelligence or meaningful opinion.

Absolutely this.

It's good he's thinking about next season, but we also have an immediate goal, which is to be sitting in the playoffs in 9 games time.

If we can strengthen now, we really need to.

SlowerThanPlatt · Mar 24, 2016

Think the forward is Otshudy. Fits the description.

We're also looking at one or two Nike Academy players for our U21s

Isn't Jodi Jones supposed to be just that?

We will see.. but if he dont play him maybe we wont.. he seems to like getting players in and not playing them much Henderson etc

but how can you offer some but not all? be great for morale on the run in that!!

Hobo · Mar 24, 2016

Too early for contract negotiations for next season. I am sureTM has an opinion on who he would keep, although some of that might be influenced by what league we are in.

smileycov said:

I take your point - but it doesn’t leave much time at all to sort out contract extensions once the season finishes (especially if we make the playoffs) without leaving the possibility of other clubs starting negotiations with players in the last month of their deal. Means we may run the risk of losing Fleck, Martin, Stokes etc.

Ah well, fuck it I’m sure it’s all under control.

stevefloyd · Mar 24, 2016

If you was in a similar position and your contract was up and for arguments sake you got £500 a week but IF the club got promoted you would then get £1000 a week when would you sign a new contract ?

If there was an enhanced salary on promotion maybe, there is some value in being settled, especially if you have a family.

SlowerThanPlatt · Mar 24, 2016

We are signing\interested in Bilal Sayoud from the Nike Academy. 18 year old winger. Will try and find out the other Nike Academy player we're interested in.

AFCCOVENTRY · Mar 24, 2016

Bilal looks like a good prospect for the academy.

Very true but greed being the order of the day i guess many would take the wait and see approach...or have a good agent saying if we gain promotion... but i guess we will never know exactly what goes on behind the scenes

97 born, turns 19 in May

SlowerThanPlatt · Mar 24, 2016

Bilal Sayoud signs. Two year deal

fernandopartridge · Mar 24, 2016

Good that we're signing players with the longer term in mind. Mowbray must have heard all the SBT experts moaning.

SlowerThanPlatt · Mar 24, 2016

The Nike Academy is a decent standard. Two players have just joined clubs who could be playing in the Premier League next year, Sean Clare to Sheffield Wednesday and Tafoiq Olomowewe to Burnley.

Nick · Mar 24, 2016

Looks like he's got number 11?

Critiquing. The word is critiquing, not moaning
