Can't stand whinging managers! When Strachan bought these players he knew they were going to play Internationals and he knew the International calendars for the respective countries.

COVENTRY CITY boss Gordon Strachan has admitted that all the international call-ups for the recent internationals have severely disrupted his preparations for Saturday's vital Premiership clash with Derby County. The Sky Blues manager has had to make do without a number of his star players including Gary Breen, Craig Bellamy, John Hartson and skipper Moustapha Hadji for the second successive week of training.

Strachan insists that he has been unable to plan for the game at Highfield Road properly with such key men missing and that the real preparations for the crucial game would only take place once all those stars returned from international duty.

Is he whinging? Or was he asked a question and gave an answer?

More importantly, when does the Coventry relegation sale start, and is there anyone we'd want to consider? ;-)

Thompson, Chippo, Hadji, Bellamy and Hedman. I think these are decent players.

It'd be funny if we did end up getting Bellamy but for less than Bobby wanted to pay when Ferguson left, could do with him improving on his finishing though (Bellamy not Ferguson)

I don't think I'd laugh if we got Bellamy.

I'd take Thompson & Hadji though.

Having marginally dodged the bullet with Bellamy first time around,we are actually stupid enough to reload the gun!
