17th choice?
Done deal
Posted at23:14
Coventry, rock bottom of League One and heading for the fourth tier, have signed Watford forward Michael Folivi on loan. He must have been about 17th choice striker at Vicarage Road.
BBC pretty much spot on with this one
What's the other half like?He looks half decent
i don't know what some of you expect
Reality check, we are a fucked basket case of a club at the foot of division 3 with a disgruntled fan base.
Why aren't we signing quality experienced 20 goal strikers?!
Beggars can't be choosers

No, me too.Exactly. I must be the only one who expected it to be a lot worse than it actually was.
What players are actually available at this level?

I just genuinely believed he had to have a genuine target man just ready to sign.
Especially because of the style of football.
I genuinely would swap any of the players linked to moving out for a proper striker.
Positives:
1) We've bought six new players in, all of whom have shown glimpses of adding something to the team. The exception perhaps being Reilly who seems no better than anyone we already had.
2) Those six also included three defenders, an area that needed addressing.
3) Depsite the rumours (and subsequent pandemonium on here) we resisted all offers for players. Side note - still not sure what has prompted the change of stance from SISU.
4) Still two players on trial, so we could still strength further.
Negatives:
1) The only one that really matters - no target man type striker signed. RS surely now has to change his tactics, we cannot play hoofball to any of the existing strikers. Plus it is clearly not working.
2) While the signings will hopefully improve the team, none are participating exciting or inspiring.
Yes, my one big worry. For the tactics we have been deploying we haven't brought the right type of player in, that of a big strong target man.Positives:

So he has only played 1 game. But that was in the Prem. How many players do we have that would get a game in a Prem side? He will have been coached to a good standard. And he can score goals.Can't see this Folivi guy making one iota of difference. He's 18, only turned professional in 2015 and has played just one first team game.
Surely George Thomas would be ahead of him in the pecking order?

Not what I was hoping for but still looks like a decent signing.
So Bournemouth have a better GK than one we loaned a few years ago. What is your point?Ryan Allsopp is on the bench for B'mouth regularly.
Be very careful my friend.

I think one in is okay. My only gripe that it is not a big strong target man.Anybody taking odds on articles about the transfer window rage that only mentions the 1 signing on deadline day?
.....of course we will. :joyful:I am just disappointed because we need a nasty bugger up front to ruffle the defences not sure an 18 year old is going to do that....ahh well lets hope we recruit well in the summer so we don't have to face this shit yet again next season in league 2
Lawton.. why? Wheres the evidence of his ability? Spence had a decent pre season but nothing more. Thomas, I assume George, is a regular now. Harries until very recently was behind 3 permanent signings.I'm pleased that Willis, Haynes, Harries and Stevenson weren't sold on the cheap. I was convinced at least 2 of the 3 would go. Yes it would be nice to have signed a big target man but good strikers are hard to come by and we don't have a pot to piss in so beggars can't be choosers.
My only real gripe is that the likes of Lawton, Harries, Spence, Thomas etc should be playing regularly ahead of loanees.

Slade has announced there could be one more player in by the end of this week.
It's the same experienced player he was chasing last week.
All too little, too late surely.
In the case ofLawton, we have long been told of his potential, seems odd that we gave him a short term contract while injured only to release him now. Especially we will more than likely need to rebuild for next season ( probably in league 2)
Yes, true. Never thought of that. Don't think it will be though, do you?Depends who it is I guess, if it's a goalie it;s never too late.
Doesn't sound like it. It's the same player from previous. Some thinking Odemwingi and some, Carlton Cole.Any club should always be looking for that something to improve the team, but at some point I think you have to look at it and know when to call it a day and admit the situation your in.
Unless that player will be part of plans going forwards to 2017/18.
