What we definitely need is more assets we don't own.

He's had his chance. He's far too slow and unathletic to play out wide at this level. You'd HAVE to play him as a #10, which there's a queue for.

To be perfectly honest it's too late anyway now. They've thrown away 8 games this month.

Fantastic GK at this level.

https://x.com/CoventryKing/status/1881819723710730528 Imagine being a professional commentator and making this observation. The club has had the life strangled out of it. By rights nobody should go.

He's going to cost 10x what Cantwell did.

Lies, damn lies and statistics. xG remains a very flawed stat and we all know they get very, very little service.

He's 30, about to turn 31. We need youth (and pace) not experienced players on the downside of their career. We have enough of those in the squad now.

Ohashi and Gueye are both much better than Gallagher, Ennis and co. I wouldn't say the jury is out on them - they're competent Championship CFs. Toth bizarrely hasn't been given a chance.

8 games in a month is not kind.

He's the lad that takes the ball off the CB's toes and pings it five yards sideways, right? Better than Forshaw (at his age), but not someone I'm sad we missed out on.

Sounds like his club are playing hard ball. If it's over £1m it's no longer a cheap deal.

I think that's a desperate bid from a team deep in a relegation battle.

I'd call it being consistent. https://x.com/itvfootball/status/1883213737240273177

People turning their nose up at £xm for Pears. Stop the world, I want to get off.

Duru and Markanday out too, with Gamble poised to follow.

There isn't a court in the land that wouldn't have convicted them several years ago. How much more evidence do we need that they're asset stripping and leaving us to rot on the vine?!

Spending a shitload of money. Again.

8. Nice round number that. The same number of games we've played in January without any reinforcements coming in.

He was pushing to leave. You can't hold unhappy players hostage - he wanted (and earned) a shot at the PL. We got very decent money for a 29 year old with a 12 month purple patch on his CV. We just didn't reinvest it.

Who's making that argument, cos he's categorically not!

I would happily hire a limo and drive him there myself. Did you not watch him throw two into the back of his own net on Saturday?

We're playing Calamity Pears in net. We clearly don't value the GK position too much. Get Hilton de-registered if it allows us to bring in another good outfield player.

Anyone that watched 30 seconds of ACD could tell you he isn't quick.

So why turn down repeated offers to buy it from them? It's a sunk cost - they're never getting their money back, but they can stop the bleeding.
