I'm struggling with our squad so I'm starting this thread to list new recruits.
IN
Reda Johnson - Perm
Danny Pugh - Perm
Jim O'Brien - Perm
Danny Swanson - Perm
Mohamed Coulibaly - Loan til Jan
Ryan Allsop - Loan til Jan
OUT
Joe Murphy - Huddersfield
Blair Adams - Notts County
Franck Moussa - Charlton
Mark Marshall - Port Vale
Callum Wilson - Bournemouth
Cyrus Christie - Derby
I hope the team proves me wrong .but I have a feeling its going to be a hard long season .not sure the quality is there and we have sold the best players.I think relegation depends on playing at sixfeilds or Ricoh.

Is it quantity or quality that we want?Seems we've signed loads of players, but we're really only one player up on last season.
Have we not also lost some loan players such as Nathan Delfouneso, Dylan McGeouch, David Prutton, Nathan Eccleston and Anton Robinson? These players would have freed up some cash for wages.
And Mark Marshall
I think its telling that the players "out" have nearly all gone to higher league teams and the new recruits are free transfers from teams who in some cases are higher in the league structure than us but have not deemed them good enough to retain their services.
Secondly to that we had a small squad last season and so far its looking just as threadbare.
Johnson - still wanted by Wednesday fans
O'Brien - turned down offers to join us
Swanson - turned down offers to join us
Pugh - a quality replacement for Adams. Very consistent
Allsop - first choice with Bournemouth as try got promoted
Coulibaly - unknown entity. If we can get him fit, he'll be an assert
Miller - get him fit, he'll score goals
Tudgay - high quality striker
What staggers me is that we seem to have got ourselves into the position where no one is surprised by yet another diminution of our footballing status by losing the likes of Murphy, Moussa and Wilson. Their replacements are not of the same quality and the squad, as it stands, is unlikely to get us promoted.
When you consider Coventry is the 10th largest city in England with a population of nearly 330,00 - and there is only one league team within that city - and we are still playing in the third tier of English football, in a "home stadium" 35 miles away you really have to wonder when we'll all wake up from this collective nightmare.
It is complete and utter madness.
So, six out and ten in so far. Still think we need another couple.
only if you don't include the loans out but do include the loans in which doesn't seem a reasonable position to me,
Would that be an extra 2 out? Trying to think back to who we had end of last season!
google says Anton Robinson was on loan with us till the end of the season too, so 5 I guess.
We've no chance have we? 4 players down on last season's woefully small squad
