    Not saying its not true, but the other Cov fans don't seem to hold that account in much esteem.
    They don't seem to think it's genuine.

    I do think he’ll go. The release clause makes it easy business for any champ clubs feeling flush as I can’t imagine personal terms being an issue. Won’t lose any sleep over it, he’s not really felt like our player the last 12 months anyway.

    Just had a quick scroll back. This summer alone that account has claimed Coventry have signed a Dutch striker (who has subsequently signed for Hibs), and that Gustavo Hamer had agreed a new deal with a £25m release clause in his contract. He went to Sheffield United last week for considerably less than that.

    Doesn't seem to be a particularly reliable source.

    Linked yesterday morning to Coventry and Bristol City by Alan Nixon, but I am led to believe by the BBS that he's useless with predictions, so we've nothing to worry about....

    Love to see jalo given a run in Styles position.

    Collins plays two deeper midfielders with one more attacking. Duff played with 3 across midfield.

    The attacking midfield position is perfect for Styles as he is a nippy, good with his feet Jalo is similar.

    Phillips will probably get the nod when Styles goes but I'm not sure which one of Connell Phillips Kane Benson Russell Wolfe is most suited to playing further forward.
    Luke Thomas played that role in spells when Duff went a bit more attacking with substitutions and I'm sure he would have fitted in well for Collins.

    Let's be fair, he gets far more wrong than he gets right.

    I would say that given that Phillips skill set with goals and assists it should suit him perfectly.

    Would rather see Chapman he looked to have the quality and strength to do well at this level.

    I don't think Benson or Wolfe will be anywhere near the first team in the next couple of months.

    League 1 news also reporting it's a done deal.. don't know who they are but have fair few followers..
    Cov just sold thre main attacking midfielder as well..
    And they do seem to be trying to take over the 'Luton shop at Barnsley' mantel..

    There does seem to be a feeling of "okay, who else have you got?" from Coventry when we knocked them back about Kitching. Can we sell Iseka to them??

    If anyone from Cov is reading this, you should check Iseka out. Rolls-Royce of a player. Bids in from all over Europe.

    Have Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, Luke Plange, Charlie Wellens and Saido Berahino signed for us yet (to name just four off the top of my head)?
