My list of who I think we may target / who I want us to target. 

BRK we should be going all in for! Not to worried about his injury. Was a shoulder issue and he opted to have surgery which kept him out for second half of the season. 

• Josh Neufville - Bradford fee - RWB
• James Bree - Free agent - RWB
• Brian De Keersmacker - Oxford Fee - CM
• Will Lankshear - Spurs Loan - ST (maybe)
• Lorent Tolaj - Plymouth Fee - ST
• Ethan Pye - Stockport Fee - LCB
• Ben Wilmot - Stoke free agent - RCB

Derby and Millwall supposedly looking at Tolaj too. We’re picking apart your list!

Plymouth want Mitchell so maybe that may help. It's going to be the offer that he prefers if he leaves.

Just a quickie on Coventry. We won't get much of a fee as a hefty percentage goes to the Hammers.

Same as Alex Mitchell, Millwall have a  20% sell on clause 

West Ham's is supposedly 50% which is significantly more

150% more. 

Presumably Millwall's sell-on is 20% of any profit on what we paid (£200,000 ?), whereas West Ham's is a straight 50%, as Coventry was on a free.

Amazing how player's can be praised like Conor Coventry was during last season and the first half of this season but then suddenly being spoken of in the past tense and going from Mr Consistency to losing his place.
No wonder so many footballers are insecure because of the highs and lows of their careers.

I suppose for Coventry specifically his consistency was one of his best features though - he was rarely a match winning player on his own but you know exactly what you are getting. He's got quite a limited role but he did it very well.
As soon as he started losing consistency he becomes someone who has a limited role that he wasn't even doing that well and Coady coming in to basically "out Coventry" him was fantastic for the team but a blow to Coventry himself.

Genuinely not sure where all the background to all this is coming from.

I thought Conor Cov was carrying a knock and having been playing week in week out got a much needed breather and recovery when Coady signed? Nothing has changed in Cov’s game or his consistency from what I have seen. He has either been directed to sweep in front of the back three with short passing or hit the wing or big man - mainly the big man which can look good, bad or indifferent depending how effective the player out top is playing. 

Cov’s stats on passing are the highest performing in our squad this season at close to 80% -

1. Conor Coventry · 78.9% ; 2. Macaulay Gillesphey · 72.6% ; 3. Lloyd Jones · 75.7% ; 4. Amari'i Bell · 75.5% ; 5. Kayne Ramsay · 75.5%.

Interestingly all of our highest passing players are at the back which helps explain why so few goals were scored as more often than not you would hope a b2b midfielder or CAM would hold the top spot.

Anyway, do not think he is going anywhere and will have benefitted from his first season back in the Championship since his spell at Rotherham.

But he can’t make a forward pass
