Armstrong staying? Rose signing? New CB?

[Nick]

It's me, I went down to the kids party and scored a belter. They want me on a 2 year deal but I said my options need to stay open so I will sign for 6 months

 

[mechaishida]

Eh? Wha?

What's going on, then?

 

[Nick]

On a serious note, it is Andy Rose signing.

1.5 year contract - http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/transfer-andy-rose-coventry-city-seattle-sounders-2866232.aspx

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Andy Rose has signed

 

[torchomatic]

Sounds good.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Not eligible until the 2nd of Jan

 

[mechaishida]

Ah, good good.

But wait, does this bode well with the Fleck situation? Now that I think about it...

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Judging by TM Rose isn't ready yet for the first team. Will be drip fed in 2nd half of season it seems to understand the 'Jedi way'

 

[olderskyblue]

"He's six foot three, very lean, upright and covers the ground and eats the grass up when he runs.

I'll sign him up to do my lawn every fortnight....

Seriously, a tall, good midfielder? Sounds like a reasonable asset.

 

[Nick]

Eats grass? Sounds like the reindeer at the Xmas party!

 

[dongonzalos]

Hope that's not to fill in for Fleck.
Sounds like he has potential

We've always known Fleck has potential, Don.

Yes, this is what I posted earlier - hopefully, Fleck will stay and Rose is the cover. Might result in Bigi going back to Newcastle though.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I'd hope that this means we have Fleck and Bigi competing as the more creative Midfielders and Vincelot and Rose competing for the breakup player

That would make sense. We have no cover for Vincelot at all really, have we.

 

[wingy]

Idon't have thought he was cover for Vincelot.

 

[wingy]

Flaming predictive!!
I'd

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

1.5 year contract so Mowbray must have some belief he can cut it at this level

 

[Gazolba]

I think this guy will turn out to be a great signing. MLS is a higher standard than L1 so he should have no problem flourishing with us now or even if we get promoted. And he's 6'3"!

 

[skybluetony176]

Sounds like he has some good attributes. Should be a good signing. Well done TM

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Can someone let A.Durham know we only deal in loans? Hang on...

Bye bye conor Thomas

Where did Adam Barton go to (Portsmouth?) and is he getting a game?

 

[rupert_bear]

Word from the inside is this Mark Rose is the business potentially played with that Clint Dempsey at Seatle now if o remember correct he does know where the net is

 

[Esoterica]

Where did Adam Barton go to (Portsmouth?) and is he getting a game?

Yes to Portsmouth and no, not really. Makes the bench, most weeks, usually unused sub in the last couple of months.

Cheers. He's not without talent but seems to dip below every target he's set.

 

[Otis]

Is he more like a Conor Thomas, but with some attibutes?

 

[dongonzalos]

We've always known Fleck has potential, Don.

Some numpties didn't

 

[shmmeee]

Good signing. Fills a hole in the squad with Thomas and Lawton out for the rest of the season. Get Bigi in permanently as well. Fuck Cole off, bring in a CB in Jan. Loan a keeper and a couple of strikers and we're good.

 

[rupert_bear]

Why get rid of Cole ? The only problem with him is fitness which was probably underestimated once he gets up to speed he will be okay in the 5 short games he has played he has made two and score one. He's a class act and class is permenent and is costing us very little so I have heard.

 

[PVA]

Hopefully be a good signing. We could do with some extra height in the team as well

 

[Specs WT-R75]

There is always the possibility that Vincelot will be moved into the back 4 (not that I want this to happen), so having Rose as cover for Vincelot makes alot of sense.

Hasn't he been injured in one way or another since 2013? Surely he came here to get match fit not fit? How long are you going to give him? How long has he got to go give us at 34? That is not young for a creative midfielder. I just feel some people are blinded by his status. I would rather invest money in Fleck, Biggi and Maddison. People we can build a team around long term. If TM thinks he has coaching potential I would go with that, but I don't even know whether Cole has his badges and whether that's where he sees his future?

We know for sure that Cole is not here for the money. So it is either coaching or one last hurrah... or both.
