Linked with a permanent move to Sheffield Wednesday. Club have been given permission to talk with Coventry according to reports. Supposedly has interest from other clubs in the championship, League One (Charlton were named), and the Netherlands.
How about Coventry to Coventry ?
Unfortunately I don't think Coventry is good enough for Coventry at this point in time.
League 1 feels about right for Conor at this point in time. He should go well at that level and can be a Championship player within a couple of years. Anything beyond that would be overachieving based on what I've seen of him to date. Nice tidy player, but seems to lack the bit extra that you need to make it to the top.
Similar to Lee O'Connor, winning as many Under 21 caps as that is usually a sign that the player has stalled at that level and maybe isn't reaching the potential that was maybe hoped for them when they were 17 or 18.
He was due to be signed by Wednesday but apparently negotiations broke down over terms.
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Similar career trajectory to Cullen perhaps.
Needed out of West Ham. Hope this can kickstart his career.
Actually forgot that Cullen went from West Ham to Charlton as well. Albeit I think he never signed there permanently, but he was there for two seasons so it kind of felt like he did. However Coventry is making this move 18 months later in his career than Cullen did so will need to hit the ground running here.
Not a great start to his the move anyway.

Could find himself in League Two next season as Charlton are now 20th in the league and only 1pt ahead of 21st who've got three games in hand and 2pts above 22nd who've got two games in hand.
Further information about why Coventry went to League 1 Charlton rather than Championship Sheffield Wednesday. It seems the Addicks got him without paying a fee - and Coventry preferred London to Yorkshire.
