I didn’t disrespect them I provided a counter argument is that not what debates and forums are for?

Yes and as alluded to hagi wright is/was simply better?

As stated there can be other reasons as to why a manager would sell a player it’s not always based on ability or lack of

Alvarez asked for more minutes pep said they couldn’t be guaranteed then Alvarez asked if he could leave missing the point - just because a manager is willing to let go of a player doesn’t mean they are poor

if a team has their striker (who’s better) ie hagi wright BTA has expressed his desire to play through the middle (according to som cov fans) Lampard could cash in for couple mill and reinvest city sold Alvarez to Madrid simply because pep had haaland / Alvarez wanted more gametime. does that mean pep thinks Alvarez is poor?

Jason Lowe went for free and was likely picked up for his experience rather than ability it’s completely different when you are paying couple of million for a player but yes managers can get it wrong and have done in the past it’s a case of we won’t know until it happens

Of course it doesn’t an opinion is an opinion at the end of the day but it does strengthen the argument for those who have the opinion that he would be a good signing. A much thought of and sought after efl manager looking the player would suggest he has something about him

I’d have reservations on that tbh for me whatever budget we have must be spent on players who can help the team now poku is out until mid feb he will then take a few weeks to get up to speed and then you hope he can make the championship jump if we were flush then it’s a no brainer but for me we need players ready now or it’s another wasted window and the chance for top 6

Are we willing to spend our extremely limited budget on a player who won’t be ready to play for us until March?

Poku is injured until mid feb

Agreed even though we won 3-0 last night it was very evident we need a winger and another striker Iv stated numerous times about this block being vital and about it being ‘kind on paper’ I’d just like them to give us the best chance

No I agree to an extent yes it’s goals were after just wasn’t sure if you genuinely were getting mixed up with another player as he’s not that tall see how it plays out all on venkys/recruitment team now

BTA - I’m not sure if your speaking about the same player but he’s not even 6ft so unsure about the big cf or big target man comments what he does have is abundance of pace

If I thought we would actually reinvest I’d be accepting offers for Dolan no problem but we won’t so we’re caught that way

He also stated that Dolan was going to sheff United and Brewster was coming here a few days ago

But the majority of all league games he’s behind their number one striker or even their number 2 striker point is he hasn’t been played sufficiently enough at 9 at Coventry for fans to say he’s bollox when wright plays he’s the 9 BTA operates the wings more just because he might have lined out there doesn’t mean he played there. That’s the problem with websites the don’t tell the full story

Possibly but what massive upgrade can we get for short of 2million bare in mind it certainly seems like Eustace wants championship experience as a priority (I don’t agree with that myself but he’s the boss)

Actually an improvement on what we have got is what we are after is it not? again considering venkys won’t stump up any sort of worthwhile cash I’m not saying BTA is the sole answer I’m just saying instead of going by Coventry fan reaction have a look yourself and then judge Iv seen his played out wide (not striker) has had limited minutes so just hasn’t worked out there his wba stats are half decent

I’m sorry but people hanging their hats on other fans saying he’s crap / take him / il drive him up etc is complete and utter nonsense. That’s not how football works Granted there are obviously ‘shite’ players about but BTA isn’t one of those iv seen numerous fans call Diaz shite and stil to this day call him shite if we were to sell Dolan for talk sake to Swansea a lot of our fans would be saying the same ‘il drop him up myself / he’s shite etc every fan is entitled to their opinion but it doesn’t mean it’s right BTA for Coventry was played out on the wing for his limited game time there he’s playing behind hagi wright and bassette and normally only play 1 striker so his goal return is going to be relatively low considering his minutes and out of position now I wish we were in a position (or venkys would have the ambition we do) to go for a cannon or that ilk but they won’t so this is the pool of player we are in for

I would ignore his Coventry stint he has barely played as a striker for them he was more through the middle with wba

Just had a Quick Look at his Coventry stint he has played as a winger in the main for them in the limited time he has got

I’d take asante for our winger I wouldn’t have an issue with that if he’s the number 9 then yea wave bye bye to the playoffs

Did he?

6 goals in 2 seasons and just after a long spell out hope we aren’t one of them although if bamford (currently injured) is on our list we’re probably looking at him

The response for me is more in terms of losing szmodics who stepped up as opposed to transfer dealings as he was speaking about losing his 33 goals
