Just the 22? Lots of young talent in there and quite a few that might need time to adjust/settle. Money is another issue.. also how many players can we actually register?Joel Felix LCH Silkeborg

Gaston Ramirez worked out ok while he was on
The summer windows have faired no better, recruitment is poor full stop - don't think anyone hasn't realised though.Telling that we have to go back 6 years for the last time January produced a decent signing for us
a weak link? he wasn’t playing and he’s been injured.sad to say but Crooks feels like a weak link all of a sudden, a shadow of his best form and too often suspended. Not saying he can't turn it around but he needs to sharpish. Howson was always going to be less effective this season and that's just time catching up on him not him becoming a bad player. Mowatt is probably better than we've seen soo far, Howson had a poor first season and turned it around to become our best player for several after it.
How does a Gyokores sort out the midfielder or the defence?Coventry are now in a transfer embargo due to money owed to HMRC. I’ve just read on the BBC Championship page
Should have gone for Gyokeres in the summer and he meets the criteria. Knows where the net is and more importantly is in the notebook 🖌
No point, his body couldn’t handle championship football, we saw how badly it went when we tried playing woodgate every other game to manage his fitness.Phil jones for sure- bit of class and an organiser
We did - and were quoted a staggering £25million!!Coventry are now in a transfer embargo due to money owed to HMRC. I’ve just read on the BBC Championship page

Joel Felix - europa league experienceJust the 22? Lots of young talent in there and quite a few that might need time to adjust/settle. Money is another issue.. also how many players can we actually register?
Midfielders are the order of the day a Grant Leadbitter? a Barry Robson? a Lee Cattermole.. probably two and then we could do with a Lee Tomlin, a Gaston Ramirez..
Michael Carrick needs all the favours pulling out, Steve Gibson needs all the favours and pennies from behind the settee, Keiron Scott needs to do whatever he was brought here to do!! Time got Jonathan Woodgate to dust of the PowerPoint..
I’ve mentioned Josh Campbell & Bojan Miovski myself, same with Pellistri and Garnacho. Not sure if the young uns would be ready to step up and battle it out at the bottom of the league.Joel Felix - europa league experience
Connor Coventry - europa league experience
Josh Campbell - Scotland u21 international
Brandon Williams - premier league quality
Sorba Thomas - top talent in the championship
Bojan Miovski - 12 cap international in decent form
Jamie Maclaren - prolific experienced international
Elijah Adebayo - experienced championship striker.
Pellistri and Garnacho - the next generation at Man U
Matt Smith - Arsenal u21 captain
Calvin Ramsay - Liverpool top talent .
As good as we can expect ?
I do think we have to take into consideration experience and the number of games these players have under their belts. We can’t afford players breaking down and the workload is going to be terrific. I would say 100+ games in the bag for anyone we’re looking at.. and some evidence of playing a high volume of football.Joel Felix - europa league experience
Connor Coventry - europa league experience - a Grant Leadbitter
Josh Campbell - Scotland u21 international - a Barry Robson
Brandon Williams - premier league quality
Sorba Thomas - top talent in the championship - a Lee Tomlin

Matt Smith - Arsenal u21 captain - a Leadbitter / Robson
Ramadani - a Leadbitter / Robson type .
Toni Teklic - Tomlin type
Telmo Arcanjo - can play both wings - an international
Hugo Vetlesen - Champions league experience,
prolific - 49 games 16 goals 18 assists - a Ramirez type
Calvin Ramsay - Liverpool top talent .

McGree was (signed from MLS) £3m, Hoppe was (signed from La Liga) £3m, Forss (signed from the prem) was £3m, Matt Clarke was £2.5m (signed from a prem club)Anyone available for thirty bob and a saveloy! We are broke apparently and only hunt in bargain basement now for the likes of Mowatt, Smith etc or young projects like Forsse and Hoppe.
I worry fans are once again going to have expectations way beyond our Chairman’s ambitions and another damp squib of a window will bring more of the same. We will sign two journeymen at best and not on Premiership wages.
