INCRED Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Good season at Coventry and hopefully he has learnt enough to step up to the Championship with LJ giving him an opportunity to play a sufficient amount of games for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coppello Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Does this spell the end for Korey who is out of contract in the summer? We've got a lot of midfielders at the club and we're going to struggle to accommodate them all, particularly with Morrell coming back and Bakinson hoping to break through in the next two years.

While I wouldn't be surprised we'd be looking to give him a new contract and don't doubt they are, to be fair to fevs you posted 'Reported by a Guardian journo, quoted by Gregor.' in your opening post, the quoted tweet from the guardian journo doesn't indicate its a new deal just his contract extended as per the year option in his deal.

Dynamite Red Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I would be very happily surprised if he would extend beyond a year, but why would he? In three seasons he has started barely any games and made a dozen sub appearances. I suspect like Palmer, Adelakun and Smodzic he is baffled as to why the club brought him in and not going to rush to commit to signing another deal.

formerly known as ivan Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Is Walsh or any of our other league 1/2 loanees available to play for us now their seasons have ended, with the exception of the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, apparently they're contracted to us but not registered to play for us this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I suspect it is just the year extension. If LJ sees him in the 1st team this season then he needs to extend him. He was probably Cov's Y/POTY this season. If he is in LJ's plans and did well next season we'd be left getting compensation only (think he falls under that rule).

REDOXO Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 I see the extension/new contract but the Post is reporting Walsh will NOT be competing for a place here as Coventry are done. This seems very strange or is there some rule he can’t? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would imagine with our division unclear, previous comments from LJ, I’d be surprised if Walsh’s longer term contract was more of a priority that players like Fam, Nic, etc. But I’m only guessing. If LJ sees him in the 1st team this season then he needs to extend him. He was probably Cov's Y/POTY this season. If he is in LJ's plans and did well next season we'd be left getting compensation only (think he falls under that rule). Yes, he’s still 23 next summer, so u24 and we would be eligible for compensation (think I may have stated he was 24 earlier, but I can’t add up properly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted June 13, 2020 Report Share Posted June 13, 2020 On 10/06/2020 at 21:28, JonDolman said: I really hope he signs a new deal. I think he could be fantastic for us next season. Absolutely. With the widely anticipated slump in the transfer market with clubs not willing to pay stupid money good players we already own are going to be worth their weight in gold IMO. I`d like to see Jonny Smith as part of our plans too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only seen highlights of him but he looks a very exciting talent. Watching the goals/highlights reel that @Garycpos posted I commented that some of his goals reminded me of Scott Murray at his best - powerful and pacey runs with a neat finish at the end.

My concern with Smith is perhaps the club has been progressing as he has. When he joined in 2016 we were a side who had just avoided relegation, now we're a genuine playoff contender, and while I dont believe we will be, we could still be a Premier League side next season. He's 23 next month, and while he still has plenty of time to improve, he's currently on loan at a League 2 side (not dismissing him purely on that, and he's done a good job at Oldham, but I don't believe he's got on the pitch for us yet) I'm certainly not writing him off completely, and wouldnt even be surprised if he had a career at Championship level in the future, whether it is with us though, I'm less sure. His wiki page suggests his contract is up this year as well. @Garycpos might be able to clarify on that. I wouldnt be against Smith being offered another year or two, but if he wasnt in the first team squad by the end of that it would be time to say it hadnt worked out here, and let him move on.

mozo Posted June 14, 2020 Report Share Posted June 14, 2020 As I was just writing elsewhere, I think it would be smart to keep Walsh at Coventy for half a season to allow him to clock up plenty of minutes in the Championship. I would meanwhile hope we can tie him to a longer contract so that we benefit from his development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 If we're seriously looking at spending for the future, and buying players that will hopefully grow into Prem quality alongside the club, I really think Walsh and Massengo need to be a permanent fixture in our midfield from now on. Massive potential in the both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
