Of he can play AM with those dribbling skills any combination of him o hare and Palmer could cause opposition defences some problems opening up space for Sims

We got to get better at final passes and shooting though

I assume you mean press as in gegenpress rather than press as in media?

I like the Asian players always have a good work ethic and disciplined. If he turns out half as good as the Celtic guy and spurs Son, then we're onto a winner..

It’s something Robins had been saying we’re trying to replicate since we got promoted back to the Championship.

We’ve had a clear out and starting again fresh. Losing Gyokeres is a blow, but if we’re actually getting a good chunk of that money to spend, it’ll be business very well done.

I may even start singing the Doug King chant I used to cringe at sooner rather than later…

Even if we sign 1-2 wingers, we’re not likely to change formation. 3-4-2-1 / 3-4-3 are more or less the same formation and my guess would be Sakamoto would be deployed on the right side cutting in.

That is, my first impression of the highlights of a player I’d never heard of until now so I could be wide of the mark.

It's the model we need to follow. Have to sell big players really. But if we get good prices and replace well it sets up well Vs more poorly run clubs

I’d accepted we’d seen Gyokeres for the last time after Dabo missed the penalty. Hamer too, but I have hope we’re willing to spend the money to get him to extend his contract.

Which, I’d have 100% taken because Hamer was our MVP in the playoffs and in the last month of the season. Plus, I don’t think we’d get good value for him in this window.

Definitely want to keep hamer. Replacing gyok will be hard and hopefully Simms will do it but replacing two big players in one window is asking a lot of any recruitment team.

No links to a transfer tho makes me hopeful he is staying

Coventry has a decent sized student population from the Far East. I wonder what the breakdown of it is by nationality? Mostly Chinese I guess?

No transfer to KAA Gent or KRC Genk for Tatsuhiro Sakamoto , but to England. The flank attacker leaves KV Oostende and goes to work at Coventry

Het Nieuwsblad comes out with that news . The Japanese flank attacker has been linked to Ghent and Genk in recent weeks, who had to pay about two million euros to bring Sakamoto into their home. However, both teams did not want to go that far, so that Coventry City could bring the Japanese in.

The 26-year-old Sakamoto played 32 times for the Coastal Team last season. The flank attacker was good for seven assists. KVO sees another important pawn leave. Earlier, Guillaume Hubert, Nick Bätzner, Cameron McGeehan, Brecht Capon and Osaze Urhoghide also left the team.

I actually managed to convert 5 of my coworkers in Tokyo across to following us.

I was working out there this year and football was our common ground. I walk into work most Mondays to an MS teams chat discussing the coventry result.

The Japanese team they all followed is a horror show though, but I did wear my Omiya Ardija scarf to Wembley for a picture.

I ended up sending them all Coventry scarves and mugs for the office, doing my bit for the clubs overseas revenue streams.
