This guy can't be Shumi's replacement surely, a experienced Macadonian international v a young lad yet to make a first team appearance. I imagine we have something else planned.....

Who? One must assume theat Keene likes him?

might be another mark noble he was only a kid when he joined us on loan and was fantastic so elts get him on board and see what the young lad can do ! still hope to see a striker sign in the next 24 hours tho keane !

What's the point in this?

Clutching at straws anyone?

A very highly rated England youth and U19 International. With something to prove. Give him a chance!!

Could be the new bam bam with that red hair! Captained the reserves for Sunderland, another central midfield though-is he really likely to get a game? More back up for the likes of Garvan, Norris & Trotter I feel.

Excellent, Keano obviously saw him at Sunderland and thinks he's got a lot of potential. Bring him in.

And please, do it quickly! All this speculation and delay with signings is doing my head in.

could be an interesting capture BUT we already have Garvin, Trotter, Walters, Quinn, Healy, Martin, Upson as well as others who can play in the middle of the park....

Sky Sports are reporting this to now, Waghorn has also gone out but it doesnt say where-perhaps a double swoop?

Havent heard of him before but what 'CarrotCruncher' said , spot on

Darlington want Waghorn, so he wont be us at a guess but we dont need him anyway. Priskin, The Celta Vigo 19 year old and the sunderland youngster who could be a new Mark Noble

when noble came, similar age, similar situation, he was one of our best players. good move as far as i can see.

we could sign beckham with la galaxy paying his wages and some people would slag it off.

mr rk my son is 19 kicks with both feet,very quick 6ft tall and has had trials with 2 teams one in championship and 1st division, any chance of a trial with you one day???email me seriously !!!

Give the lad a chance - at least he'll be motivated! Mind you, just seeing the initials RK on a track suit top would probably motivate most people!!

We dont need 2 concentrate on the midfield at this moment in time. We have got a decent starting midfield for coventry. WE NEED A STRIKER NOW.

Have a good season Lisbie.

No.

I think that marks you as an intelectual lightweight. I bet you didn't even consider them before you replied.

It's a done deal, colback is a town player and is eligible to play at Coventry, he will be with us for 1 season, after that there is a choice to buy him, I think what keano is doing is clever

JoeSoap - I have to take issue with some of the points you raised in your original post, but overall I thought you presented a well-thought out and clear argument. Lol ...

Like others have said, I have no idea who this midfielder is, and do we even need him? But .... Keano is no wallyhead. He learned his trade under two of the finest managers of the last 30 years (Sir Bobby excepted, rest his soul) in Cloughie and Fergie, and played at the very highest level with Man Utd for many years. That gives him some pretty good expertise and a very good eye for talent I would say! So to all the negative posters who thought we shoudl have signed Ronaldo, Fabregas and Drogba, give the man a chance and lets see what his budding team has to offer this season.

COME ON YA BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZ!

lJKitfc - how u know that ??

Where does it say this is a done deal?.

joshm, thank goodness you put that sentence in capitals; otherwise Roy might have missed it. It's lucky you reminded him we need a striker - he would have felt silly if he forgot!

Not so sure bout this boy. I don't know his qualities. May be good... But the 20+ striker is what we missing. Now it is a MUST since Rhodes and Lisbie are out of the picture and it seems Pablo will be out too. I'd say we need 2 strikers but will be happy to land at least one decent scorer

Who are these players?!

sounds a good signing. I guess some fans are disappointed that after the reported £5m double deal fell through that we seem to be shopping at the lower end of the market. Is the £5m still there?
