Sadly this is the exact thought that crossed my mind as well.

The absolute state of this. There's not a chance this happens 😆

Southampton and Leicester linked and little no money, no squad SUFC entice him here? Naaaaahh. Not when he thought that he needed to move on from the very promising trajectory that Coventry are on.

They finished 9th didn’t even make playoffs.

9 points from Norwich who sacked the manager.

6 points from Hull who sacked the manager.

I'd like to think that's not the case now the closer we get. He isn't off to Leicester so can rule them out. We have been in talks with his reps for the past month and he's been top of our list since last season finished. Was Willock and O'Hare. Now its O'Hare and Brooks.

David Brooks? On a loan or what? Just for pigs game?

Super .. any word on anyone else leaving ie any interest in Souza, Grbic , Anel ?
 
I see us not having much of a squad as a positive rather than a negative when it comes to signing new players. Wilder can literally be saying to players like O'Hare... "We are going to be bringing in players to build the squad around YOU"

Would you rather join a club with a nearly full squad with a lot of deadweight or a club that can build the squad around you?

Can't be true surely. Rifleman says it's not happening 😂😂😂

We are talking about a club that has around 20 players less than last season and has brought 1 free transfer in. My money is on the 'can't be true'until the club proves otherwise.

Eagerly awaiting the proof as that would be some midfield for the championship
 
This was always the one I've had as my priority target this window.

I do take the notion of better opportunities out there for him, as a free you'd be surprised some Premier League clubs aren't after him, but with my optimistic hat on:

He was in Sheffield last season with Hamer, his good friend, who may or may not have been singing praises to entice a move. As lmaobob said, he's guaranteed a starting place with plenty of game time. With a takeover looming, we may be more likely to be in the Premier League next season than the 3 promoted club's for various reasons. We're clearly a great club for players to develop with Doyle, Ndiaye, Gibbs-White (in recent times) all getting a good move.

My concern on it happening would be the fact he's 26 and after a brilliant season, his agent will be gunning for that good move now.

Fingers crossed this happens as it would be a cracking signing, let alone a free one.
 
Was Willock now Brooks? Seems I was right about Willock being the player Wilder mentioned watching on the last day then

Would seem odd to me that he'd be that high on the list to begin with though because he didn't have a good season

If we do get Brooks and O'Hare that would be an astronomical amount of creativity. You don't get better creative players than those 2 at championship level

If we planned to use these two in the current system though some thought needs to be given towards midfield physicality/defensive balance because the inevitable Hamer/Arblaster combination is lacking in that respect

A longstanding friend who is not a Blade just messaged our group chat made up of blades and grunters that we have signed in his words " a greasy slicked back haired lad from Coventry" amongst others He did name his source but I dont know the source and whether he has a strong connection to the club. Might be boll*x but he's not one to normally speculate on transfer stuff

If this does turn out to be true and the information I was given is not B*llox then we may also be signing :

Joe Worall
Callum Doyle from Man City on loan
Michael Cooper

Grbic going to Getafe

Fingers crossed for some action.

It's the best position to be in if you have new owners with deep pockets. The club's money isn't tied up on tons of really expensive shit players on mega money (like a lot of relegated clubs). Wilder 1.0 had a similar situation in L1, but he had to sell DCL, Ramsdale and Adams to fund the rebuild. Our money would only stretch so far so we couldn't really get many highly rated youngish players at the time. With potentially more money to rebuild with hopefully we can. The names we are getting linked with are exciting that's for sure.
 
I think we have a better chance because he’s best mates with Hamer. See Hamer post on his instagram stories with him and O’Hare together frequently so that could definitely help. They know how each other play, would be a great signing

How much do you trust your source? Using that to gauge how excited I should get
