    Shame...as I suspect he was one of Danny's original half dozen "top targets"

    I was wary of this signing - you never know if players over 30 are willing to knuckle down to earn a crust or just just want to roll up for one last payday. The last thing I'd want is to see us give him a contract just to see him and his wife Victoria sponge off the club for a couple of years.

    He was high earner and feeling was Coventry were trying to lever him out, bit like us and O Grady. Seems like they are stuck with him.

    I had never heard of his so I checked out his stats. He is hardly a World
    beater is he. Just another over rated old man.

    I'm not too fussed over this, he probably would've been decent at this level but he's older than 30 and is probably demanding a lot more than what we should be offering him so yeah let him stay at Coventry on whatever wages he's on there.

    Nevermind. I'm only interested in players who want to be here. Sadly we'll be looking for a plan B in that area now. But in Danny we trust.

    I'm disappointed.

    From what I read, he was a choux-in.
