Also Birmingham will think they are guaranteeing goals but we thought the same about ladapo when he walked through the door and look what happened with him
Behave! Alfie has done it 3 years in a row for sides struggling in League 1, not the runaway league1 winners!
Shall we remind ourselves about Cole Stockton? Sometimes being the main man in a struggling team is beneficial for a player. May strikes me as someone who wants to be the big fish
Now you're just chatting absolute bollocks about someone's personality.
Firstly I'm chatting the worst shit in history for saying Miles Leaburn is really good, now a personal speculation that even uses 'strikes me as' rather than 'is' about how our chest-puffed, extremely outgoing and chipper forward who likes to try 45-yard volleys might just want to be the main man means I'm essentially the worst human being alive. This is fucking desperate stuff, pal
I guess we just ignore the miultiple reports on here from people who've met him that he's a shy, reserved, but a very nice bloke. I know you tend to over react when anyone dares disagree with you but that last bit is a stretch, even for you.
Hopefully May will be as successful as the last CAFC bod that jumped ship to Brum.
Aneke? So we’ll buy him back in 6 months time?
Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if May returns in the next couple of years, he’ll probably end up on loan somewhere in league 1 if Birmingham go up this season
Godden will be 33 at end of month....how is that an upgrade for 30 year old Alfie with a proven record in this division
Age is just a number, why does this repetitive stuff keep surfacing, Godden has a good deal of experience at a higher level than Alfie, and will prove a good addition...
Interesting that the Godden signing is not on the official site. Maybe they are in touch with a consultancy on the words to use!
I hope both Godden and Berry are still fully motivated lads. We've had some indifferent results of 30yo+ signings from the Championship over the years.
Interesting to see Godden’s been Coventry captain on occasions. One of the many things we lacked last season was experienced leaders with a bit of guile. He and Berry hugely address that.

It’s down to whether how much you trust Jones I guess.
His big ethos is all focused around ‘standards’, and if he is the key driver in the transfer window as he keeps mentioning, then I don’t really feel like we’re going to get anyone whose ‘heart is not in it’.

I'm sure he is! Off the field! On the field he wants to be the guy. This isn't a bad thing! I'm not slagging him off!
if this squad wins promotion given we have signed 4 players where 2 are squad players, then jones is a fucking tactical genius and the best manager ever. As this group of players were lacking in multiple areas last season and personally I don't see how we've gone anywhere but backwards in terms of strength in depth by losing Dobo and May so far. I'd love to be proved wrong and for us to have a fantastic window, I just don't see it.
Well you can't see what hasn't happened unless you can see into the future. What you say is reasonable except for the fact that the transfer window doesn't close until the 30th August.

Fair enough. I read your initial post in a tone that wasn't there - apologies.

And likewise, I don't want you to 'go hang'. Hang OUT? At The Valley? With 20,000 other fans? Sure
But yeah, a point here is that Nathan Jones doesn't want any one player to be the guy. As a fan of the Cantonas of this world, but as a fan of a League One team, I can see both sides of the argument. Cantona wasn't the only guy in that United team mind
The sickest joke of the month would be all those wanting Dobson to stay, and blaming the club for him leaving, finding out Dobbo does not want to return. Any bets?
Is Godden better than May? All the evidence suggests he isn’t.
What evidence?
How many seasons has May played in the championship?
I’m not defending Gosden here, neither am I going all Ronnie Moore and acting like he is Christ reincarnated but I don’t this k there is any clear evidence to suggest May is better
Not going all Ronnie Moore ? ................... but I don’t this k there is any clear evidence ........ Are you sure ?

I don’t know how you’ve looked at Alfie May playing in League One and Matt Godden playing in the Championship and decided that you can conclude that Alfie is definitively the better player.
Last time Godden played in League One he scored a goal every 141 minutes. Last three seasons Alfie has scored every 151, 168 and 154 minutes.
Let’s see where both are at the end of the season shall we.
Yes jones wanted to have most in before pre season but wouldn’t every manager? Let’s all stick together and try to keep the faith!
It would appear that it was only Jones that wanted to have most of his players in by the end of June, he's a complete twat for wanting that. Presumably no other club/manager wanted that so I don't trust that Jones fella. Anyway that's it, the window has closed and we're not getting promoted. Farewell to the season.

This is where we need a "dislike" button
Let's just hope he isn't too far past his "Best before date".
Would we prefer to still have May? - Or would it still be a failure, because one of them hasn't replicated his 24-goals?

...Sorry boss😉

I'm sure I can hear something...
Here it comes...
No!
