It’s giving a bit of Liam Lindsay here… He's a bit of a bluffer though. Always got an opinion on every transfer and has probably watched as much of him as us. Exactly. Unless you have family/friends who are fans and a reason to watch Coventry, why would you know that much about him? It’s hardly like Coventry are all over the tv like the PL teams are.

Right footed but I would still take a chance on Tuanzebe Yes, seen he is right footed so unless we’re 5 at back he’s a squad player. We always struggle to get a left sided centre back and have been desperate for one a long time. Balance to the side. Gut feeling this will be a wasted signing. That’s it then. It’s official. He’s shit. The Oatcake has decreed it without ever having seen him play.

Just wondering how you would feel with Rose and Wilmot as our main two centre backs. There’s no clamour for either for a reason. We need a dominant talker in there quick.

Weird it’s announced earlyish on Monday and we couldn’t get it done and him in Spain.
I know next to fuck all about this guy but seems some astute business overall.

There’s no clamour for either for a reason. We need a dominant talker in there quick. I know absolutely nothing about him mate so can’t say one way or the other. Apart from the fact that up until January, when it seems he was dropped for wanting a move to us, he was regularly being picked by a manager some on here think is the second coming of Fergie. 🤷♂️ Nah but he’s shit I’ve decided.

We always struggle to get a left sided centre back and have been desperate for one a long time. Balance to the side. Gut feeling this will be a wasted signing. Since when did a left footed centre half have to play in a back 4? If anything, signing another right footed centre half is even stronger evidence that a back 4 is the preferred system. Have people's memories been completely erased?

Bargain considering we were in for him for £750,000 not long ago Had a look on the Coventry fans forum,and posted on 30th of may,apparently he had sorted out a deal weeks ago and didn't want to stay.

Would seem we must have missed out on someone for us to move to Rose as he’s been available? He could have surely been signed ready for the training camp? A tad worrying to read a quote that he’s not good in the air for a centre half? If he signs we will get behind him though but we must be looking to get a ready made better centre half in as well? Apparently the deal was agreed months ago.

Genuinely not sure where this obsession with left footers has come from, they're only required if we're to use a back 3......which nobody wants

Yeh but don’t worry according to some on here it doesn’t matter if you can’t defend as long as you can pick a pass out

Given the one element of Rose’s game that keeps getting mentioned is his passing it’s probable that he’s at least competent with using his left foot.

A bit confused with people calling this underwhelming or disappointing. A 27 year old who played 20 odd games last year for a team who made the play offs and it seems didn't want him to leave, also he was free. That has to be good business. Who are people expecting us to sign?

Like Stevens and Johnson, ideally would be a squad player but don’t think he will be.

There’s no clamour for either for a reason. We need a dominant talker in there quick. You did not have any idea whether he is right or left footed but on the basis of that total lack of knowledge of this player you say he is going to be a wasted signing. Difficult to argue with that logic I suppose. As for the pairing with Wilmot I have no idea until I have seen them play together but I will remain optimistic. Have to say I usually take that view with most signings. Some you win some you lose but always hope for the best and do not judge too soon.

Yeah, it's a fair point. But we were desperate. This guy doesn't scream 'starter' at you, though, does he? Not if you had a blank canvas to create a play-off challenging team anyway. He doesn't seem to complement Wilmot's skill set (who we assume is going to start) What skill set! But no, you're right, it does seem more like a Wilmot replacement/understudy than a partner for him. He hasn't been a regular starter for the past three seasons, so if we're bringing him in as a starter then that is concerning. He was a regular starter in their League One promotion season, but then the following season appeared to have lost his place to... Leo Østigård! Clarke-Salter edged him out the following season, and then it was Panzo this season. He's just always been on the periphery to better players in the Championship. 21/22 showed he is excellent on the press, and in League One and the games he played in his first Championship season, he also showed excellent aerial ability. However I think he is suspect in possession, and Wilmot is by far the superior ball carrier. I think Rose has potential to be a partner to Wilmot, but he needs some work on the training pitch first. Let's hope Gallagher and co can whip him into shape.

Did he play in the 4-0 last season?

FFS Give the lad a chance. If we made a bid in January then it appears he may well be useful (coventry turned it down)and the coaching staff like him and what he could bring.

I'd be surprised if Neil had identified him as the best we could do as a starter after starting 15, 24 and 18 games in the last 3 seasons. As one of the 2 back-ups in a pool of 4, on a free, you can make a case for him
