The transfer window so far for Coventry on this:

And a bit of loans and small deals
My eyes shot open to the sound of my alarm awaking me. Today was match day but not just any match day, it was a premier league game against Nottingham Forest which would truly be a challenge. I get the chance to defend against Hudson Odoi.
Forest had a great last season by coming 4th in the Premier League taking many by surprise.
I am all ready for the match and I'm on the team bus, I take a seat at the back right corner as per usual but somebody is sitting there, that somebody is... Ben Doak.
"That's my spot", I informed him whilst attempting to not be rude.
"Oh sorry, you're Karl aren't you?", he apologised and asked.
"Yeah", I said in shock, "I was not expecting you to know me." Our recent training sessions I hadn't met him yet.
"Yeah, Keane told me about you.", he responded.
Me and Doak sat and talked the rest of the bus drive as I slightly fanboyed over him due to him playing for Liverpool.
As I'm getting off of the bus, my foot clips the ankle of my other one making me fall onto a conveniently placed bag. I look up to see who's it was and there I saw a man laughing his head off. That man was Simms.
"Oi, quit l-AUG-hing!", I exclaimed but had a voice crack.
Simms only laughed more and more. In frustration, I punched a chair which gave a throbbing pain upon my knuckles. I looked at my hand as it's usual white colour was now getting painted red.
Quickly, I get to some medical staff who wrap it up for me meaning I could go to the dressing room with the rest of the team. I get dressed frantically. But I then hear the footsteps of the manager so, I sit down and put my other boot on as he tells us what he expects from us.
I am now walking out of the tunnel taking in the sight of Nottingham Forest's massive stadium. After my admiration, I snap back into it and get in my position (RB of course). My eyes glance around, looking at the forest players: Chris Wood, Hudson-Odoi, Gibbs-white, Murillo, Aina, Milenkovic, Sels and other good players. The game kicks off and the possession is mainly forest.
Minute 21:Hudson-Odoi receives the ball and attempts to beat me with a la croqueta around my but I intercept it and take a simple touch out to get space from him. I play a pass to sakamoto who plays it to Simms and he then hits it but the shot is blocked.
Minute 34:Chris Wood receives the ball and flicks it through a gap in our centre-backs and is through on goal. Hurriedly, I move my legs as fast as possible to catch up to him and attempt to shoulder barge him but he is too big. I have to end up slide tackling him and quickly getting up to clear the ball away.
Minute 44:Gibbs-white dribbles past 1,2,3 and then gets fouled by Eccles. We have conceded a dangerous free kick. Gibbs-white ends up scoring the free kick 1-0 Forest.
Half-time:Ben Doak->
<-Sakamoto
Minute 47: I receive the ball and ping it to Ben Doak as he works some dazzling dribbling I dart to the edge of the box for a pull back from him. I recieve it and I am about to hit the ball but I slow down my leg to then instead chip it over the defense line to an open Haji Wright who puts it past Sels. 1-1
Minute 67:After a dull 20 minutes, Murillo is doing a run from defense until Eccles fouls him and gets a second yellow. This makes Forest erupt and there is a war of players fighting. I stand there helplessly watching. 'Do something damn it, Do something!' I think to myself and eventually my legs begin movement. I go up to some players and attempt to split up some light scraps. But I find myself in between Milenkovic and Simms. Milenkovic tries to push past me to get to him but I stop him and calm him down slightly. Eventually the game restarts with a few yellows dished out.
Minute 74:We are playing the ball around well and I then play a ball in the gap between Neco Williams and Murillo with the outside of my foot making it land to Doak who manages to weave around the players and win a penalty. My manager ends up telling me to take it. I step up and place the ball down on the spot an stake big deep breathes and take my shot which goes wide of the goal. I missed.
Minute 75:I am subbed off with a roar of booing coming from the fans.
