It’s looking likely that Robbie Simpson will go to Huddersfield Town for 500k.

not sure where that comes from but if the rumour is as reliable as the price quoted I think we can discount it. Friend of mine at Cov says the actual fee being asked is "relatively low with add-ons based on performance and a sell-on" but refused to say who was in the hunt for him.

500k!!!:ohmy:
To be honest id be hoping we dont offer anything near that, and think we could do better than that for that amount of money. It has been a bit quiet on targets over the last week or so, not worrying yet though as we have plenty of time.

fair enough - good spot.

still not sure that fee is right though whoever buys but then very few deals (especially at our level) seem to be actual cash these days so guess it depends how it's structured and what you choose to include or exclude when quoting a fee.

my pal was hinting that there are a number of potential buyers (and that Cov will sell) but wouldn't/couldn't say more

They are looking pretty good for a top 6 place then by the sounds...

That’s the scary thing there’s a lot of teams that are looking like contenders for promotion! MK Dons, Tranmere, Huddersfield, Leeds, Norwich, Charlton to name a few. I’d be pretty satisfied if we could finish in the upper reaches of mid table next season.

I hear that Ronaldo's gone to Real Madrid for 80 million.

There is a little link underneath that article that says coventry are interested in a swap deal with sammy clingan of norwich, and Simpson plus a fair bit of cash going the other way. Looks as if he will sign for one of those two, but as i said im not dissapointed at all, many more players as good as simpson i would expect for 500k (or whatever the fee is).

Hardly any deals have been done in the grand scheme of things, loads of playeres looking for clubs having been released from championship clubs (Ifill and Flinders being just 2) not panicking yet that will happen when Murray goes and we don't/can't replace him
