he's on really a lot more a week than other clubs will give him so not sure he really wants to leave.

I guess if you really want him off the books you make up the difference in his contract for a year, i think thats a thing that happens right? Made up figures but say we pay him 6k a week, someone else is offering him 3k a week for 2 years, we make up the difference between 3 and 6 for that first year.

Wonder if Tommy Doyle is worth exploring on loan? Sheffield United obviously have Hamer now and are apparently in talks with Tom Davies.

Never really got the fuss over him - I remember seeing him in some funny 'casual' clothes, and him having long hair. that's about it.

I think he is easily good enough, tbf. Possibly a loan abroad?

likely, if not a recently relegated one

he also started their game so is pretty high up the pecking order there

So, the same question applies: How do we convince a Premier League prospect and his parent club to come to Cov on a rotational basis?

Either the prospect is so good that they would clearly be first choice, which I cant see happening given the level of investment in that area or we take a mediocre player on loan that can provide useful cover. If it is the latter, then that is all good, but I think we may as well buy said player for the greater economic benefits long term.

I think King and Robins have identified that the big money is made through strikers and goal scoring midfielders that you own: hence why we have reinvested so much money in Wright and Simms and I expect a material midfield signing too. Developing other teams strikers works for you in the short term but doesn’t help the business model.

I think we will struggle to attract a high profile attacking loan for this very reason. We need our big investments to work and will give them every opportunity to do so.

A loan with an obligation or option to buy might be different

Well from the myriad of people we tried and failed to get off the wage bill last year, even that won’t be easy. Best hope is a loan where someone can contribute.

Basically the same thing with a year to run on his contract.

Either way his performances last season were clearly so bad nobody will go near him, no matter how far out of his goal he comes.

It seems a long way for Moore to come back from if he stays, third choice to Wilson and Collins. If I was him I'd have my agent touting me around everywhere, unless he's happy to just sit there and take the wages

He did unfortunately, more than once . Grendel ,once his mind is made up , is not for turning . You will notice it this season with Kasey Palmer

Oh well, at least we only have one obvious dud taking up wages. Pretty good compared to, well, any season in living memory.

He did, but in fairness was a long time ago. Think maybe in the league one days.

This must be our most efficient use of wages in my lifetime. Slimmed down 18-23 bracket, virtually no dead wood, prospects loaned out. Add the fact that match day squads are now 20 so more players get used. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Moore’s contract terminated if he’s not found a club by September.

Now its potentially a reality , Will mark Robins be Coventrys greatest manager if we get promoted

Thank you- long time lurker overseas, and for what it’s worth you are an excellent poster, especially in the match threads which can be a total cesspit 😂👏 Geez don’t big him up too much hahaha

Why are you arguing with Grendel, you’ve been registered on here a week and are picking a fight with him. At least wait a few years

Makes sense them using the free transfer market, seeing as they are spunking cash on floodlight leccy to announce signings left, right & centre.

Just seen a very loose rumour somewhere that we are after Domingos Quina. Wouldn't normally put it in here as it looks like it's from some random Instagram page but I'm bored so here you are

Assumed he'd end up at a middling Championship club. Sums up most of the business Sheffield Utd have done.
