modern matron Posted 19 January, 2010 Share Posted 19 January, 2010 He's 25 today! I know a Coventry season ticket holder and he is bemused as to why he is not in the team. I don't rate Coleman anyway so I don't consider him a great judge of a player. Most Coventry fans I have spoken to consider him their best defender. Forget and get behind the new signings - this is irrelevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torbay Saint Posted 20 January, 2010 Share Posted 20 January, 2010 Jesus. It's liking banging my head against the wall with some people... You coming from this situation with no knowledge at all. You don't know what fee Coventry wanted, Ward's wages, fitness, signing on fee etc. Do we really need a high earner in the squad at the moment with Jaidi, Perry, Thomas etc when we can pick him up in the summer (if needed) for free?? Likewise, aside from ONE game at Millwall have you ever seen Seaborne play? Steve Perryman rates him as one of the best ever to leave the Exeter and believes we have done a clever bit of business. At Exeter he was being watched by several CCC league teams and we know Norwich placed a bid for him. Yet Ward is still at Coventry. There is surely a reason for this?? We only have to look down the road to realise how dangerous splashing money around without a care is. It was only 6 months ago that we were in a similar position. I think it is still important the Club is ran sustainably and if that means signing a few players with real potential that could generate a profit if and when we feel it is sensible to sell, rather than sign proven players on big wages, then so be it. I for one never want to be in the position we were in last year ever again. Pardew's transfer record at this Club to date is spot on and I for one will support his view on player transfers at present. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pardew's transfer record at this Club to date is spot on and I for one will support his view on player transfers at present. still there, although public knowledge Coleman wants him out, and was annoyed he has not gone yet - and he was willing to drop a division. I do wonder whether, and said before, that it maybe as simple as Seasborn was seen as better long term partner for Fonte due to playing styles or being left footed? We have quite a simplistic view of CBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMike Posted 20 January, 2010 Share Posted 20 January, 2010 why has the Barnard thread turned into a Ward love-in? Has anyone actually seen him play?

MerceSaint28 Posted 20 January, 2010 Share Posted 20 January, 2010 Disagree Doddsy. If you saw the game at Milwall, 2 things stood out. 1/ Lack of pace up front with Lambert. Waigo is not that quick, but is an excellent squad player to fit into many different positions. 2/ Lack of power in midfield. Abdou bossed our midfield and i still feel Morgan is too weak in phsical sitautions. A genuine ball winner with some pace would be great here. Barnard - Very similar to Connelly and lacks pace Lisbie - Has pace but is old (31 years) and would be a short term option Hooper - Great outside bet, not on the radar and at an unfacied club. Decent pace and excellent finisher, a real dark horse i feel. Jackson - The fans choice - Has the killer pace and finishing ability but comes with a hefty price tag and wage packet, plus other clubs in higher divisions are interested.

The groundsman has been asked politely to slow down when walking the lawn mower any place near the lads in sprints/training. I think Holmes is in the last chance saloon and hopefully will stay fit...Antonio is work in progress. If we sign Barnard he will keep Holmesy company in the sprints....But hopefully will help Lambert, Lallana and Connolly with extra goals in our push for the play offs and our up coming Wemberley trips.....Fingers crossed for all the above, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints-cris Posted 20 January, 2010 Share Posted 20 January, 2010 We have a quick team lets face it.. and why some are iffy about us hopefully signing one of the top scorers in the division for a tiny fee is confusing.

Chez Posted 20 January, 2010 Share Posted 20 January, 2010 And a host of Coventry and Exeter fans, including some I know personally. Not sure how many times I have to say I'm not writing him off. perhaps you need to sit back and enjoy the ride for a week or two rather than coming back on here every five minutes crying about not signing Ward and signing Seaborne instead. What's done is done. Pardew had his reasons and maybe they will be revealed at a fans forum some time. If Seaborne fails to make the grade then its a black mark against Pardew, but even if he does (fail) Ward still needs to shine (if he passes a medical elsewhere). If Jardi recovers quickly then it won't matter as Fonte and him will play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to play Papa as a striker and buy a decent right winger I would have thought. The further back on the pitch we play him, the less likely he is to be flagged offside! I would be happy if we brought in Barnard as a back up to Lambert, but I'm fully in the camp that would like to see a pacy striker here to compliment Lambert. That's not to say we can't have both, £200k for Barnard is Mifsud who I'm assuming is still training with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
