I'm amazed at how many fans know this kid & know how good (or not) he is. Does everyone watch W.Ham reserves ? Yes, I know he's been loaned out a few times but hardly a household name.
Assuming Coventry signs before noon tomorrow does he go straight into the team ?
If so, can he play up front because currently we are very light there.
(2nd point in jest)
You don’t just dislodge Fraser the flake like that. Fraser’s going to up his game and motion to where he wants players to run to much more frequently now. Coventry’s got to earn his spot

Being honest mate I don’t know the kid at all but my point is we beat a number of other clubs apparently including championship clubs that in itself is a change of focus imo
Exactly what he needs , wonder if AFCW and Jacko would be interested?
Don’t think he’d get into their midfield. I would guess he will go to the national league, would guarantee minutes and then we can recall him when we have another injury crisis later in the season
Re the amount of midfielders we'd have on the books - I'd like to think the Coventry signing would free up Anderson to go out on loan and potentially look at moving on from Fraser. I'm also not overly convinced about Camaras fitness record either so depth could actually be very useful.
Coventry sounds promising but I had never heard of him until a few days ago when we were linked. Hope he signs and does well for us and can step up a level. I also hope he is a catalyst for others to join.
Whilst we have plenty of CM's, next season I would only want us to have retained Dobson (but think he will be sold), Coventry and Taylor.
Feel genuinely sorry for Reading fans right now, their club is a mess. Much like when we were in a mess (not the same reasons) and Brentford stepped in with a low-ball cash upfront offer for Ezri Konsa however we should be looking closely at their squad and even better youth players for the future (ie Caylan Vickers). They would do the same to us the other way around.
I think Dobson will stay & CBT will go & we’ll consequently change to 532:
AMB Watson - Jones - Hector - Panzo - Edun Dobson - Coventry Fiorini or Camara (Chem until they are fit) May - JCH
If they strengthen the spine this window with the players mentioned above I’d say it will have been a v.gd month (& they can finish the job with other positions in the summer).
If this Coventry deal is completed and with the JCH offer I think some ambition is being shown by the new owners and should be applauded. I’ve previously resisted comments about the owners taking a wait and see approach but from what I’ve seen this window so far its been pretty positive. Still plenty of work to be done but the signs have been good. Just my own opinion of course.

Good chance Panzo will be Championship bound I think

Fraser, Camara, L Watson, McGrandles can all go
Anderson and Adigun sent on loan.
Fiorini and Bakinson I know nothing about.
Savage might be worth a punt as well.
AMB
Watson - Jones - Hector - Panzo - Edun
Dobson - Coventry
Fiorini or Camara (Chem until they are fit)
May - JCH
Definitely not the same level as JCH, Humphrys, Ladapo etc
