Antonio Silva for under €30m could end up being one of our smartest signings in years

Obviously nothing is done until it's official, but this feels like exactly the sort of signing we've built our reputation on over the last few years. A young player with plenty of experience already, a reasonable reported fee, and lots of room to develop. If this one gets over the line, I can see why so many people are excited about it.

Landing Aurèle Amenda for £17m is a massive statement of intent for the top flight

Getting the Eintracht Frankfurt deal over the line to secure the 22-year-old Swiss international is phenomenal business by Doug King. The squad desperately needed a powerful, physical presence at the back to handle the step up in quality, and Amenda fits the exact profile Frank Lampard likes to build around. Smashing the club transfer record shows the board is properly backing the gaffer to establish the team back in the Premier League.

Which Coventry City player from this current squad do you think is most likely to be playing at a higher level in two seasons and how does the club replace that if the move comes?

Every Championship club has players who are good enough to attract interest from above and Coventry are no different. The challenge is always whether you can replace the quality when it goes and whether the fee you get for them actually gets reinvested properly. Would love to know who people here think is the most obvious candidate for that conversation in the not too distant future.

Another standout display from Rayan despite Brazil's World Cup exit

Brazil may be out of the World Cup, but Rayan's tournament was another reminder of his potential. The 19-year-old Bournemouth winger started for the third straight game, created more chances than anyone else on the pitch and finished with a perfect dribble success rate.
